Title: Report of Disaster Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program Benefit
Issuances and Report of Commodity
Distribution for Disaster Relief.
Form Number: FNS–292A and FNS–
292B.
OMB Number: 0584–0037.
Expiration Date: 5/31/2024.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: This information collection
pertains only to the recordkeeping
burden associated with forms FNS–
292A and FNS–292B. The reporting
burden associated with these forms is
approved under OMB No. 0584–0594
(Food Program Reporting System;
expiration date: 9/30/2026). The Food
and Nutrition Service (FNS) utilizes
forms FNS–292A and FNS–292B to
collect information not otherwise
available on the extent of FNS-funded
disaster relief operations. Following
OMB approval of this extension, this
information collection will be merged
with OMB Control # 0584–0336
(expiration 11/30/2025) to streamline
burden estimates related to disasters
into one information collection.
Form FNS–292A, Report of
Commodity Distribution for Disaster
Relief, is used by State distributing
agencies, including Indian Tribal
Organizations administering the Food
Distribution Program on Indian
Reservations (FDPIR), to provide a
summary report to FNS following
termination of disaster commodity
assistance and to request replacement of
donated foods distributed during the
disaster or situation of distress. Donated
food distribution in disaster situations is
authorized under section 32 of the Act
of August 24, 1935 (7 U.S.C. 612c);
Section 416 of the Agricultural Act of
1949 (7 U.S.C. 1431); Section 709 of the
Food and Agriculture Act of 1965 (7
U.S.C. 1446a-1); Section 4(a) of the
Agriculture and Consumer Protection
Act of 1973 (7 U.S.C. 612c note); and by
sections 412 and 413 of the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5179, 5180).
Program implementing regulations are
contained in part 250 of title 7 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). In
accordance with 7 CFR 250.69(f) and 7
CFR 250.70(f), State distributing
agencies shall provide a summary report
to FNS within 45 days following
termination of the disaster assistance
and maintain records of these reports
and other information relating to
disasters.
Form FNS–292B, Report of Disaster
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Benefit Issuance, is used by State
agencies to report to FNS the number of
households and persons certified for
Disaster Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (D–SNAP) benefits
as well as the value of benefits issued.
D–SNAP is a separate program from the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) and is authorized by
sections 402 and 502 of the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.)
and the temporary emergency
provisions contained in section 5 of the
Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, and in
7 CFR part 280 of the SNAP regulations.
State agencies may request FNS

approval to operate a D–SNAP to
address the temporary food needs of
certain households in affected areas
following a disaster after certain criteria
is met. If approved to operate D–SNAP
by FNS, a State agency must submit its
final FNS–292B to FNS within 45 days
of terminating D–SNAP operations, and
maintain records of this report.
The number of disasters that will
result in a State requesting to operate a
FNS disaster food relief activity in a
given year is impossible to predict.
However, 55 is the maximum number of
State distributing agencies that have
ever utilized disaster commodity
assistance in a given year. Accordingly,
FNS is estimating this burden by
assuming that, at maximum, 55 State
distributing agency will distribute
donated foods during a disaster or
situation of distress once per year. In the
case of State SNAP agencies, FNS is
estimating this burden assuming that
each State SNAP agency will request
and be approved to operate D–SNAP
once per year.
Affected Public: State agencies that
administer FNS disaster food relief
activities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 55
Food Distribution State agencies for
Form FNS–292A; 53 State SNAP
agencies for Form FNS–292B.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1 recordkeeping response
per State distributing agency; 1
recordkeeping responses per State
SNAP agency. 1.964 responses per
respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
108.
Estimated Time per Response:
Recordkeeping burden for the State
agencies is estimated to be 7.5 minutes
(.125 hours) per form (FNS–292A and
FNS–292B) per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: Recordkeeping burden for
the State agencies is estimated to be 7.5
minutes (.125 hours) per form (FNS–
292A and FNS–292B) per respondent
for a total of 14 hours (13.5 rounded up).

Title: Report of Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
Benefit Issuances and Report of Commodity Distribution for Disaster
Relief.
Form Number: FNS-292A and FNS-292B.
OMB Number: 0584-0037.
Expiration Date: 5/31/2024.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: This information collection pertains only to the
recordkeeping burden associated with forms FNS-292A and FNS-292B. The
reporting burden associated with these forms is approved under OMB No.
0584-0594 (Food Program Reporting System; expiration date: 9/30/2026).
The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) utilizes forms FNS-292A and FNS-
292B to collect information not otherwise available on the extent of
FNS-funded disaster relief operations. Following OMB approval of this
extension, this information collection will be merged with OMB Control
# 0584-0336 (expiration 11/30/2025) to streamline burden estimates
related to disasters into one information collection.
Form FNS-292A, Report of Commodity Distribution for Disaster
Relief, is used by State distributing agencies, including Indian Tribal
Organizations administering the Food Distribution Program on Indian
Reservations (FDPIR), to provide a summary report to FNS following
termination of disaster commodity assistance and to request replacement
of donated foods distributed during the disaster or situation of
distress. Donated food distribution in disaster situations is
authorized under section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935 (7 U.S.C.
612c); Section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1431);
Section 709 of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965 (7 U.S.C. 1446a-1);
Section 4(a) of the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973 (7
U.S.C. 612c note); and by sections 412 and 413 of the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5179,
5180). Program implementing regulations are contained in part 250 of
title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). In accordance with 7
CFR 250.69(f) and 7 CFR 250.70(f), State distributing agencies shall
provide a summary report to FNS within 45 days following termination of
the disaster assistance and maintain records of these reports and other
information relating to disasters.
Form FNS-292B, Report of Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Benefit Issuance, is used by State agencies to report to FNS the number
of households and persons certified for Disaster Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (D-SNAP) benefits as well as the value of benefits
issued. D-SNAP is a separate program from the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) and is authorized by sections 402 and 502 of
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42
U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) and the temporary emergency provisions contained
in section 5 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, and in 7 CFR part
280 of the SNAP regulations. State agencies may request FNS approval to
operate a D-SNAP to address the temporary food needs of certain
households in affected areas following a disaster after certain
criteria is met. If approved to operate D-SNAP by FNS, a State agency
must submit its final FNS-292B to FNS within 45 days of terminating D-
SNAP operations, and maintain records of this report.
The number of disasters that will result in a State requesting to
operate a FNS disaster food relief activity in a given year is
impossible to predict. However, 55 is the maximum number of State
distributing agencies that have ever utilized disaster commodity
assistance in a given year. Accordingly, FNS is estimating this burden
by assuming that, at maximum, 55 State distributing agency will
distribute donated foods during a disaster or situation of distress
once per year. In the case of State SNAP agencies, FNS is estimating
this burden assuming that each State SNAP agency will request and be
approved to operate D-SNAP once per year.
Affected Public: State agencies that administer FNS disaster food
relief activities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 55 Food Distribution State
agencies for Form FNS-292A; 53 State SNAP agencies for Form FNS-292B.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1 recordkeeping
response per State distributing agency; 1 recordkeeping responses per
State SNAP agency. 1.964 responses per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 108.
Estimated Time per Response: Recordkeeping burden for the State
agencies is estimated to be 7.5 minutes (.125 hours) per form (FNS-292A
and FNS-292B) per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: Recordkeeping burden
for the State agencies is estimated to be 7.5 minutes (.125 hours) per
