703–305–2515.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments
are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions that were
used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection

Title: SNAP E&T Performance
Measure, Monitoring, and Reporting
Requirements.
Form Number: Not applicable.
OMB Number: 0584–0614.
Expiration Date: 12/31/2022.
Type of Request: Extension, without
change, of a currently approved
collection.
Abstract: Section 16(h)(5) of the Food
and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended,
and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) regulations at 7 CFR
273.7(c)(17) require State agencies to
submit annual outcome reports to
monitor the effectiveness of SNAP
Employment and Training (E&T)
programs. State agencies must maintain
records in order to support data
reported in the annual outcome reports.
The information collected on the annual
outcome report includes: (1) The
number and percentage of E&T
participants who retain employment 2
quarters and 4 quarters after completing
E&T; (2) the median wages for
participants with earnings 2 quarters
after completion of E&T; (3) the number
and percentage of participants that
completed a training, education, work
experience or on-the-job training
component; (4) certain unique
characteristics of SNAP E&T
participants; and (5) additional
reporting requirements for State
agencies that pledge to serve all at-risk
Able-bodied Adults without Dependents
(ABAWDs). State agencies are also
required to identify appropriate
outcome reporting measures for each
proposed component that is intended to
serve a threshold number of participants
of at least 100 a year. The reporting
measures for these components are
identified in State agencies’ E&T annual
plans (OMB Control Number 0584–
0083, expiration 8/31/2023) and the
outcome data are reported to the Food
and Nutrition Service (FNS) in State
agencies’ annual outcome reports. State
agencies are required to submit outcome
reports to FNS Regional Offices
annually.
Using the information from the
annual outcome reports, as well as
information contained within States’
Employment and Training Plans and
quarterly Program Activity Reports
(FNS–583) collected through the Food
Programs Reporting System (FPRS)
(OMB Control Number 0584–0594,
expiration 07/31/2023), FNS conducts
an analysis to identify and resolve
technical or programmatic issues with
the data as reported by the State
agencies. Once data issues are resolved
FNS prepares an Outcome Summary
Report and a Technical Assistance
Report for each State agency that
highlights the State’s outcome data and
identifies areas for improvement. The
expectation is that State agencies will
use these reports for continuous
program improvement. This process is
critical to building a more effective E&T
operation nationally that will help move
more individuals into the workforce.
FNS is not seeking to modify the FNS–
583 (OMB Control Number 0584–0594,
expiration 7/31/2023) data collection
through this request.
State agencies use a combination of
methods to collect the outcome data,
including existing automated data
systems, new data collection, sampling
methods, and some direct contact with
SNAP E&T participants. FNS estimates
that the burden associated with these
activities averages approximately 231
hours annually per State, or 12,233
hours per year total. The breakdown of
the burden hours is itemized in the table
below.
Affected Public: State, Local and
Tribal Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The total estimated number of
respondents is 53 State agencies,
including the agencies responsible for
SNAP administration in 50 States, the
District of Columbia, Guam and the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: The 53 State agencies are
required to submit data on the outcome
report annually. State agencies are
required to maintain data to support 1
report per year.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
53.
Estimated Time per Response: The
estimated time of response, including
recordkeeping and reporting is 32.796
hours per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 12,233 hours See the table
below for estimated total annual burden
for each type of respondent.
