Title: Assessment of the Collection,
Analysis, Validation, and Reporting of
SNAP Employment and Training Data
project.
Form Number: None.
OMB Number: 0584–NEW.
Expiration Date: Not yet determined.
Type of Request: New collection.
Abstract: 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.
Under the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP), States are
required to operate an Employment and
Training (E&T) program to help
participants gain skills, education,
training, and experience that lead to
employment and greater economic selfsufficiency. The U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS) uses several methods to collect
information on State SNAP E&T
programs: annual State SNAP E&T
plans, quarterly FNS–583 SNAP E&T
Program Activity Report data forms
(OMB 0584–0594, currently undergoing
review), and annual outcome reporting
measures. FNS has found that reported
data are often inconsistent, incomplete,
and inaccurate. This makes it
challenging for FNS to analyze these
data to determine the outcomes of SNAP
E&T participants and to assist States in
improving their programs.
FNS will: (1) Identify and describe the
current State and Federal systems that
collect, validate, and analyze E&T data;
(2) assess the current and future E&T
data needs of Federal, Regional, and
State staff; and (3) recommend a plan to
improve how Federal, Regional, and
State staff collect and use data for E&T
program improvement and reporting.
The assessment will include two main
data collection activities: (1) 10 inperson meetings with a range of staff
from Federal agencies 1 to better
understand the systems for collecting
and analyzing SNAP E&T data, assess
the current and future data needs of
SNAP E&T stakeholders, and identify
options to improve the collection and
analysis of data; and (2) site visits in
seven States to observe their SNAP E&T
business, data collection, and analysis
1 Discussions with Federal agencies do not
require OMB clearance and are therefore not
included in the burden estimates in this notice.

processes, and to assess the current and
future data needs from the perspective
of a range of State and local staff,
including local organizations that
provide E&T activities.
The data collection effort will
culminate in a comprehensive final
report of recommendations for FNS to
meet its current and future data needs
for the SNAP E&T program. The report
will describe the current Federal,
Regional, and State data systems and
processes; the current and future data
needs and goals of SNAP E&T; and the
gaps between the current systems and
data needs. In addition, the report will
recommend methods to address these
gaps through changes to data systems
and information technology (IT)
solutions, improved business processes,
and expanded technical assistance.
Affected Public: FNS will reach out to
eight State agencies, and anticipates that
seven of these State agenices will agree
to participate in the study.
Approximately, 284 respondents within
these seven States will be contacted to
participate in the data collection. Of
these 284 respondents, FNS anticipates
251 will agree to participate. Members
of the public affected by the data
collection include State, Local and
Tribal governments and the private
sector (Business-for-profit and not-forprofit). Respondent groups identified
include the following:
• Directors and managers from State,
Local, and Tribal government agencies
supporting the SNAP E&T programs (35;
32 respondents and 3 non-respondents).
• Policy staff from State, Local, and
Tribal government agencies supporting
the SNAP E&T programs (28; 26
respondents and 2 non-respondents).
• Frontline staff from State, Local,

supporting the E&T programs (28; 26
respondents and 2 non-respondents).
• Directors and managers from
private sector for-profit businesses
providing SNAP E&T services (21; 18
repondents and 3 non-respondents).

The trout survey includes inventory
counts, sales (dollars, pounds, and
quantities), percent of product sold by
outlet at the point of first sale, number
of fish raised for release into open
waters, and losses. The catfish surveys
include inventory counts, water surface
acreage used for production, sales
(dollars, pounds, and quantities), and
losses.

New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
Mexico, New York, North Carolina,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah,
Virginia, Washington, West Virginia,
Wisconsin, and Wyoming) are in the
Trout Production Survey. In January,
data are collected in the selected states
that produce and either sell or distribute
trout. State, federal, tribal, and other
facilities where trout are raised for
conservation, restoration, or recreational
purposes are included in the survey.
• Nine states (Alabama, Arkansas,
California, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina,
and Texas) are in the Catfish Production
Survey. Data are collected from farmers
in January for inventory, water surface
acreage, and previous year sales. In
addition, farmers in the three major
catfish producing states are surveyed in
July for mid-year inventory and water
surface acreage.

Title: Assessment of the Collection, Analysis, Validation, and
Reporting of SNAP Employment and Training Data project.
Form Number: None.
OMB Number: 0584-NEW.
Expiration Date: Not yet determined.
Type of Request: New collection.
Abstract: 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.
Under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), States
are required to operate an Employment and Training (E&T) program to
help participants gain skills, education, training, and experience that
lead to employment and greater economic self-sufficiency. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) uses
several methods to collect information on State SNAP E&T programs:
annual State SNAP E&T plans, quarterly FNS-583 SNAP E&T Program
Activity Report data forms (OMB 0584-0594, currently undergoing
review), and annual outcome reporting measures. FNS has found that
reported data are often inconsistent, incomplete, and inaccurate. This
makes it challenging for FNS to analyze these data to determine the
outcomes of SNAP E&T participants and to assist States in improving
their programs.
FNS will: (1) Identify and describe the current State and Federal
systems that collect, validate, and analyze E&T data; (2) assess the
current and future E&T data needs of Federal, Regional, and State
staff; and (3) recommend a plan to improve how Federal, Regional, and
State staff collect and use data for E&T program improvement and
reporting. The assessment will include two main data collection
activities: (1) 10 in-person meetings with a range of staff from
Federal agencies \1\ to better understand the systems for collecting
and analyzing SNAP E&T data, assess the current and future data needs
of SNAP E&T stakeholders, and identify options to improve the
collection and analysis of data; and (2) site visits in seven States to
observe their SNAP E&T business, data collection, and analysis
processes, and to assess the current and future data needs from the
perspective of a range of State and local staff, including local
organizations that provide E&T activities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Discussions with Federal agencies do not require OMB
clearance and are therefore not included in the burden estimates in
this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The data collection effort will culminate in a comprehensive final
report of recommendations for FNS to meet its current and future data
needs for the SNAP E&T program. The report will describe the current
Federal, Regional, and State data systems and processes; the current
and future data needs and goals of SNAP E&T; and the gaps between the
current systems and data needs. In addition, the report will recommend
methods to address these gaps through changes to data systems and
information technology (IT) solutions, improved business processes, and
expanded technical assistance.
Affected Public: FNS will reach out to eight State agencies, and
