Title: Operating Guidelines, Forms
and Waivers.
OMB Number: 0584–0083.
Forms: SNAP Waiver Request
Template.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2020.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 16(a) of the Food
and Nutrition Act of 2008 (the Act)
authorizes 50 percent Federal
reimbursement for State agency costs to
administer the program. 7 CFR 272.2(a)
of SNAP regulations states that State
agencies shall periodically plan and
budget program operations and establish
objectives for the next year. The basic
components of the State Plan of
Operation are the Federal/State
Agreement, the Budget Projection
Statement (FNS–366A) and the Program
Activity Statement (FNS–366B) (7 CFR
272.2(a)(2)). Under 7 CFR 272.2(c), the
State agency shall annually submit to
FNS for approval a Budget Projection
Statement which shall contain
projections for each quarter of the next
Federal Fiscal Year and a narrative
justification document explaining the
assumptions used to arrive at the
projections. The reporting burden [a
total of 3,876 burden hours and 267
total annual responses] for forms FNS–
366A, has 696 burden hours and 55 total

annual responses and FNS–366B has
3,180 total burden hours and 212 total
annual responses) was merged in the
burden for the Food Programs Reporting
System (OMB control number 0584–
0594, expiration date September 30,
2019, currently under review); therefore,
reporting hours associated with these
forms are not included in this notice.
However, recordkeeping requirements
for these forms remains in this OMB
Control Number. The State agency shall
also submit quarterly a Program Activity
Statement soliciting a summary of
Program activity for the State agency’s
operations during the preceding
reporting period. In addition, certain
attachments to the plan as specified in
subparagraphs (c) and (d) are to be
submitted. As specified in subparagraph
(f), State agencies only have to provide
FNS with changes to these attachments
as they occur. Consequently, these
attachments are considered State plan
updates. Under Section 11(o) of the Act,
each State agency is required to develop
and submit plans for the use of
automated data processing (ADP) and
information retrieval systems to
administer SNAP. Section 16(a) of the
Act authorizes partial Federal
reimbursement of State costs for State
ADP systems that the Secretary
determines will assist meeting the
requirements of the Act, meets
conditions prescribed by the Secretary,
are likely to provide more efficient and
effective administration of the program,
and are compatible with certain other
Federally-funded systems. Under 7 CFR
277.18(c)(1) of SNAP regulations, State
agencies must obtain prior written
approval from FNS when it plans to
enhance, replace, or acquire Information
System (IS) equipment with a total
acquisition cost of $6 million or more in
Federal and State funds. The State
agency must submit an Advance
Planning Document (APD) prior to
acquiring planning services and an
Implementation APD prior to acquiring
ADP equipment or services.
Additionally, State agencies
administering SNAP may submit formal
written requests, SNAP waiver requests,
to obtain approval from FNS to deviate
from a specific program rule or
regulation. Current procedures require
that in order for FNS to approve a SNAP
waiver request, the State agency must
submit the SNAP Waiver Request
template to FNS. Due to ongoing

technical complications, the SNAP
Workflow Information Management
(SWIM) system has been suspended
however, FNS may consider its use in
the future. This suspension does not
modify the currently approved burden
hours in any way and States will
continue to submit the SNAP Waiver
Requests electronically via email.
Burden Estimates: The burden within
this collection consists of reporting and
recordkeeping burden for the State Plan
of Operation Updates and APD Plans or
Updates; and only recordkeeping
burden for forms FNS–366A and FNS–
366B. The current burden is 1,095.76
hours (1,056.04 reporting hours and
39.72 recordkeeping hours. The
calculation of the burden for each of
these components is described below:
resulting in estimated burden hours of
348.74 (53 × 6.58 = 348.74).
APD Plans or Updates. We estimate
that up to 53 State agencies may submit
on an average of 4 APD, plan, or update
submission for a total of 212 annual
responses at an average estimate of 2.5

burden is 530 hours.
SNAP Waiver Requests. FNS
estimates that out of 53 State agencies
45 State will submit 3.94 of the three
identified waivers annually for a total
number of 177.3 Waivers annually.
Completion and submission of these

OMB Number: 0584-0083.
Forms: SNAP Waiver Request Template.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2020.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 16(a) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (the
Act) authorizes 50 percent Federal reimbursement for State agency costs
to administer the program. 7 CFR 272.2(a) of SNAP regulations states
that State agencies shall periodically plan and budget program
operations and establish objectives for the next year. The basic
components of the State Plan of Operation are the Federal/State
Agreement, the Budget Projection Statement (FNS-366A) and the Program
Activity Statement (FNS-366B) (7 CFR 272.2(a)(2)). Under 7 CFR
272.2(c), the State agency shall annually submit to FNS for approval a
Budget Projection Statement which shall contain projections for each
quarter of the next Federal Fiscal Year and a narrative justification
document explaining the assumptions used to arrive at the projections.
The reporting burden [a total of 3,876 burden hours and 267 total
annual responses] for forms FNS-366A, has 696 burden hours and 55 total
annual responses and FNS-366B has 3,180 total burden hours and 212
total annual responses) was merged in the burden for the Food Programs
Reporting System (OMB control number 0584-0594, expiration date
September 30, 2019, currently under review); therefore, reporting hours
associated with these forms are not included in this notice. However,
recordkeeping requirements for these forms remains in this OMB Control
Number. The State agency shall also submit quarterly a Program Activity
Statement soliciting a summary of Program activity for the State
agency's operations during the preceding reporting period. In addition,
certain attachments to the plan as specified in subparagraphs (c) and
(d) are to be submitted. As specified in subparagraph (f), State
agencies only have to provide FNS with changes to these attachments as
they occur. Consequently, these attachments are considered State plan
updates. Under Section 11(o) of the Act, each State agency is required
to develop and submit plans for the use of automated data processing
(ADP) and information retrieval systems to administer SNAP. Section
16(a) of the Act authorizes partial Federal reimbursement of State
costs for State ADP systems that the Secretary determines will assist
meeting the requirements of the Act, meets conditions prescribed by the
Secretary, are likely to provide more efficient and effective
administration of the program, and are compatible with certain other
Federally-funded systems. Under 7 CFR 277.18(c)(1) of SNAP regulations,
State agencies must obtain prior written approval from FNS when it
plans to enhance, replace, or acquire Information System (IS) equipment
with a total acquisition cost of $6 million or more in Federal and
State funds. The State agency must submit an Advance Planning Document
(APD) prior to acquiring planning services and an Implementation APD
prior to acquiring ADP equipment or services. Additionally, State
agencies administering SNAP may submit formal written requests, SNAP
waiver requests, to obtain approval from FNS to deviate from a specific
program rule or regulation. Current procedures require that in order
for FNS to approve a SNAP waiver request, the State agency must submit
the SNAP Waiver Request template to FNS. Due to ongoing
[[Page 65966]]
technical complications, the SNAP Workflow Information Management
(SWIM) system has been suspended however, FNS may consider its use in
the future. This suspension does not modify the currently approved
burden hours in any way and States will continue to submit the SNAP
Waiver Requests electronically via email.
Burden Estimates: The burden within this collection consists of
reporting and recordkeeping burden for the State Plan of Operation
Updates and APD Plans or Updates; and only recordkeeping burden for
forms FNS-366A and FNS-366B. The current burden is 1,095.76 hours
(1,056.04 reporting hours and 39.72 recordkeeping hours. The
calculation of the burden for each of these components is described
below:
Reporting
Reporting Burden Estimates: Affected Public: State, Local and
Tribal Government Agencies.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 53.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 8.35.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 442.3.
Estimated Reporting Time per Response: 2.3876.
Estimated Annual Reporting Burden Hours: 1,056.04.
State Plan of Operation Updates. 53 State agencies submit one 1
response annually for a total of 53 annual responses. The reporting
burden for submission of updates to State Plans of Operation is 6.58
hours per respondent, resulting in estimated burden hours of 348.74 (53
x 6.58 = 348.74).
APD Plans or Updates. We estimate that up to 53 State agencies may
submit on an average of 4 APD, plan, or update submission for a total
of 212 annual responses at an average estimate of 2.5 hours per
respondent. The reporting burden is 530 hours.
SNAP Waiver Requests. FNS estimates that out of 53 State agencies
45 State will submit 3.94 of the three identified waivers annually for
a total number of 177.3 Waivers annually. Completion and submission of
these waivers take approximately 1 hour for a total of 177.3 burden
hours annually.
