Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Waivers Under Section 6(o) of the Food and Nutrition Act.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0479.
Summary of Collection: This is a renewal of an existing information
collection. Section 824 of the Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Public Law 104-193 (PRWORA)
establishes a time limit for the receipt of Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for certain able-bodied adults who
are not working. The provision authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture,
upon a State agency's request, to waive the provision for any group of
individuals if the Secretary determines ``that the areas in which the
individuals reside has an unemployment rate of over 10 percent or does
not have a sufficient number of jobs to provide employment for the
individuals.''
Need and Use of the Information: The Food and Nutrition Service
uses the information provided by State SNAP agencies to evaluate
whether the statutory requirements for a waiver of the SNAP time limit
have been met and to determine specifically whether the designated
areas' unemployment rate is over ten percent or if there is a lack of
sufficient jobs available. If the information is not collected, the
State SNAP agencies could not obtain waivers of time limits contained
in Section 6(o) of the Act.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government;
Individuals or household; Federal Government.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Annually.

to enable applicants to assess their eligibility and the order of
magnitude of the potential benefit for which they may qualify. This
Pre-Screening Tool also enables citizen advocacy groups to help
constituents assess their benefit eligibility.
Need and Use of the Information: The SNAP Pre-Screening Tool is
accessible to the public as an online web-based system. The user is
prompted to enter household size, income, expenses and resource

receive.
