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

and (3) to compare against the
reconciliation points’ FNS–46 issuance
data (for electronic benefit transfer

outreach initiatives.
