SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Issuance Reconciliation Report.
OMB Number: 0584–0080.
Form Number: FNS–46.
Expiration Date: December 31, 2007.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 7(d) of the Food
Stamp Act of 1977, as amended, (the
Act) (7 U.S.C.
2016(d), requires State agencies to
report on their benefits issuance
operations not less than monthly.
Section 11(a) of the Act (7 U.S.C.
2020(a)) requires State agencies to
assume responsibility for the issuance,
control, and accountability of benefits.
Regulations at 7 CFR 274.4(a) and
274.4(b)(2) require State agencies to
account for all issuance through the
reconciliations process and to submit a
report on this process using Form FNS–
46, Issuance Reconciliation Report.
These reports must be submitted to the
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)
monthly and must reach FNS no later
than 90 days following the end of each
report month. The FNS–46 report
reflects the total issuance, returns, and
unauthorized issuance amounts
resulting in the net Federal obligation.
The proposed revision to the
information collection burden
associated with Form FNS–46, Issuance
Reconciliation Report, reflects a
reduction because of the requirement in
Section 7(i) of the Act, (7 U.S.C. 2016(i))
for State agencies to change from
coupon to EBT systems. As States
implemented their EBT systems, they
generally reduced their issuance
reconciliation points to a single
location. Therefore, the number of
respondents and responses declined as
the number of States with EBT systems
increased.
Respondents: State and local
government employees or contractors.
