Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Report of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Issuance 
and Report of Commodity Distribution for Disaster Relief Recordkeeping 
Only.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0037.
    Summary of Collection: Disaster assistance through the Supplemental 
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is authorized by sections 402 and 
502 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance 
Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) and the temporary emergency provisions 
contained in Section 5 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, and in 7 
CFR part 280 of the SNAP regulations. This program is initiated in a 
SNAP project area by FNS when all or part of the area has been affected 
by a disaster. Food distribution in a disaster situation is authorized 
under Section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935. Surplus foods are made 
available by State distributing agencies for relief purposes to victims 
of natural disaster such as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, etc. 
Distribution to these recipients is made primarily through such 
organizations as the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army. These 
organizations use surplus foods for both central feeding operations and 
for distribution to families in homes cut off from normal sources of 
food supply.
    Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information 
through the use of form FNS-292-A and FNS 292-B, which is used to 
monitor program activity, assess coverage provided to recipients, and 
assure the validity of requested commodity reimbursement and to prepare 
budget requests. If the information were not collected, FNS would be 
unable to monitor the issuance of SNAP benefits and the distribution of 
surplus foods during disaster situations.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 108.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 14.
