SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action is not a rule as defined by the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601-612) and thus is 
exempt from the provisions of that Act. In accordance with the

or reporting requirements have been included that are subject to 
approval from the Office of Management and Budget.
    This Program is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic

June 24, 1983; or 48 FR 54317, December 1, 1983, as appropriate), this

PURPOSE OF HEARING: The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, 
Public Law No. 103-66 (Mickey Leland Childhood Hunger Relief Act) 
(August 10, 1993) (the Leland Act), contained numerous provisions 
requiring the possible amendment of Food Stamp Program regulations. The 
Department is holding a public hearing to offer State agencies, 
advocacy groups, and other interested parties an opportunity for public 
dialogue on issues concerning the regulatory provisions that are to be 
published in connection with the Food Stamp Act amendments made by the 
Leland Act.
