SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Study of Organizations
Providing or Administering SNAP
Incentives at Farmers’ Markets.
OMB Number: 0584–0564.
Expiration Date of Approval:
November 30, 2014.
Abstract: The USDA, Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS), is undertaking
initiatives to improve access to healthy
foods among nutrition assistance
program participants. Among these are
steps to support access to fresh fruits
and vegetables through farmers’
markets. The overall objective of this
collection is to understand how private
organizations provide and administer
financial incentives for SNAP
participants shopping at farmers’
markets. In addition, this collection
aims to assess how well these incentive
programs work concerning the purchase
of fresh fruits and vegetables at farmers’
markets by SNAP participants. The two
main study objectives are to: (1)
Describe and compare how private
organizations design, operate, and
evaluate incentive program for SNAP
clients at farmers’ markets; and (2)
describe and compare the performance,
outcomes and/or impacts of each
incentive program for SNAP clients
operated during 2012 based upon the
FNS SNAP Anti-Fraud Locator for EBT
Redemption Transactions (ALERT) data
and incentive organization selfevaluation data.
This study is not intended to be
nationally representative. Organizations
to be included in this study will be
chosen from a list of private
organizations that is developed based on
responses received from farmers’ market
managers responding to the FNS study,
Nutrition Assistance in Farmers’
Markets: Understanding Current
Operations (76 FR 79646, 12/22/11). To
assist in the selection process, the list
will tentatively categorize the
organizations (Business-for and not-forprofit) into three groups:
