DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Agricultural Marketing Service Title: Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act of 1999. OMB Control Number: 0581–0186. Summary of Collection: The Livestock Mandatory Reporting (LMR) Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106–78; 7 U.S.C. 1635–1636h) mandates the reporting of information on prices and quantities of livestock and livestock products. The 1999 Act was established to provide timely, accurate, and reliable market information on the marketing of cattle, swine, lambs, and related products. Under this program, certain livestock packers, livestock product processors and importers meeting certain criteria, including size as measured by annual slaughter are required to report market information to the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS). On September 30, 2015, the Agriculture Reauthorizations Act of 2015 (2015 Reauthorization Act) reauthorized LMR for an additional five years, until September 30, 2020. The information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of AMS. USDA’s market news provides all market participants, including producers, with the information necessary to make intelligent and informed marketing decisions. Need and Use of the Information: The information collected and recordkeeping requirements will serve as the basis for livestock and livestock product market news reports utilized by the industry for marketing purposes. The reports are used by other Government agencies to evaluate market conditions and calculate price levels. Economists at major agricultural colleges and universities use the reports to make short and long-term market projections. The information is reported up to three times daily and once weekly and is only available directly from those entities required to report under the Act.

Title: The Role of Job Search as a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training (E&T) Component. Form Number: N/A. OMB Number: 0584–NEW. Expiration Date: Not Yet Determined. Type of Request: New Information Collection Request. Abstract: Section 17 [7 U.S.C. 2026] (a)(1) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended, provides general legislative authority for the planned data collection. It authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to enter into contracts with private institutions to undertake research that will help to improve the administration and effectiveness of SNAP in delivering nutrition-related benefits. USDA FNS has funded The Role of Job Search as a SNAP E&T Component to better understand the overall role of job search activities in serving SNAP E&T participants and to determine which job search activities are most effective in leading SNAP participants to self-sufficiency. Although all States must operate a SNAP E&T program, they have flexibility in its design. For example, States may choose one or more of several SNAP E&T components, such as job search, on-the-job training, workfare, or vocational training, to offer to SNAP E&T participants. Of the possible activities, States most commonly report offering job search and VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:45 Apr 05, 2019 Jkt 247001 job search training. Although studies suggest stand-alone job search activities do not lead to long-term self-sufficiency, little is known about their effect on SNAP participants specifically. There is a lack of evidence about how States integrate job search activities with other SNAP E&T components, such as education or workfare, particularly within the SNAP E&T context, and if it is an effective strategy when they do. To address these issues, FNS is conducting a study to accomplish 3 objectives: 1. Document and describe job search activities offered and State-level E&T policies and requirements. 2. Conduct a process evaluation documenting implementation and operation of job search activities in the study States. 3. Conduct an outcome evaluation to assess short- and long-term effects of job search activities on participants. FNS pre-selected and is recruiting for in-depth case studies 4 States representing a range of SNAP E&T job search activities. No other States will be included in the study. The study will gather data through site visits to the 4 States and phone interviews with up to 200 total current and former SNAP E&T job search participants (individuals/ households) in the study States. The study will also gather SNAP administrative caseload data and Unemployment Insurance (UI) quarterly wage data from the 4 study States. Data will be collected in each of the 4 study States through (1) interviews with the State SNAP director and E&T manager; (2) in-person interviews with staff, process-mapping group discussions with staff, and observations at 2 Local SNAP offices; and (3) in-person staff interviews and observations at 2 Local E&T providers (Business-for-not-forprofit). These data will provide information on overall State policies, the E&T process and client flow through the process, and staff perspectives on the effects of job search on participant outcomes. Phone interviews with up to 50 current and former SNAP E&T job search participants in each of the 4 study States will provide client perspectives on E&T activities and outcomes. SNAP administrative caseload data will be used to examine the characteristics of E&T participants in each State and will be linked with the UI wage data to assess short- and longterm outcomes associated with SNAP E&T job search participation. Affected Public: (1) State, Local and Tribal Governments; (2) Business-fornot-for-Profit; and (3) Individuals/ Households.

    Title: The Role of Job Search as a Supplemental Nutrition 
Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training (E&T) Component.
    Form Number: N/A.
    OMB Number: 0584-NEW.
    Expiration Date: Not Yet Determined.
    Type of Request: New Information Collection Request.
    Abstract: Section 17 [7 U.S.C. 2026] (a)(1) of the Food and 
Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended, provides general legislative 
authority for the planned data collection. It authorizes the Secretary 
of Agriculture to enter into contracts with private institutions to 
undertake research that will help to improve the administration and 
effectiveness of SNAP in delivering nutrition-related benefits.
    USDA FNS has funded The Role of Job Search as a SNAP E&T Component 
to better understand the overall role of job search activities in 
serving SNAP E&T participants and to determine which job search 
activities are most effective in leading SNAP participants to self-
sufficiency. Although all States must operate a SNAP E&T program, they 
have flexibility in its design. For example, States may choose one or 
more of several SNAP E&T components, such as job search, on-the-job 
training, workfare, or vocational training, to offer to SNAP E&T 
participants. Of the possible activities, States most commonly report 
offering job search and job search training. Although studies suggest 
stand-alone job search activities do not lead to long-term self-
sufficiency, little is known about their effect on SNAP participants 
specifically. There is a lack of evidence about how States integrate 
job search activities with other SNAP E&T components, such as education 
or workfare, particularly within the SNAP E&T context, and if it is an 
effective strategy when they do.
    To address these issues, FNS is conducting a study to accomplish 3 
objectives:
    1. Document and describe job search activities offered and State-
level E&T policies and requirements.
    2. Conduct a process evaluation documenting implementation and 
operation of job search activities in the study States.
    3. Conduct an outcome evaluation to assess short- and long-term 
effects of job search activities on participants.
    FNS pre-selected and is recruiting for in-depth case studies 4 
States representing a range of SNAP E&T job search activities. No other 
States will be included in the study. The study will gather data 
through site visits to the 4 States and phone interviews with up to 200 
total current and former SNAP E&T job search participants (individuals/
households) in the study States. The study will also gather SNAP 
administrative caseload data and Unemployment Insurance (UI) quarterly 
wage data from the 4 study States. Data will be collected in each of 
the 4 study States through (1) interviews with the State SNAP director 
and E&T manager; (2) in-person interviews with staff, process-mapping 
group discussions with staff, and observations at 2 Local SNAP offices; 
and (3) in-person staff interviews and observations at 2 Local E&T 
providers (Business-for-not-for-profit). These data will provide 
information on overall State policies, the E&T process and client flow 
through the process, and staff perspectives on the effects of job 
search on participant outcomes. Phone interviews with up to 50 current 
and former SNAP E&T job search participants in each of the 4 study 
States will provide client perspectives on E&T activities and outcomes. 
SNAP administrative caseload data will be used to examine the 
characteristics of E&T participants in each State and will be linked 
with the UI wage data to assess short- and long-term outcomes 
associated with SNAP E&T job search participation.
    Affected Public: (1) State, Local and Tribal Governments; (2) 
Business-for-not-for-Profit; and (3) Individuals/Households.
    Respondent groups identified include the following:

    1. State, Local, and Tribal Government: State SNAP directors, State 
E&T managers, State SNAP database administrators, State UI database 
administrators, and State UI Agency liaisons in each of the 4 study
