Food and Nutrition Service
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program: State Issuance and
Participation Estimates—Forms FNS388 and FNS–388A.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0081.
Summary of Collection: Section 18(b)
of Food and Nutrition Act, (the Act) 7
U.S.C. 2027(b), limits the value of
allotments paid to SNAP households to
an amount not in excess of the
appropriation for the 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 if
necessary. While benefit reductions
have never been ordered in the past
under Section 18(b) nor are they
anticipated based on current data, the
Department must continue to monitor
actual program costs against the
appropriation.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS
uses the FNS–388 report to obtain
monthly estimated or actual issuance
and participation data for the current
and previous months. The FNS–388 is
being updated to include separate
reporting of Disaster SNAP benefit
issuance and participation data which
will improve data accountability and
ensure data is available on a monthly
basis for timely response to Federal,
State and other inquiries. In addition,
State agencies are required to submit a
project area breakdown on the FNS–388,
of issuance and participation data twice
a year. The project area breakdown
attached to the FNS–388, twice a year is
known as the FNS–388A. This data is
useful in identifying project areas that
operate fraud detection units in
accordance with the Act.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Reporting: Monthly;
semi-annually.
Total Burden Hours: 5,187.
