Download as PDF srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES 12316 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 44 / Monday, March 7, 2011 / Notices Food and Nutrition Service Title: In-depth Case Studies of Advanced Modernization Initiatives. OMB Control Number: 0584–0547. Summary of Collection: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a critical source of support for many low-income families and individuals. In recent years, states have implemented new procedures and policies in order to reduce SNAP administrative costs while maintaining or improving program access. These changes often referred to as modernization-incorporate technology, administrative restructuring, community partnering, and policy simplification. Together, the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, which amended Section 11 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, 7 U.S.C. 2020, and the Food Nutrition Act of 2008, which amended Section 17 of 7 U.S.C. 2026, authorizes the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to develop standards for identifying major operational changes, require States to provide any information required by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and authorizes FNS to undertake research that will help improve the administration and effectiveness of SNAP. Need and Use of the Information: Information for the In-depth Case Studies will build on the findings from a previous data collection effort, Enhancing Food Stamp Certification: Food Stamp Modernization Efforts. To obtain a detailed and comprehensive view of the implementation of SNAP modernization initiatives, data will be collected via in-person interviews, focus group discussions, and through administrative case records, application statistics, performance data, and other relevant materials. The project has seven research objectives: (1) Update the existing state profiles of modernization efforts and identify the geographic and caseload coverage affected by modernization changes; (2) describe how key certification, recertification, and case management functions have changed; (3) describe the current roles and responsibilities of state and local SNAP staff, vendors, and partners and how they have changed; (4) document the relationship between SNAP modernization initiatives and stakeholder satisfaction; (5) describe the current performance of each state’s modernization initiatives and the level of outcome variability within each state; (6) compare performance before, during, and after modernization; and (7) document the main takeaway points for use by other states and for future study VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:54 Mar 04, 2011 Jkt 223001 consideration. Without the detailed case study, FNS would need to rely on the states’ general statements regarding program operations and aggregate statistics on modernization initiatives, resulting in an incomplete understanding of how modernization has affected the implementation of SNAP. Description of Respondents: Individual or households; not-for-profit institutions; business or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal Government. Number of Respondents: 1,353. Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (one time only) Total Burden Hours: 1,802. County Title II project matters to the attention of the Committee may file written statements with the Committee staff before or after the meetings. Dated: January 24, 2011.
