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:
E:\FR\FM\16FEN1.SGM
16FEN1
9199
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 32 / Thursday, February 16, 2012 / Notices
(1) Type I: fairly large organizations
that provide grant money to other
organizations that administer incentive
program for SNAP clients;
(2) Type II: smaller than the Type I
organizations, Type II organizations
distribute the SNAP financial incentives
to farmers’ markets and administer the
incentive program for SNAP clients in
the markets that they support; and
(3) Type III: local organizations that
provide money for incentive program
for SNAP clients.
Further stratification of the frame may
be made based on whether the
organizations also provide non-financial
support. Non-financial support might
include providing information and
technical assistance for implementing or
managing incentive program for SNAP
clients or providing staff to work at the
farmers’ markets and assist with the
management of the programs onsite.
There are two main data collection
activities for this study. They include:
• Conducting a telephone interview
with each of one to three key staff at
selected organizations that provide and/
or administer farmers’ market SNAP
incentives. The interview is designed to
gather qualitative data to better
understand the:
Æ Relationship of the organizations to
the farmers’ markets that obtain
incentive funds for SNAP clients;
Æ Primary mission of the
organizations and their history with
SNAP;
Æ Source of the financial support for
the organizations’ incentive program for
SNAP clients, and whether other types
of support are offered;
Æ Number of markets a specific
organization supported in 2012;
Æ Selection process and requirements
for farmers’ markets to be awarded
incentive dollars for distribution to
SNAP clients;
Æ Factors that make it difficult to
implement and manage incentive
programs; and
Affected Public
Æ Characteristics of successful
incentive programs.
The telephone interview will also
capture information on whether the
organizations maintain and/or collect
information on the performance of their
incentive program. This self-evaluation
data may include information regarding
the number of incentives redeemed by
markets with an incentive program,
vendor satisfaction with the program,
and/or data used for assessing the
impact of these programs on farmers’
market sales and SNAP participation at
farmers’ markets.
• Collecting and evaluating selfevaluation data of participating
organizations. Organizations identified
during the telephone interviews as
maintaining data on their incentive
program for SNAP clients will be asked
to share this data for the purpose of this
research study. Self-evaluation data
shared by organizations may include for
example, the number of other
organizations or farmers’ markets that
they awarded or are managing financial
incentive programs for, the volume of
SNAP incentive redemptions, dollar
amount of unredeemed incentives, and
other information. These data will help
identify differences across incentive
programs with respect to performance in
2012. In combination, the selfevaluation data, organizational and
incentive program characteristics
obtained through interviews, and
ALERT data, will inform how such
incentive programs for SNAP clients
may work best in the context of
individual markets.
Affected Public: Respondent groups
identified include individuals working
for organizations (Businesses for- and
not for-profit. Note: preliminary
research suggests that all organizations
in the sample will be not for-profit
businesses. However, the study leaves
open the possibility that some for-profit
businesses will be part of the sample)
Estimated
number of

Responses
annually per
respondent
that provide or administer financial
incentives at farmers’ markets for use
with SNAP clients.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The total number of respondents is 225
individuals at 115 organizations. This
includes up to 3 individuals working for
each of the 15 Type I and 40 Type II
organizations, and 1 individual at each
of the 45 Type III organizations. Out of
the 225 individuals, it is estimated that
10 percent from each type of
organization, a total of 23 individual,
invited to participate will refuse (2.5
Type I, 8 Type II, and 4.5 Type III
organizations). If a selected organization
refuses to participate, another similar
organization will be selected as a
replacement.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: One time.
Estimated time per Response: For 110
individuals participating from Type I
and II organizations, and 45 individuals
from Type III organizations, the
telephone interview will take 60
minutes (1 hour) to complete. For 55
participating individuals (the Type I
and II organizational leaders), the
telephone interview will take 20
minutes (0.33 hours) to complete. It is
estimated that 23 organizational leaders
(from 15 organizations) that refuse to
participate will spend approximately 15
minutes (0.25 hours) on the telephone.
Further, of the 90 organizations that
participate and complete the telephone
interviews, 80 organizations will agree
to provide self-evaluation data for their
programs. To provide the data, it will
take 120 minutes (2.0 hours) of a staff
member’s time
(1 from each organization). For the 10
organizations that elect not to share
their self-evaluation data, it will take 30
minutes (0.50) hours of a staff member’s
time (1 from each organization).
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 341.9 hours.

Purpose and Need for Action
There is a need to eradicate the
noxious weed tamarisk from Piru Creek,
Lockwood Creek, Cuyama River, Santa
Ynez River, Sisquoc River, and Arroyo
Seco River in order to restore and
maintain habitat for riparian dependent
species such as the federally listed
arroyo toad, California red-legged frog,
and steelhead trout. The purpose of this
project is to eradicate tamarisk in a
timely manner and with an approach
that is pest-specific, cost effective, and
safe for the human and aquatic
environments.
The project area is on the Los Padres
National Forest in portions of the Piru
Creek, Lockwood Creek, Cuyama River,
Santa Ynez River, Sisquoc River, and
Arroyo Seco River watersheds. The
analysis area covers 4,247 acres and 368
miles of perennial and intermittent
streams. Infestations of tamarisk
occurring in these streams and their
tributaries within the analysis area are
targeted for removal.
For fish and wildlife, direction is
provided to maintain fisheries habitat
for viable populations of native fish
species and to prevent the destruction
or adverse modification of habitat
essential to threatened, endangered, or
sensitive species. The Forest Plan states
that ‘‘management activities or practices
may occur in riparian areas as long as
habitat and species diversity of the area
is maintained in a healthy state’’ and

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 self-evaluation 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-for-
profit) into three groups:
[[Page 9199]]
(1) Type I: fairly large organizations that provide grant money to
other organizations that administer incentive program for SNAP clients;
(2) Type II: smaller than the Type I organizations, Type II
organizations distribute the SNAP financial incentives to farmers'
markets and administer the incentive program for SNAP clients in the
markets that they support; and
(3) Type III: local organizations that provide money for incentive
program for SNAP clients.
Further stratification of the frame may be made based on whether
the organizations also provide non-financial support. Non-financial
support might include providing information and technical assistance
for implementing or managing incentive program for SNAP clients or
providing staff to work at the farmers' markets and assist with the
management of the programs onsite.
There are two main data collection activities for this study. They
include:
Conducting a telephone interview with each of one to three
key staff at selected organizations that provide and/or administer
farmers' market SNAP incentives. The interview is designed to gather
qualitative data to better understand the:
[cir] Relationship of the organizations to the farmers' markets
that obtain incentive funds for SNAP clients;
[cir] Primary mission of the organizations and their history with
SNAP;
[cir] Source of the financial support for the organizations'
incentive program for SNAP clients, and whether other types of support
are offered;
[cir] Number of markets a specific organization supported in 2012;
[cir] Selection process and requirements for farmers' markets to be
awarded incentive dollars for distribution to SNAP clients;
[cir] Factors that make it difficult to implement and manage
incentive programs; and
[cir] Characteristics of successful incentive programs.
The telephone interview will also capture information on whether
the organizations maintain and/or collect information on the
performance of their incentive program. This self-evaluation data may
include information regarding the number of incentives redeemed by
markets with an incentive program, vendor satisfaction with the
program, and/or data used for assessing the impact of these programs on
farmers' market sales and SNAP participation at farmers' markets.
Collecting and evaluating self-evaluation data of
participating organizations. Organizations identified during the
telephone interviews as maintaining data on their incentive program for
SNAP clients will be asked to share this data for the purpose of this
research study. Self-evaluation data shared by organizations may
include for example, the number of other organizations or farmers'
markets that they awarded or are managing financial incentive programs
for, the volume of SNAP incentive redemptions, dollar amount of
unredeemed incentives, and other information. These data will help
identify differences across incentive programs with respect to
performance in 2012. In combination, the self-evaluation data,
organizational and incentive program characteristics obtained through
interviews, and ALERT data, will inform how such incentive programs for
SNAP clients may work best in the context of individual markets.
Affected Public: Respondent groups identified include individuals
working for organizations (Businesses for- and not for-profit. Note:
preliminary research suggests that all organizations in the sample will
be not for-profit businesses. However, the study leaves open the
possibility that some for-profit businesses will be part of the sample)
that provide or administer financial incentives at farmers' markets for
use with SNAP clients.
Estimated Number of Respondents: The total number of respondents is
225 individuals at 115 organizations. This includes up to 3 individuals
working for each of the 15 Type I and 40 Type II organizations, and 1
individual at each of the 45 Type III organizations. Out of the 225
individuals, it is estimated that 10 percent from each type of
organization, a total of 23 individual, invited to participate will
refuse (2.5 Type I, 8 Type II, and 4.5 Type III organizations). If a
selected organization refuses to participate, another similar
organization will be selected as a replacement.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: One time.
Estimated time per Response: For 110 individuals participating from
Type I and II organizations, and 45 individuals from Type III
organizations, the telephone interview will take 60 minutes (1 hour) to
complete. For 55 participating individuals (the Type I and II
organizational leaders), the telephone interview will take 20 minutes
(0.33 hours) to complete. It is estimated that 23 organizational
leaders (from 15 organizations) that refuse to participate will spend
approximately 15 minutes (0.25 hours) on the telephone. Further, of the
90 organizations that participate and complete the telephone
interviews, 80 organizations will agree to provide self-evaluation data
for their programs. To provide the data, it will take 120 minutes (2.0
hours) of a staff member's time (1 from each organization). For the 10
organizations that elect not to share their self-evaluation data, it
will take 30 minutes (0.50) hours of a staff member's time (1 from each
organization).
