   The Department invites comments on all aspects of the WIC Program's operations, including the interim final rule revising the WIC food packages published in the Federal Register on December 6, 2007. The revisions align the WIC food packages with the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the current infant feeding practice guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The revised food packages retain the same food categories, but add new food categories and optional substitutions for some current food categories to better meet the needs of WIC's diverse population. Persons wishing to provide comments at the public meetings are requested to preregister with the Pennsylvania WIC Program Office by calling Bonnie Mellott, WIC Education/Outreach Coordinator at (717) 783-1289. Those unable to attend are encouraged to submit comments to the Division of Women, Infants and Children (WIC), Department of Health, 2150 Herr Street, 1st Floor, Suite B, Harrisburg, PA 17103-1625. Written comments will be accepted until May 31, 2008.

   Written comments and those presented at the meetings will be used in developing the State Plan of Program Operation and Administration for the WIC Program for the 2009 Federal Fiscal Year, which runs October 1, 2008, to September 30, 2009. Additional information about the meetings or the State Plan may be obtained by calling the State Office at (717) 783-1289.
