Summary of Collection: Section 4011
of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (Pub. L.

This study seeks to understand the
business practices of TPPs and ISOs that
provide EBT processing services and
equipment to SNAP retailers to (1)
assess retailers’ satisfaction with EBT
products and services needed to
participate in the SNAP program; and
(2) develop a set of best practices to
inform FNS’s guidance for retailers on
what to consider when selecting,
contracting with, and working with EBT
vendors (TPPs and ISOs). The study
results will also provide FNS with the
information needed to inform future
FNS policies regarding requirements for
vendors providing EBT equipment and
services to authorized retailers and TPP
services-related guidance for retailers.
