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,

received within 30 days of this notification. 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

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: Operating Guidelines, Forms and Waivers.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0083.
Summary of Collection: Under section 16 of the Food and Nutrition
Act of 2008 (the Act), 7 U.S.C. 2025, the Secretary is authorized to
pay each State agency an amount equal to 50 percent of all
administrative costs involved in each State agency's operation of the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Under corresponding
SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 272.2(c), the State agency must submit to the
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) annually for approval a Budget
Projection Statement (FNS-366A), which projects total costs for major
areas of SNAP operations, and a Program Activity Statement (FNS-366B),
which provides a summary of SNAP operations during the preceding fiscal
year.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information to
estimate funding needs and also provide data on the number of
applications processed, number of fair hearings, and fraud control
activity. FNS uses the data to estimate funding needs and to monitor
State agency activity levels and performance. If the information were
not collected it would disrupt budget planning and delay appropriation
distributions and FNS would not be able to verify and ensure State
compliance with statutory criteria.
Description of Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 2,866.
