the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control

Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Financial Status Report, FNS–
778 and FNS–778A.
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: Section 16(a)
of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008
(the Act) (7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.)
authorizes the Secretary to pay each
State agency an amount equal to 50
percent of most allowable
administrative costs involved in each
State agency’s operation of the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP), formerly known as the
Food Stamp Program. Since 1980, SNAP
has used a program-specific FS–269
variant approval by the Office of
Management and Budget that captures
total SNAP administrative cost and
subdivides it into 26 functional
categories. The Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS) is proposing to have form
FNS–778 and 778A replace SF–269 for
SNAP and be an exception to the new
Federal Financial Report.
Need and Use of the Information:
State agencies will need to submit forms
FNS–778 to receive State administrative
funding and FNS–778A to receive
benefits and comply with applicable
legislation. The FNS–778 will be
completed by State agencies on a
quarterly basis with a final report 90
days after the end of the Federal fiscal
year. The form reports the
administrative costs to operate SNAP at
the State level and supports the claims
for Federal funding. FNS–778A will be
completed by State agencies on a
quarterly basis with a final report 90
days after the end of the Federal fiscal
year. The form requests the program
cash-out benefits where FNS has
approved the issuance of checks or
electronic cash payments in lieu of
electronic benefit transfer (EBT)
benefits. If a respondent does not
respond, the respondent is subject to
withholding of administrative funds or
termination from program participation.
Without the information FNS could not
track administrative and benefit costs
data for program evaluation.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Quarterly.
