    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 
September 12, 2022will 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 
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

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: Federal Collection Methods for Supplemental Nutrition 
Assistance Program Recipient.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0446.
    Summary of Collection: Section 13(b) of the Food and Nutrition Act 
of 2008 (The Act) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 
regulations at 7 CFR 273.18 require State agencies to refer delinquent 
debtors for SNAP benefit over-issuance to the U.S. Department of 
Treasury for collection. The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 
(DCIA), 31 U.S.C. 3701, et seq., requires these debts to be referred to 
Treasury for collection when they are 180 days or more delinquent. 
Through the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), 31 CFR part 285, payments 
such as Federal income tax refunds, Federal salaries and other Federal 
payments payable to these delinquent debtors will be offset and the 
amount applied to the delinquent debt.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is used 
by individuals or households to obtain due process before debts are 
referred to TOP for offset. State agencies will use the collected 
information to provide due process to individuals/households; to add 
and maintain debts in TOP; to request addresses; and to certify to 
Treasury the accuracy and legality of debts that are submitted to TOP. 
Without the information, compliance with the DCIA would not be possible 
and departmental participation in TOP would be jeopardized.
    Description of Respondents: 53 State, Local, or Tribal Government; 
272,161 Individual or households.
    Number of Respondents: 272,214.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion; 
Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 48,789.
