Notice of Intended Action
Proposing rulemaking related to special supplemental nutrition program for WIC
and providing an opportunity for public comment
The Department of Health and Human Services hereby proposes to rescind Chapter 73, “Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC),” Iowa Administrative Code.
Legal Authority for Rulemaking
This rulemaking is proposed under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 234.6(1)“f.”

Purpose and Summary
WIC must follow United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations. States do have some flexibility in how some of the federal regulations are implemented; therefore, the Iowa Administrative Code can provide more Iowa-specific practices, but the USDA federal regulations would take precedence.
