DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Food and Nutrition Service


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

April 5, 2016.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding (1) whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by May 11, 
2016 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to: Desk 
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), [email protected] or 
fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, 
Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-7602. Copies of the submission(s) 
may be obtained by calling (202) 720-8958.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): Employment 
and Training Program Monitoring, Oversight and Reporting Measures.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: In an interim final rule, FNS is amending 
the SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 273 to implement the employment and 
training (E&T) provisions of section 4022 (a)(2) of the Agricultural 
Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-79). Section 4022 (a)(2) of the Agricultural Act 
of 2014 requires the Department to develop national reporting measures 
and for State agencies to report outcome data to the Department. State 
agencies are required to submit reports on the impact of certain E&T 
components and, in certain States, the E&T services provided to able-
bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs).
    Need and Use of the Information: While a number of State agencies 
have collected various pieces of information about the outcome of their 
E&T efforts, this rule will require the reporting of uniform outcome 
data. With this information FNS will be able to identify more, and 
less, successful E&T practices and work with State agencies to improve 
their E&T programs. This process is critical to building a more 
effective E&T operation nationally that will help move more individuals 
into the workforce more quickly. Beyond the many benefits that earnings 
provide to SNAP's low income population, they also reduce the cost of 
SNAP.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 53.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting; Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 12,233.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
