testing at ports of entry to be warranted
and consider the mitigations in the RMD
to be sufficient for the reasons set forth
in the RMD.
We have concluded that fresh carrots
can be safely imported from the
Republic of Korea into the United States
using one or more of the five designated
phytosanitary measures listed in
§ 319.56–4(b). The NPPO of the
Republic of Korea must enter into an
operational work plan with APHIS that
spells out the daily procedures the
NPPO will take to implement the
measures identified in the RMD.
Therefore, in accordance with
§ 319.56–4(c)(3)(iii), we are announcing
our decision to authorize the
importation of carrots from the Republic
of Korea to the United States subject to
the following phytosanitary measures
summarized below:
• Carrots must be commercially
produced and may be imported in
commercial consignments only.
• Carrots must be grown in places of
production registered and packed in
packinghouses registered by the NPPO
of the Republic of Korea as part of an
export program to the United States.
• The NPPO of the Republic of Korea
must review and maintain all forms and
documents related to export program
activities in registered places of
production and packinghouses for at
least 1 year and make them available to
APHIS upon request.
• If the NPPO of the Republic of
Korea finds that a place of production
or packinghouse is not complying with
the requirements of the systems
approach, no carrot from the place of
production or packinghouse will be
eligible for export to the United States
until APHIS and the NPPO of the
Republic of Korea conduct an
investigation and appropriate remedial
actions have been implemented.
• Carrots must originate from a place
of production that was inspected for
signs of fungi of quarantine concern
prior to harvest and found free of
disease symptoms or must be treated
with a broad-spectrum fungicide during
the growing season, inspected prior to
harvest, and found free of fungi of
quarantine concern.
• Carrot taproots must be washed and
disinfected, and free of soil and green
tops.
• A biometric sample of carrot
taproots (jointly agreed upon by APHIS
and the NPPO) must be inspected in the
Republic of Korea by the NPPO of the
Republic of Korea following any postharvest processing. The biometric
sample must be visually inspected for
the quarantine pests Helicobasidium
mompa and Sclerotinia nivalis. If any

quarantine fungi are found, the entire
lot of carrots is prohibited from import
into the United States. APHIS may
prohibit the importation into the United
States of carrots from the places of
production for the season.
• Each consignment of carrots must
be accompanied by a phytosanitary
certificate issued by the NPPO of the
Republic of Korea with an additional
declaration (AD) stating that the
consignment was produced and
prepared for export in accordance with
the operational workplan and inspected
and found free of pests of quarantine
concern.
• Carrots are subject to inspection at
the port of entry into the United States.
• Carrots presented for inspection at
the port of entry to the United States
must be identified to specify the place
of production in which the carrots were
produced, and the packinghouse(s), in
which the carrots were processed and
packed. This identification must be
maintained until the carrots are released
from the port of first arrival into the
United States.
These conditions will be listed in the
Fruits and Vegetables Import
Requirements database (available at
https://epermits.aphis.usda.gov/
manual). In addition to these specific
measures, fresh carrots from the
Republic of Korea will be subject to the
general requirements listed in § 319.56–
3 that are applicable to the importation
of all fruits and vegetables.

Title: Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program Forms:
Applications, Periodic Reporting, and
Notices.
Form Number: None.
OMB Number: 0584–0064.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2020.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The information collection
addresses the burden estimates
associated with applications, which are
designed at the State level; periodic
reporting; and notices sent to SNAP
participants or applicants (Individuals/
Households). Following Federal
requirements, State agencies are
responsible for determining the
eligibility of SNAP applicant
individuals or the entire household, and
issuing benefits to those households
entitled to benefits under the Food and
Nutrition Act of 2008 (the Act), as
amended. State agencies obtain
demographics such as: Names, social
security numbers, and date of births of
all household members; addresses; and
individual or household income
information from households through
the initial application and
recertification processes as well as
through various reports to determine
program eligibility and benefit levels.
SNAP notices sent to individual or
household addresses are the primary
method State agencies communicate
with SNAP applicants and current
participants. This information must be
collected from households to ensure
that they are eligible for the program
and that they receive the correct amount
of SNAP benefits. The Federal
procedures for implementing the
application and certification procedures
in the Act are in Parts 271, 272, and 273
of the Title 7 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). Part 271 contains
general information and definitions,
Part 272 contains requirements for
participating State agencies, and Part
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:21 Jun 04, 2020
Jkt 250001
273 contains procedures for the
certification of eligible households.
In the process of renewing this
information collection with changes,
FNS modified the burden of some of its
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements to reflect current SNAP
caseload levels and to better account for
the complexity of certain activities
applicable to State agencies, Local
agencies, and Individuals/Households.
In addition, FNS included burden for a
set of existing requirements applicable
to State agencies and Individuals/
Households that were not delineated in
previous burden tables. The burden for
this set of requirements, listed below,
was combined with the burden of the
requirements in the current approval
and thus, represent an increase in total
annual responses and total annual
burden hours for 53 State agencies,
2,724 Local agencies and 19,699,000
Individuals/Households.
1. Failure to Report Shelter Costs
Change Due to Move Notice (7 CFR
273.14(b)): Under this requirement, 53
State agencies will each send, on
average, 9,678.98 notifications to
households who have changed their
address and have not provided updated
information about their shelter costs
that their allotment will be recalculated
without any new deductions. Thus, the
information collection activities
associated with this requirement result
in 512,986 responses for State agencies.
FNS estimates that it takes States
approximately 2 minutes (0.0334 hours)
per response, resulting in 17,133.73
burden hours. This adjustment to the
burden reflects an increase of 512,986
total annual responses and 17,133.73
total annual burden hours for States
agencies. FNS also estimates that
512,986 households will each read one
notification. Thus, the information
collection activities associated with this
requirement result in 512,986 responses
for households. FNS estimates that it
takes households approximately 1
minute (0.0167 hours) per response,
resulting in 8,566.87 burden hours. This
adjustment to the burden reflects an
increase of 512,986 total annual
responses and 8,566.87 total annual
burden hours for households.
2. Report of ABAWDs Change in Work
Hours below 20 Hours per Week (7 CFR
273.24(b)(7)): Under this requirement,
53 State agencies will each review, on
average, 14,049.81 reports from SNAP
participating households when any
eligible member has had a reduction in
work hours below an average of 20

total annual burden hours for
households.
3. Notice of Option to Disqualify
Custodial Parent for Failure to
Cooperate (7 CFR 273.11(o)(2)): Under
this requirement, 53 State agencies will
each send, on average, 6,173.40

approved number of responses and
burden hours for this requirement are
22,087,011.18 and 737,706.17,
respectively. This adjustment to the
burden reflects a decrease of
2,702,202.18 total annual responses and
an increase of 233,472.76 total annual
burden hours for States agencies. FNS
also estimates that 15,507,847
households will each read one notice.
Thus, the information collection
activities associated with this
requirement result in 15,507,847
responses for households. FNS
estimates that it takes households
approximately 5 minutes (0.0835 hours)
per response, resulting in 1,294,905.22
burden hours. This adjustment to the
burden reflects an increase of
15,507,847 total annual responses and
1,294,905.22 total annual burden hours
for households.
FNS made the above adjustments to
more accurately reflect the burden
associated with the information
collection requirements at 7 CFR parts
271, 272, and 273.

Considering all burden adjustments
made as part of this renewal (e.g.,
modification of hourly burden
estimates, inclusion of burden for
existing requirements not delineated in
previous burden tables), FNS is
requesting an overall burden of
937,793,284.93, rounded to 937,793,285,
total annual responses and
112,543,753.58, rounded to 112,543,754,

burden estimates include
772,614,488.93 total annual responses
and 108,220,423.43 total annual burden
hours for reporting by State agencies
and Individuals/Households. The
estimates also include 165,178,796.00
total annual responses and 4,323,340.14
total annual burden hours for
recordkeeping by Local agencies. A

Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Forms:
Applications, Periodic Reporting, and Notices.
Form Number: None.
OMB Number: 0584-0064.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2020.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The information collection addresses the burden estimates
associated with applications, which are designed at the State level;
periodic reporting; and notices sent to SNAP participants or applicants
(Individuals/Households). Following Federal requirements, State
agencies are responsible for determining the eligibility of SNAP
applicant individuals or the entire household, and issuing benefits to
those households entitled to benefits under the Food and Nutrition Act
of 2008 (the Act), as amended. State agencies obtain demographics such
as: Names, social security numbers, and date of births of all household
members; addresses; and individual or household income information from
households through the initial application and recertification
processes as well as through various reports to determine program
eligibility and benefit levels. SNAP notices sent to individual or
household addresses are the primary method State agencies communicate
with SNAP applicants and current participants. This information must be
collected from households to ensure that they are eligible for the
program and that they receive the correct amount of SNAP benefits. The
Federal procedures for implementing the application and certification
procedures in the Act are in Parts 271, 272, and 273 of the Title 7 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Part 271 contains general
information and definitions, Part 272 contains requirements for
participating State agencies, and Part 273 contains procedures for the
certification of eligible households.
In the process of renewing this information collection with
changes, FNS modified the burden of some of its reporting and
recordkeeping requirements to reflect current SNAP caseload levels and
to better account for the complexity of certain activities applicable
to State agencies, Local agencies, and Individuals/Households. In
addition, FNS included burden for a set of existing requirements
applicable to State agencies and Individuals/Households that were not
delineated in previous burden tables. The burden for this set of
requirements, listed below, was combined with the burden of the
requirements in the current approval and thus, represent an increase in
total annual responses and total annual burden hours for 53 State
agencies, 2,724 Local agencies and 19,699,000 Individuals/Households.
1. Failure to Report Shelter Costs Change Due to Move Notice (7 CFR
273.14(b)): Under this requirement, 53 State agencies will each send,
on average, 9,678.98 notifications to households who have changed their
address and have not provided updated information about their shelter
costs that their allotment will be recalculated without any new
deductions. Thus, the information collection activities associated with
this requirement result in 512,986 responses for State agencies. FNS
estimates that it takes States approximately 2 minutes (0.0334 hours)
per response, resulting in 17,133.73 burden hours. This adjustment to
the burden reflects an increase of 512,986 total annual responses and
17,133.73 total annual burden hours for States agencies. FNS also
estimates that 512,986 households will each read one notification.
Thus, the information collection activities associated with this
requirement result in 512,986 responses for households. FNS estimates
that it takes households approximately 1 minute (0.0167 hours) per
response, resulting in 8,566.87 burden hours. This adjustment to the
burden reflects an increase of 512,986 total annual responses and
8,566.87 total annual burden hours for households.
2. Report of ABAWDs Change in Work Hours below 20 Hours per Week (7
CFR 273.24(b)(7)): Under this requirement, 53 State agencies will each
review, on average, 14,049.81 reports from SNAP participating
households when any eligible member has had a reduction in work hours
below an average of 20 hours per week, averaged monthly. Thus, the
information collection activities associated with this requirement
result in 744,640 responses for State agencies. FNS estimates that it
takes States approximately 11 minutes (0.1837 hours) per response,
resulting in 136,790.37 burden hours. This adjustment to the burden
reflects an increase of 744,640 total annual responses and 136,790.37
total annual burden hours for States agencies. FNS also estimates that
744,640 households will each submit one report. Thus, the information
collection activities associated with this requirement result in
744,640 responses for households. FNS estimates that it takes
households approximately 10 minutes (0.167 hours) per response,
resulting in 124,354.88 burden hours. This adjustment to the burden
reflects an increase of 744,640 total annual responses and 124,354.88
total annual burden hours for households.
3. Notice of Option to Disqualify Custodial Parent for Failure to
Cooperate (7 CFR 273.11(o)(2)): Under this requirement, 53 State
agencies will each send, on average, 6,173.40 notifications to inform
custodial parents of a right to good cause for non-cooperation prior to
a State agency requiring cooperation from a parent. Thus, the
information collection activities associated with this requirement
result in 327,190 responses for State agencies. FNS estimates that it
takes States approximately 3 minutes (0.0501 hours) per response,
resulting in 16,392.22 burden hours. This adjustment to the burden
reflects an increase of 327,190 total annual responses and 16,392.22
total annual burden hours for States agencies. FNS also estimates that
327,190 custodial parents (individual or household) will each read one
notification. Thus, the information collection activities associated
with this requirement result in 327,190 responses for households. FNS
estimates that it takes households approximately 5 minutes (0.0835
hours) per response, resulting in 27,320.37 burden hours. This
adjustment to the burden reflects an increase of 327,190 total annual
responses and 27,320.37 total annual burden hours for households.
4. Notice of Match Results (7 CFR 273.12(c)(3)(iii)): Under this
requirement, 53 State agencies will each distribute, on average,
9,044.23 notices of match results to households for which the State
agency receives match information related to a Prison Verification
System notification or a deceased individual. Thus, the information
collection activities associated with this requirement result in
479,344 responses for State agencies. FNS estimates that it takes
States approximately 3 minutes (0.0501 hours)
[[Page 34594]]
per response, resulting in 24,015.13 burden hours. This adjustment to
the burden reflects an increase of 479,344 total annual responses and
24,015.13 total annual burden hours for States agencies. FNS also
estimates that 383,475 households will each read one notification.
Thus, the information collection activities associated with this
requirement result in 383,475 responses for households. FNS estimates
that it takes households approximately 5 minutes (0.0835 hours) per
response, resulting in 32,020.16 burden hours. This adjustment to the
burden reflects an increase of 383,475 total annual responses and
32,020.16 total annual burden hours for households.
5. Notice of Subject to Work Requirements (7 CFR 273.7(c)(1)):
Under this requirement, 53 State agencies will each provide, on
average, 98,566.04 written statements to eligible household members
under the work provision requirements of 7 CFR 273.7 explaining work
requirements, the rights and responsibilities of eligible members, and
the consequences for failing to comply. Thus, the information
collection activities associated with this requirement result in
5,224,000 responses for State agencies. FNS estimates that it takes
States approximately 3 minutes (0.0501 hours) per response, resulting
in 261,722.40 burden hours. This adjustment to the burden reflects an
increase of 5,224,000 total annual responses and 261,722.40 total
annual burden hours for States agencies. FNS also estimates that
4,179,200 household members will each read one written statement. Thus,
the information collection activities associated with this requirement
result in 4,179,200 responses for households. FNS estimates that it
takes households approximately 5 minutes (0.0835 hours) per response,
resulting in 348,963.20 burden hours. This adjustment to the burden
reflects an increase of 4,179,200 total annual responses and 348,963.20
total annual burden hours for households.
6. Referral to Employment & Training and Notice of Requirements (7
CFR 273.7(c)(2)): Under this requirement, State agencies must screen
each work registrant to determine whether it is appropriate to refer
the individual to an E&T program. Fifty-three (53) State agencies will
each issue, on average, 2,424.43 notices to participants of the
requirements of the E&T program component, what will constitute non-
compliance, and the sanctions for non-compliance. Thus, the information
collection activities associated with this requirement result in
128,495 responses for State agencies. FNS estimates that it takes
States approximately 3 minutes (0.0501 hours) per response, resulting
in 6,437.60 burden hours. This adjustment to the burden reflects an
increase of 128,495 total annual responses and 6,437.60 total annual
burden hours for States agencies. FNS also estimates that 102,796
households will each read one notice. Thus, the information collection
activities associated with this requirement result in 102,796 responses
for households. FNS estimates that it takes households approximately 5
minutes (0.0835 hours) per response, resulting in 8,583.47 burden
hours. This adjustment to the burden reflects an increase of 102,796
total annual responses and 8,583.47 total annual burden hours for
households.
7. Notice of Required Verification (7 CFR 273.2(c)(5)): Under this
requirement, 53 State agencies will each provide, on average,
617,338.72 notices to households with all verification requirements the
household must meet at the time of application for certification and
recertification. Thus, the information collection activities associated
with this requirement result in 32,718,952 responses for State
agencies. FNS estimates that it takes States approximately 3 minutes
(0.0501 hours) per response, resulting in 1,639,219.50 burden hours.
This adjustment to the burden reflects an increase of 32,718,952 total
annual responses and 1,639,219.50 total annual burden hours for States
agencies. FNS also estimates that 26,175,162 households will each read
one notice. Thus, the information collection activities associated with
this requirement result in 26,175,162 responses for households. FNS
estimates that it takes households approximately 5 minutes (0.0835
hours) per response, resulting in 2,185,626.03 burden hours. This
adjustment to the burden reflects an increase of 26,175,162 total
annual responses and 2,185,626.03 total annual burden hours for
households.
8. Fleeing Felon and Probation or Parole Violators Determination (7
CFR 273.11(n)(3)-(4)): Under this requirement, 53 State agencies will
each send, on average, 12,346.77 requests for information to a law
enforcement agency about the conditions of a felony warrant or a
probation or parole violation for a SNAP participant, and verify if a
law enforcement agency has taken any action following the initial
request for information. Thus, the information collection activities
associated with this requirement result in 654,379 responses for State
agencies. FNS estimates that it takes States approximately 3 minutes
(0.0501 hours) per response, resulting in 32,784.39 burden hours. This
adjustment to the burden reflects an increase of 654,379 total annual
responses and 32,784.39 total annual burden hours for States agencies.
FNS also estimates that 654,379 households will each read one notice.
Thus, the information collection activities associated with this

burden reflects an increase of 654,379 total annual responses and
32,784.39 total annual burden hours for households.
9. Mass Change in Federal Benefits (7 CFR 273.12(e)(3)): Under this
requirement, 53 State agencies will each establish procedures for
making mass changes to reflect cost of living adjustments in benefits
and any other mass changes under Retirement, Survivors, and Disability
Insurance (RSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) once annually.
Thus, the information collection activities associated with this
requirement result in 53 responses for State agencies. FNS estimates
that it takes States 10 hours per response, resulting in 530.00 burden
hours. This adjustment to the burden reflects an increase of 53 total
annual responses and 530.00 total annual burden hours for States
agencies. There are no burden activities required for households.
10. Change Report Form (7 CFR 273.12(b)(4)): Under this
requirement, 53 State agencies will each provide, on average,
794,055.70 change report forms to households upon initial application,
recertification, and when any household submits a change report. Thus,
the information collection activities associated with this requirement
result in 42,084,952 responses for State agencies. FNS estimates that

annual burden hours for households.
12. Notice of Missing or Incomplete Report (7 CFR 273.12(a)(4)(iii)
& 273.12(a)(5)(iii)(D)): For State agencies, the burden associated with
this requirement is included in the burden table of the currently
approved collection. However, for households, this requirement is not
included as a separate entry in the burden table.
Under this requirement, 53 State agencies will each send, on
average, 1,009.17 notices to ongoing households to advise them when
they have failed to submit the required monthly, quarterly or
semiannual report altogether or, if the household submitted the report,
that some of the information required to be included in such reports
was not provided. Thus, the information collection activities
associated with this requirement result in 53,486 responses for State
agencies. FNS estimates that it takes States approximately 3 minutes
(0.0501 hours) per response, resulting in 2,679.65 burden hours. The
currently approved number of responses and burden hours for this
requirement are 60,942.05 and 2,035.46, respectively. This adjustment
to the burden reflects a decrease of 7,456.05 total annual responses
and an increase of 644.18 total annual burden hours for States
agencies. FNS also estimates that 42,789 households will each read one
notice. Thus, the information collection activities associated with
this requirement result in 42,789 responses for households. FNS
estimates that it takes households approximately 5 minutes (0.0835
hours) per response, resulting in 3,572.88 burden hours. This
adjustment to the burden reflects an increase of 42,789 total annual
responses and 3,572.88 total annual burden hours for households.
13. Notice of Expiration (7 CFR 273.14(b)(1)): For State agencies,
the burden associated with this requirement is included in the burden
table of the currently approved collection. However, for households,
this requirement is not included as a separate entry in the burden
table.
Under this requirement, 53 State agencies will each send, on
average, 365,751.11 notices to currently participating households at
least 30 days prior to the expiration of their current certification
period. Thus, the information collection activities associated with
this requirement result in 19,384,809 responses for State agencies. FNS
estimates that it takes States approximately 3 minutes (0.0501 hours)
per response, resulting in 971,178.93 burden hours. The currently
approved number of responses and burden hours for this requirement are
22,087,011.18 and 737,706.17, respectively. This adjustment to the
burden reflects a decrease of 2,702,202.18 total annual responses and
an increase of 233,472.76 total annual burden hours for States
agencies. FNS also estimates that 15,507,847 households will each read
one notice. Thus, the information collection activities associated with
this requirement result in 15,507,847 responses for households. FNS
estimates that it takes households approximately 5 minutes (0.0835
hours) per response, resulting in 1,294,905.22 burden hours. This
adjustment to the burden reflects an increase of 15,507,847 total
annual responses and 1,294,905.22 total annual burden hours for
households.
FNS made the above adjustments to more accurately reflect the
burden associated with the information collection requirements at 7 CFR
parts 271, 272, and 273.
Considering all burden adjustments made as part of this renewal
(e.g., modification of hourly burden estimates, inclusion of burden for
existing requirements not delineated in previous burden tables), FNS is
requesting an overall burden of 937,793,284.93, rounded to 937,793,285,
total annual responses and 112,543,753.58, rounded to 112,543,754,
total annual burden hours. These burden estimates include
772,614,488.93 total annual responses and 108,220,423.43 total annual
burden hours for reporting by State agencies and Individuals/
Households. The estimates also include 165,178,796.00 total annual
responses and 4,323,340.14 total annual burden hours for recordkeeping
by Local agencies. A breakdown of the burden estimates per type of
affected public is provided below.

The currently approved burden for this information collection is
643,938,886 total annual responses and 77,690,005 total annual burden
hours. Thus, when compared to the burden in the currently approved
information collection, the adjustments in this renewal represent an
increase of 293,854,398.93, rounded to 293,854,399, total annual
responses and 34,853,748.58, rounded to 34,853,749, total annual burden
hours. All burden changes associated with the renewal of this
information collection are due to adjustments.
FNS is currently in the process of conducting less than ten
consultations with State agencies and FNS staff regarding the accuracy
of the burden estimates in this information collection, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions that were used to estimate
the burden. The inputs from those consultations will be considered,
along with the public comments received in response to this notice, as
FNS finalizes the burden estimate to be included in the request for OMB
for approval.
