SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Enhancing Food Stamp Certification: Food Stamp Modernization Efforts. OMB Number: Not Yet Assigned. Expiration Date: To be determined. Type of Request: New collection of information. Abstract: Over the past decade, increased awareness of the importance of the FSP as a basic safety net as well as a critical work support has led to a variety of efforts to expand eligibility, increase program access and reengineer the FSP. At the same time, States are also focusing on ways to increase operational and administrative efficiency and program integrity. In an effort to document and understand the range of efforts States are employing to enhance the FSP certification process and to modernize FSP administration, FNS plans to develop a comprehensive, national inventory of FSP modernization efforts undertaken in all the States; document key features and outcomes associated with food stamp modernization; systematically describe and compare techniques States are using to modernize the FSP; identify promising practices; and create a single, comprehensive information source on State modernization initiatives. Results of this study will inform FNS policy discussions, provide technical and procedurally relevant information to VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:22 Jun 13, 2007 Jkt 211001 States, and provide a comprehensive and centralized source of information for assessing ways to improve food stamp certification and responding efficiently to the variety of stakeholder queries received. Specifically, the study will focus on four types of modernization efforts: policy changes to modernize FSP application, case management, and recertification procedures; reengineering of administrative functions; increased or enhanced use of technology; and partnering arrangements with businesses and nonprofit organizations. The study will examine the impact of these modernization efforts on four types of outcomes: program access, administrative cost, program integrity, and customer services. To address these objectives, the study will implement a survey of all 50 States (and the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands) that includes State and local FSP administrators and community organizations and for-profit organizations assisting State modernization efforts. Data will also be obtained through: (1) Descriptive case studies incorporating qualitative data through interviews with local and Statelevel staff as well as community organizations and for-profit contractors; (2) discussion groups with food stamp participants and eligible nonparticipants and (3) a limited number of brief in-person exit interviews with food stamp applicants and participants. The study will rely on extant data to describe FSP performance before and after the implementation of State modernization efforts with respect to application approval rates, participation rates, payment accuracy, administrative costs and other outcomes. Survey, interview and focus group questions will be kept as simple and respondent-friendly as possible. Responses to all questions will be voluntary. The Food and Nutrition Service will take the following steps to treat the data provided in a confidential manner: (1) No data will be released in a form that identifies individual respondents by name and (2) information collected through interviews will be combined across other respondents in the same category and reported in aggregate form. Respondents will be notified of the confidentiality measures during data collection. Affected Public: Staff involved in or knowledgeable about modernization efforts at the State level, including FSP directors, policy and operations staff, Management Information System (MIS) and data reporting staff and call center PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 staff; staff from local food stamp offices; State and local staff from community organizations and for-profit contractors assisting with food stamp modernization efforts; and food stamp applicants, participants, and eligible non-participants.
