SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Food Coupon Deposit Document. OMB Number: 0584–0314. Form Number: FNS–521. Expiration Date: May 31, 2008. Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection of information. Abstract: The Food Stamp Act of 1977, as amended, Section 10, (7 U.S.C. 2019) requires that the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) provide for the redemption, through financial institutions, of food coupons accepted by retail food stores and wholesale food concerns from program participants. In addition, 7 CFR 278.5 of the Food Stamp Program (FSP) regulations governs the participation of financial institutions and the Federal Reserve participation in the food coupon redemption process. Requirements in the FSP regulations are the basis for the information collected on Form FNS– 521, Food Coupon Deposit Document (FCDD). The FCDD is required to be used by financial institutions when they deposit food coupons at Federal Reserve Banks (FRBs). The proposed revision to the information collection burden associated with Form FNS–521 reflects a reduction because of the decreased number of FCDDs processed by the program respondents. The number of responses per respondent decreased significantly as FNS phased-out the issuance of paper food coupons and implemented the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) system nationwide. Currently, 100 percent of all food stamp benefits are issued electronically. Some paper food coupons remain in circulation, however, as they were issued before EBT was fully implemented in each of the States. FNS is seeking approval not to display the expiration date of the information collection because it is impractical and not cost efficient to incur expenses for a form thats use is rapidly declining due to the number of FCDDs processed annually. As a result of the decreased number of FCDDs now processed, the FRBs have consolidated their processing points from 37 locations to one location. Respondents: Financial institutions and Federal Reserve Banks. Estimated Average Number of Respondents: 10,000. Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: The number of responses is estimated to be 0.0470572 responses per financial institution or Federal Reserve Bank per year. PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24531 Estimated Total Average Annual Responses: 470.5729. Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.0097404 hours per response. Estimated Total Average Annual Burden: 4.583615 hours.
