SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Report of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Benefit Issuances and Commodity Distribution for Disaster Relief. OMB Number: 0584–0037. Form Number: FNS 292–A and 292–B. Expiration Date: 7/31/2011. Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection. Abstract: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) utilizes Form 292 A and B to collect information not otherwise available on the extent of FNS-funded disaster relief operations. Form 292–A is used by State distributing agencies to provide a summary report to FNS following termination of disaster commodity assistance. Form 292–B is used by State departments of social services to report to FNS the number of households and persons certified for Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D–SNAP) benefits as well as the value of benefits issued. Commodity food distribution in disaster situations is authorized under Section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935 (7 U.S.C. 612c); Section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1431); Section 709 of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965 (7 U.S.C. 1446a–1); Section 4(a) of the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973 (7 U.S.C. 612c note); and by Sections 412 and 413 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5179, 5180). Program implementing regulations are contained in 7 CFR part 250. In accordance with 7 CFR 250.69(f), distributing agencies shall provide a summary report to the FNS within 45 days following termination of the disaster assistance. Disaster assistance through SNAP is authorized by sections 402 and 502 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) and the temporary emergency provisions contained in Section 5 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, and in 7 CFR Part 280 of the SNAP regulations. In accordance with 7 CFR 274.4, State agencies shall keep records and report SNAP participation and issuance totals to FNS. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–246) changed the name of the Food Stamp Program to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on October 1, 2008, to reflect the fact that participants no longer receive stamps or coupons to make food purchases and to emphasize the nutritional aspect of the program. To comply with current law, FNS is using the new program name in this revision of information collection for OMB No. 0584–0037. Affected Public: State agencies that administer FNS disaster food relief activities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 55. Number of Responses per Respondent: The number of responses annually is estimated to be 1 response per State agency per form. Estimated Total Annual Responses: 110. Estimated Time per Response: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 25 minutes (0.42 hours) per form (FNS 292 A and 292 B) per respondent (total of 50 minutes (.84 hours) per respondent).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Report of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Benefit 
Issuances and Commodity Distribution for Disaster Relief.
    OMB Number: 0584-0037.
    Form Number: FNS 292-A and 292-B.
    Expiration Date: 7/31/2011.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) utilizes Form 292 A 
and B to collect information not otherwise available on the extent of 
FNS-funded disaster relief operations. Form 292-A is used by State 
distributing agencies to provide a summary report to FNS following 
termination of disaster commodity assistance. Form 292-B is used by 
State departments of social services to report to FNS the number of 
households and persons certified for Disaster Supplemental Nutrition 
Assistance Program (D-SNAP) benefits as well as the value of benefits 
issued.
    Commodity food distribution in disaster situations is authorized 
under Section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935 (7 U.S.C. 612c); Section 
416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1431); Section 709 of the 
Food and Agriculture Act of 1965 (7 U.S.C. 1446a-1); Section 4(a) of 
the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973 (7 U.S.C. 612c 
note); and by Sections 412 and 413 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster 
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5179, 5180). Program 
implementing regulations are contained in 7 CFR part 250. In accordance 
with 7 CFR 250.69(f), distributing agencies shall provide a summary 
report to the FNS within 45 days following termination of the disaster 
assistance.
    Disaster assistance through SNAP is authorized by sections 402 and 
502 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance 
Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) and the temporary emergency provisions 
contained in Section 5 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, and in 7 
CFR Part 280 of the SNAP regulations. In accordance with 7 CFR 274.4, 
State agencies shall keep records and report SNAP participation and 
issuance totals to FNS.
    The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246) 
changed the name of the Food Stamp Program to the Supplemental 
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on October 1, 2008, to reflect the 
fact that participants no longer receive stamps or coupons to make food 
purchases and to emphasize the nutritional aspect of the program. To 
comply with current law, FNS is using the new program name in this 
revision of information collection for OMB No. 0584-0037.
    Affected Public: State agencies that administer FNS disaster food 
relief activities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 55.
    Number of Responses per Respondent: The number of responses 
annually is estimated to be 1 response per State agency per form.

collection of information is estimated to average 25 minutes (0.42 
hours) per form (FNS 292 A and 292 B) per respondent (total of 50 
minutes (.84 hours) per respondent). Recordkeeping burden for the State 
agencies is estimated to be 25 minutes (.42 hours) per form (FNS 292 A
