the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002; Approval of 
Information Collection Request

AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), USDA.

ACTION: Final rule, notice of approval of Information Collection 
Request (ICR).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The final rule entitled, Food Stamp Program: Eligibility and 
Certification Provisions of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act 
of 2002, was published on January 29, 2010. This final rule implemented 
11 provisions of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 
(FSRIA), which established new eligibility and certification 
requirements for the receipt of food stamps. Those provisions 
simplified program administration, allowed States greater flexibility, 
and provided enhanced access to eligible populations. The Food, 
Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 changed the program name from Food 
Stamp Program to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) cleared the associated 
information collection requirements on March 26, 2010. This document 
announces approval of the ICR.

DATES: The ICR associated with the final rule was approved by OMB on 
March 26, 2010, under OMB Control Number 0584-0064.
