Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program: State Issuance and
Participation Estimates—Forms FNS–
388 and FNS–388A.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0081.
Summary of Collection: Section 18(b)
of the Food Stamp Act of 1977, as
amended August 14, 1979 by Pubic Law
96–58, requires that ‘‘In any fiscal year,
the Secretary shall limit the value of
those allotments issued to an amount
not in excess of the appropriation for
such fiscal year.’’ Timely State monthly
issuance estimates are necessary for the
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to
ensure that it remains within the
appropriation and will have a direct
effect upon the manner in which
allotments would be reduced when
necessary. FNS uses the FNS–388 report
to obtain monthly statewide estimated
or actual issuance and participation data
for the current and previous months,
and the actual participation data for the
second preceding month. For the report
months of January and July, the
participation data must be categorized
as non-assistance (NA) and public
assistance (PA) and provided for each
project areas. This NA and PA
participation data is captured on the
FNS–388A.
Need and Use of the Information: The
FNS–388 and FNS–388A reports
provide the necessary data for an early
warning system to enable the
Department to fulfill the requirements of
Section 18(b) of the Food Stamp Act. In
addition, the data is used to (1) validate
the Annual Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) Household
Characteristic Survey; (2) to compile a
Statistical Summary Report which is
used for special studies and in response
to Congressional and other inquiries;
and (3) to compare against the
reconciliation points’ FNS–46 issuance
data (for electronic benefit transfer
(EBT), cash-out, and alternative
issuance) for indication of
accountability problems. FNS has also
used the project area data to determine
where to demonstrate pilot projects
such as a test of school-based SNAP
outreach initiatives.
