DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

October 26, 2020.
    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: 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; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and 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 November 
30, 2020 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for 
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of the publication of this notice on the following website 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information 
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for 
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
    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 Forms: 
Applications, Periodic Reporting, and Notices.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0064.
    Summary of Collection: The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (the 
Act), as amended, specifies national eligibility standards and imposes 
certain administrative requirements on State agencies in administering 
the program. Information must be collected from households to assure 
that they are eligible for the program and that they receive the 
correct amount of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 
benefits. Information collected is limited to that necessary for the 
administration and enforcement of the SNAP Program. The Federal 
procedures for implementing the application and certification 
procedures in the Act are in Parts 271, 272, and 273 of the Title 7 of 
the Code of Federal Register.
    Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information to 
determine the eligibility of households for the SNAP program and to 
determine the correct benefit levels for eligible households. If 
information is not collected to certify households in accordance with 
the Act or we change the frequency of information or reporting 
requirements as they relate to the application, certification, and 
continue eligibility of households would result in a direct violation 
of the Act and its implementing regulations. Further, benefits could be 
overissued or underissued for a long period of time if necessary 
information is not collected or actions are not taken timely.
    Description of Respondents: 53 State, Local, and Tribal Government; 
19,701,724 Individuals or Households.
    Number of Respondents: 19,701,777.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion; 
Monthly; Quarterly.
    Total Burden Hours: 124,187,297.
