SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D–SNAP) . OMB Number: 0584–0336. Expiration Date: 09/30/2012. Type of Request: Extension of a previously approved collection. Abstract: Pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 100–707, and Section 5(h) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, 7 U.S.C. 2014(h), the Secretary of Agriculture has the authority to develop a Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D–SNAP) to address the temporary food needs of people following a disaster. The information collected under this notice is required from State agencies in order to receive approval from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to operate a D–SNAP. The number of disasters that occur annually and the average number of households affected by the disasters cannot be predicted. During the period from calendar year 2006 through calendar year 2011, the number of State requests for disaster programs ranged from 4 to 25 requests. These included Estimated number of respondents mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES OMB No. 0584–0336 affected public program modifications requested by some States to accommodate evacuees from disasters which did not directly affect the States themselves. The information collection under this reporting burden is limited to the burden experienced by State agencies in preparing their requests to operate D–SNAPs. The burden associated with the actual operation of D–SNAPs, including the processing of applications from households affected by disasters, is included under OMB information collection No. 0584–0064, titled ’’Food Stamp Forms: Applications, Periodic Reporting, Notices’’ (expiration date 03/ 31/2013), which includes all information collection activities associated with the certification of participating and applicant households. The D–SNAP participation and issuance form FNS–292–B, Report of Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Benefit Issuance, is covered under the OMB information collection No. 0584– 0037 (expiration date: 07/31/2014) and will not be reflected in this submission. FNS estimates that approximately 10 hours of State personnel time are required to prepare D–SNAP requests. The burden associated with preparing requests to operate a D–SNAP does not vary significantly from disaster to disaster and is relatively independent of the scope of the disaster. Major disasters require little additional document preparation time than relatively minor disasters. Based on an estimate of 14 State agency requests per year to operate D–SNAPs and 10 hours of State agency personnel time to prepare each application, FNS has calculated an estimated burden of 140 hours per year in an average year. No increase in burden was estimated under this collection. Summary of burden hours: Affected Public: State agencies and local governments. Estimated Number of Respondents: 14. Estimated Number of Responses: 14. Estimated Hours per Response: 10. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 140.
