Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Requirement for 
Interstate Data Matching To Prevent Duplicate Issuances

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

ACTION: Interim final rule; delay of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Nutrition Service is delaying the effective date 
for the interim final rule published in the Federal Register on October 
3, 2022, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Requirement for 
Interstate Data Matching to Prevent Duplicate Issuances.

DATES: 
    Effective date: The effective date for the rule published October 
3, 2022, at 87 FR 59633 is delayed until December 6, 2022.
    Implementation date: The USDA (or Department) is implementing this 
nationwide NAC matching solution using a phased approach that will 
allow all State agencies to onboard over a period of 5 years. State 
agencies must comply with the provisions of this interim final rule no 
later than October 4, 2027. The implementation date has not changed.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maribelle Balbes, Chief, State 
Administration Branch, Program Accountability and Administration 
Division, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Food and Nutrition 
Service, USDA, 1320 Braddock Place, 5th Floor, Alexandria, VA 22314, by 
phone at (703) 605-4271 or via email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Food and Nutrition Service published the 
interim final rule, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: 
Requirement for Interstate Data Matching to Prevent Duplicate 
Issuances, in the Federal Register at 87 FR 59633 on October 3, 2022. 
Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), the 
Office of Management and Budget Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs has designated this as a major rule, as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).
    The Congressional Review Act (CRA) requires a 60-day delay in the 
effective date of a major rule from the date of publication in the 
Federal Register or receipt of the rule by Congress, whichever is later 
(5 U.S.C. 801(a)(3)(A)). The rule was published on October 3, 2022, and 
Congress received the interim final rule on October 6, 2022. Therefore, 
the effective date is extended by four days to December 6, 2022, which 
is at least 60 days from Congress' receipt of the interim final rule.
    For this reason, the Food and Nutrition Service is delaying the 
effective date of the interim final rule that published October 3, 
2022, at 87 FR 59633 until December 6, 2022.

Administrator, Food and Nutrition Service.
