Title: Disaster Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (D–SNAP).
Form: N/A.
OMB Number: 0584–0336.
Expiration Date: 10/31/2022.
Type of Request: Revision of a
previously approved collection.
Abstract: Pursuant to § 412 of the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.
5179) and § 5(h)(1) the Food and
Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2014(h)),
the Secretary of Agriculture has the
authority to establish a Disaster
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (D–SNAP), which is a
temporary program that State agencies
may operate to provide food assistance
to households affected by disasters. D–
SNAP is separate and distinct from the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) because it has different
standards of eligibility, is operated for a
limited duration, and only provides one
month’s worth of benefits to eligible
households.
State agencies submit formal requests
to operate D–SNAP to the Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) for approval
and may only request to operate D–
SNAP in areas that have received a
Presidential Disaster Declaration with
authorization for Individual Assistance,
also known as an IA declaration, from
the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). In their D–SNAP
requests, State agencies outline their
proposed procedures for conducting D–
SNAP facility, designate the areas where
they wish to operate, and provide
sufficient supporting information. FNS
reviews all D–SNAP requests and
supporting information to ensure that
all necessary requirements to operate D–
SNAP are met. Using clearly defined
FNS’ criteria, FNS created a template for
State agencies submit their D–SNAP
requests electronically through the
Waiver Information Management
System (WIMS).
Once the original request to operate
D–SNAP is approved by FNS to operate
D–SNAP, State agencies will submit any
subsequent request to modify or expand
operations to newly eligible areas via
WIMS to FNS for approval. These
modification or expansion requests are
typically reserved for when a large-scale
disaster impacts different areas of a
State in different ways or at different
times. Subsequent modification and
expansion requests require substantially
less time to prepare than initial D–
SNAP requests.
This information collection request
contains only burden estimates
associated with the State agency request
to operate a D–SNAP. All burden
imposed on State agencies and
households associated with the
certification of D–SNAP households
performed by State agencies is approved
under OMB Control Number 0584–0064
(SNAP Forms: Applications, Periodic
Reporting, Notices; expiration date: 2/
29/2024).
Burden for State reporting of both the
D–SNAP data on the FNS–292A (Report
of Commodity Distribution for Disaster
Relief) and FNS–292B (Report of
Disaster Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Benefit Issuance) are
approved under two separate OMB
Control Numbers. The recordkeeping
burden for FNS–292A and FNS–292B is
approved under OMB Control Number
0584–0037 (expiration date: 05/31/
2024), and the reporting burden for the
FNS–292A and FNS–292B is approved
under OMB Control Number 0584–0594
(Food Programs Reporting System;
expiration date: 07/31/2023). None of
the burden activities for the other
approved OMB control numbers cited in
this notice have been outlined in this
submission.
Because it is impossible to predict the
number of natural disasters and extreme
weather events that result in an IA
declaration in a given year, and because
some State agencies may find that
operation of a D–SNAP is not warranted
even upon receipt of an IA declaration,
FNS is revising this burden estimate
based on the annual average number of
formal D–SNAP requests submitted and
approved since this collection was last
approved. From Federal Fiscal Year
2019 to 2021 an average of 5 State
agencies requested and were approved
to operate D–SNAP each year and an
average of 2 State agencies requested
Estimated
number of
respondents
tkelley on DSK125TN23PROD with NOTICE
Respondent
Responses
annually per
respondent
and were approved for a modification or
extension. The number of hours per
response has not changed, but the
estimated total burden hours has
increased due to the higher number of
State agency requests. The agency
understands based on respondent
threshold outlined in the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 1995 FNS does not need
to submit a request to OMB; however, to
err on the side of caution, the agency is
seeking OMB approval in case more
than nine States need to submit D–
SNAP requests, which will require the
agency to seek OMB approval.
In light of this, we also understand
seeking and obtaining OMB approval
now will allow the agency to request a
change justification for any
modifications in the burden estimates
due to increase of the number of State
agency respondents rather than
complete the entire full-blown OMB
process again for any changes in burden
estimates due to an increase in
respondents.
Summary of Burden Hours
Affected Public: State agencies and
local governments.
Estimated Total Annual Number of
Respondents: 5. The total estimated
number of respondents is 5. An average
of 5 State agencies submit D–SNAP
requests each year, and out of those
original 5 State agencies, an average of
2 State agencies will submit subsequent
requests to modify or expand those
already approved D–SNAPs. Therefore,
the agency is not double counting these
5 State agencies in our estimates.
Estimated Frequency of Responses per
Respondents: 2.8. State agencies submit
an average of 2 D–SNAP requests per
year and average of 2 subsequent
modification or expansion requests per
year.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
14.
Estimated Total Hours per Response:
8. Approximately 10 hours for State
agency D–SNAP requests, and
approximately 3 hours for each
subsequent modification or expansion
request.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 112.

Title: Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP).
Form: N/A.
OMB Number: 0584-0336.
Expiration Date: 10/31/2022.
Type of Request: Revision of a previously approved collection.
Abstract: Pursuant to Sec. 412 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5179) and Sec. 5(h)(1)
the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2014(h)), the Secretary of
Agriculture has the authority to establish a Disaster Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP), which is a temporary program
that State agencies may operate to provide food assistance to
households affected by disasters. D-SNAP is separate and distinct from
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) because it has
different standards of eligibility, is operated for a limited duration,
and only provides one month's worth of benefits to eligible households.
State agencies submit formal requests to operate D-SNAP to the Food
and Nutrition Service (FNS) for approval and may only request to
operate D-SNAP in areas that have received a Presidential Disaster
Declaration with authorization for Individual Assistance, also known as
an IA declaration, from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
In their D-SNAP requests, State agencies outline their proposed
procedures for conducting D-SNAP facility, designate the areas where
they wish to operate, and provide sufficient supporting information.
FNS reviews all D-SNAP requests and supporting information to ensure
that all necessary requirements to operate D-SNAP are met. Using
clearly defined FNS' criteria, FNS created a template for State
agencies submit their D-SNAP requests electronically through the Waiver
Information Management System (WIMS).
Once the original request to operate D-SNAP is approved by FNS to

modify or expand operations to newly eligible areas via WIMS to FNS for
approval. These modification or expansion requests are typically
reserved for when a large-scale disaster impacts different areas of a
State in different ways or at different times. Subsequent modification
and expansion requests require substantially less time to prepare than
initial D-SNAP requests.
This information collection request contains only burden estimates
associated with the State agency request to operate a D-SNAP. All
burden imposed on State agencies and households associated with the
certification of D-SNAP households performed by State agencies is
approved under OMB Control Number 0584-0064 (SNAP Forms: Applications,
Periodic Reporting, Notices; expiration date: 2/29/2024).
Burden for State reporting of both the D-SNAP data on the FNS-292A
(Report of Commodity Distribution for Disaster Relief) and FNS-292B
(Report of Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Benefit Issuance)
are approved under two separate OMB Control Numbers. The recordkeeping
burden for FNS-292A and FNS-292B is approved under OMB Control Number
0584-0037 (expiration date: 05/31/2024), and the reporting burden for
the FNS-292A and FNS-292B is approved under OMB Control Number 0584-
0594 (Food Programs Reporting System; expiration date: 07/31/2023).
None of the burden activities for the other approved OMB control
numbers cited in this notice have been outlined in this submission.
Because it is impossible to predict the number of natural disasters
and extreme weather events that result in an IA declaration in a given
year, and because some State agencies may find that operation of a D-
SNAP is not warranted even upon receipt of an IA declaration, FNS is
revising this burden estimate based on the annual average number of
formal D-SNAP requests submitted and approved since this collection was
last approved. From Federal Fiscal Year 2019 to 2021 an average of 5
State agencies requested and were approved to operate D-SNAP each year
and an average of 2 State agencies requested and were approved for a
modification or extension. The number of hours per response has not
changed, but the estimated total burden hours has increased due to the
higher number of State agency requests. The agency understands based on
