Title: Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program Repayment Demand
and Program Disqualification.
OMB Number: 0584–0492.
Form Number: None.
Expiration Date: March 31, 2021.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 13(b) of the Food
and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended
(7 U.S.C. 2022(b)), and Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
regulations at 7 CFR 273.18 require
State agencies to initiate collection
action against households that have
been overissued benefits. To initiate
collection action, State agencies must
provide an affected household with
written notification informing the
household of the claim and demanding
repayment. This process is automated in
most State agencies. Note that for
overissuance claims, this information
collection only covers the activities
associated with initiating collection.
The burden associated with reporting
collections and other claims
management information on the FNS–
209 form is covered under the Food
Program Reporting System OMB
number 0584– 0594, expiration date 7/
31/2023. The burden associated with
referring delinquent claims and
receiving collections through the
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Treasury Offset Program is covered
under currently approved OMB number
0584–0446, expiration date 11/30/2022.
SNAP regulations at 7 CFR
273.16(e)(3) require State agencies to
investigate any case of suspected fraud
and, where applicable, make an
Intentional Program Violation (IPV)
determination either administratively or
judicially. Notifications and activities
involved in the IPV process include:
—The State agency providing written
notification informing an individual
suspected of committing an IPV of an
impending administrative
disqualification hearing or court
action;
—An individual opting to accept the
disqualification and waiving the right
to an administrative disqualification
hearing or court action by signing
either a waiver to an administrative
disqualification hearing or a
disqualification consent agreement in
cases of deferred adjudication and
returning it to the State agency; and
—Once a determination is made
regarding an IPV, the State agency
sending notification to the affected
individual of the action taken on the
administrative disqualification
hearing or court decision.
SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 273.16
require State agencies to use
disqualified recipient data to ascertain
the correct penalty for IPVs, based on
prior disqualifications. State agencies
determine this by accessing and
reviewing records located in the
Electronic Disqualified Recipient
System (eDRS). eDRS is an automated
system developed by FNS that contains
records of disqualifications in every
State. State agencies are also responsible
for updating the system, as required at
7 CFR 237.16, which includes reporting
disqualifications in eDRS as they occur
and updating eDRS when records are no
longer accurate, relevant, or complete.
Summary of Estimated Burden
The burden consists of two major
components: The initiation of
overissuance collection and actions
associated with IPV determinations. The
estimated total annual burden for this
collection is 135,525.984 hours
(93,348.230 SA reporting hours +
21,431.811 SA record keeping hours +
20,745.942 household reporting hours).
The net aggregate change to this
collection is a decrease of 68,061.307
E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM
31AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 169 / Monday, August 31, 2020 / Notices
total burden hours from the currently
approved burden of 203,587.291 hours.
The estimated total annual responses for
this collection is 2,033,844.640
responses (728,248.640 SA reporting
total annual response + 641,671.000 SA
recordkeeping total annual records +
663,925.000 household reporting total
annual responses). The burden hours
associated with overissuance collection
initiation have decreased due to a
decrease in the amount of claims
established in fiscal year (FY) 2019. The
burden hours associated with IPV
activity have decreased slightly as a
result of a decreased number of SNAP
households that States initiated IPV
activity against in FY2019.
Affected Public: State, Local and
Tribal government (SA); Individual/
Households (I/H).
Respondent Type: SNAP participants.

Demand Letter for Overissuance CFR
273.18 (a)(2)
Based on many years of doing these
activities, FNS estimates it will take the
53 State SNAP Agencies 8 minutes
(0.1336 hours) to issue a Demand Letter,
and that they will issue 10,562 letters
each, for a total of 74,787.276 hours.
The prior approval included
118,171.338 hours. The new burden
estimate is 43,384.062 hours less than
the previously approved burden amount
due to program adjustments.
(53 States * 10,562 letters each * 8
minutes (0.1336 hours) = 74,787.276
hours).
Prior approval 118,171.338 hours—
74,787.276 hours = 43,384.062 hours
less than the currently approved burden
amount).

39,097.00 annual responses. FNS
estimates that it will take approximately
5 minutes (0.0835 hours) for a State to
generate reporting from eDRS for a total
of 3,264.60 burden hours. This
represents a change of 1,533.394 fewer
burden hours from the previously
approved burden of 4,797.994 hours due
to program adjustments.
(53 State agencies * 737.68 responses
* 5 minutes (0.0835 hours) = 3,264.600

Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Repayment Demand
and Program Disqualification.
OMB Number: 0584-0492.
Form Number: None.
Expiration Date: March 31, 2021.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 13(b) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as
amended (7 U.S.C. 2022(b)), and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) regulations at 7 CFR 273.18 require State agencies to
initiate collection action against households that have been overissued
benefits. To initiate collection action, State agencies must provide an
affected household with written notification informing the household of
the claim and demanding repayment. This process is automated in most
State agencies. Note that for overissuance claims, this information
collection only covers the activities associated with initiating
collection.
The burden associated with reporting collections and other claims
management information on the FNS- 209 form is covered under the Food
Program Reporting System OMB number 0584- 0594, expiration date 7/31/
2023. The burden associated with referring delinquent claims and
receiving collections through the Treasury Offset Program is covered
under currently approved OMB number 0584-0446, expiration date 11/30/
2022.
SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 273.16(e)(3) require State agencies to
investigate any case of suspected fraud and, where applicable, make an
Intentional Program Violation (IPV) determination either
administratively or judicially. Notifications and activities involved
in the IPV process include:
--The State agency providing written notification informing an
individual suspected of committing an IPV of an impending
administrative disqualification hearing or court action;
--An individual opting to accept the disqualification and waiving the
right to an administrative disqualification hearing or court action by
signing either a waiver to an administrative disqualification hearing
or a disqualification consent agreement in cases of deferred
adjudication and returning it to the State agency; and
--Once a determination is made regarding an IPV, the State agency
sending notification to the affected individual of the action taken on
the administrative disqualification hearing or court decision.
SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 273.16 require State agencies to use
disqualified recipient data to ascertain the correct penalty for IPVs,
based on prior disqualifications. State agencies determine this by
accessing and reviewing records located in the Electronic Disqualified
Recipient System (eDRS). eDRS is an automated system developed by FNS
that contains records of disqualifications in every State. State
agencies are also responsible for updating the system, as required at 7
CFR 237.16, which includes reporting disqualifications in eDRS as they
occur and updating eDRS when records are no longer accurate, relevant,
or complete.
Summary of Estimated Burden
The burden consists of two major components: The initiation of
overissuance collection and actions associated with IPV determinations.
The estimated total annual burden for this collection is 135,525.984
hours (93,348.230 SA reporting hours + 21,431.811 SA record keeping
hours + 20,745.942 household reporting hours). The net aggregate change
to this collection is a decrease of 68,061.307
[[Page 53787]]
total burden hours from the currently approved burden of 203,587.291
hours. The estimated total annual responses for this collection is
2,033,844.640 responses (728,248.640 SA reporting total annual response
+ 641,671.000 SA recordkeeping total annual records + 663,925.000
household reporting total annual responses). The burden hours
associated with overissuance collection initiation have decreased due
to a decrease in the amount of claims established in fiscal year (FY)
2019. The burden hours associated with IPV activity have decreased
slightly as a result of a decreased number of SNAP households that
States initiated IPV activity against in FY2019.
Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal government (SA);
Individual/Households (I/H).
Respondent Type: SNAP participants.
SA Reporting Burden
States have done these activities for many years. Based on prior
experience in how long these activities take, USDA estimates it will
take the 53 State SNAP Agencies 8 minutes (0.1336 hours) to issue the
types of letters and notices described below. The following is a
summary total of the activities described below.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 53.
Estimate Total Number of Responses per Respondent: 13,818.261.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 728,248.640.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.12818.
Estimated Total Annual Reporting Burden: 93,348.230.
Demand Letter for Overissuance CFR 273.18 (a)(2)
Based on many years of doing these activities, FNS estimates it
will take the 53 State SNAP Agencies 8 minutes (0.1336 hours) to issue
a Demand Letter, and that they will issue 10,562 letters each, for a
total of 74,787.276 hours. The prior approval included 118,171.338
hours. The new burden estimate is 43,384.062 hours less than the
previously approved burden amount due to program adjustments.
(53 States * 10,562 letters each * 8 minutes (0.1336 hours) =
74,787.276 hours).
Prior approval 118,171.338 hours--74,787.276 hours = 43,384.062
hours less than the currently approved burden amount).
Notice for Hearing or Prosecution 7 CFR 273.16(e)(3)
FNS estimates that 53 State agencies will issue 807.34 Notices for
Hearing or Prosecution for a total of 42,789.00 responses. FNS
estimates it will take approximately 8 minutes (0.1336 hours) to issue
a Notice for Hearing or Prosecution for an estimated 5,716.61 total
hours. The previously approved burden was 5,374.728 hours. This
represents an addition of 341.882 additional hours associated with this
burden due to program adjustment.
(53 States * 807.34 responses * 8 minutes (0.1336 hours) =
5,716.610 hours). Prior approval 5,374.728 hours--5,716.61 hours =
341.882 hours more than previously approved burden.
Action Taken on Hearing or Court Decision: For IPV Findings 7 CFR
273.16(e)(9)
FNS estimates that 53 State agencies will take action on 815.40
Intentional Program Violation findings for a total of 39,097.00
responses. FNS estimates that it will take approximately 10 minutes
(0.167 hours) for a State to take action on a court decision for
Intentional Program Violation findings for a total of 6,529.199 annual
burden hours. This represents a change of 1,223.289 fewer hours from
the previous approved burden of 7,752.488 hours due to program
adjustments.
(53 State agencies * 815.4 responses * 10 minutes (0.167 hours) =
6,529.199 hours). Prior approval 7,752.488 hours--6,529.199 hours =
1,223.289 hours less than previously approved burden.
Action Taken on Hearing or Court Decision: For No IPV Findings 7 CFR
273.16(e)(9)
FNS estimates that 53 State agencies will take action on 69.66
instances of no Intentional Program Violations as a result of a hearing
or court decision for a total of 3,692.00 total responses. FNS
estimates that it will take approximately 5 minutes (0.0835 hours) for
a State to take action on a hearing or court decision for no
Intentional Program Violation findings for a total of 308.282 annual
burden hours. This represents a change of 179.609 additional burden
hours from the previously approved burden of 128.674 hours due to
program adjustments.
(53 State agencies * 69.66 responses * 5 minutes (0.0835 hours) =
308.282 hours). Prior approval 128.678 hours--308.282 hours = 179.609
additional burden hours than previously reported.
Electronic Disqualified Recipient System Breakout: For eDRS Reporting 7
CFR 273.16(i)(2)(i)
FNS estimates that 53 State agencies will generate reporting from
their eDRS system 737.68 times for a total of 39,097.00 annual
responses. FNS estimates that it will take approximately 5 minutes
(0.0835 hours) for a State to generate reporting from eDRS for a total
of 3,264.60 burden hours. This represents a change of 1,533.394 fewer
burden hours from the previously approved burden of 4,797.994 hours due
to program adjustments.
(53 State agencies * 737.68 responses * 5 minutes (0.0835 hours) =
3,264.600 hours). Prior approval of 4,797.994 hours--3,264.600 hours =
1,533.394 fewer burden hours than previously reported.
Electronic Disqualified Recipient System Breakout: For Editing and
Resubmission 7 CFR 272.1(f)(3)
FNS estimates that 53 State agencies will edit and resubmit
reporting to eDRS system 88.52 times for a total of 4,691.64 annual
responses. FNS estimates that it will take approximately 10 minutes
(0.167 hours) for a State to edit and resubmit reporting to eDRS for a
total of 783.504 burden hours. This represents a change of 365.739
fewer burden hours from the previously approved 1,149.243 hours due to
program adjustments.
(53 State agencies * 88.52 responses * 10 minutes (0.167 hours) =
783.504 hours). Prior approval of 1,149.243 hours--783.504 = 365.739
fewer burden hours than previously reported.
Electronic Disqualified Recipient System Breakout: For Penalty Checks
using Mainframe 7 CFR 273.16(i)(4)
FNS estimates that 53 State agencies will use eDRS for penalty
checks using the mainframe 737.68 times for a total of 39,097.00 annual
responses. FNS estimates that it will take approximately 3 minutes
(0.0501 hours) for a State to run a penalty check using the mainframe
for a total of 1,958.760 burden hours. This represents a change of
20.661 additional burden hours from the previously approved 1,938.099
hours due to program adjustments.
(53 State agencies * 737.68 responses * 3 minutes (0.0501 hours) =
1,958.760 hours). Prior approval of 1,938.099 hours--1,958.76 hours =
20.661 additional annual burden hours than previously reported.

approximately 2 minutes (0.0334 hours) for a State agency to perform
recordkeeping for initiation of a collection action for a total of
18,696.819 burden hours. This represents a change of 10,846.015 fewer
burden hours from the previously approved burden of 29,542.834 hours
due to program adjustments.
(53 State agencies * 10,561.98 records * 2 minutes (0.0334 hours) =
18,696.819 hours). Prior approval of 29,542.834 hours--18,696.819 hours

burden hours. This represents a change of 81.763 fewer annual burden
hours due to a program adjustment from the previously approved burden
of 604.941 hours.
(15,664 respondents * 1 response per respondent * 2 minutes (0.0334
