Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved information collection. The currently approved burden for this data collection is 124,187,297 total annual burden hours and 937,793,285 total annual responses. In this revision, FNS is requesting 142,800,634 total annual burden hours and 1,058,325,968 total annual responses. The increase in burden and annual responses reflects both adjustments and program changes. FNS modified the burden of some of its reporting and recordkeeping requirements to reflect current SNAP caseload levels and more recent or accurate data sources, where possible. These adjustments represent an increase of 18,613,337 total annual burden hours. Additionally, FNS added burden hours to reflect program changes related to two final rules, “Employment and Training Opportunities in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program” (84 FR 358, RIN 0584-AE68 and published March 8, 2021) and “Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Requirement for Interstate Data Matching to Prevent Multiple Issuances” (87 FR 59633, RIN 0584-AE75 and published December 2, 2022)). More information about these rules and the associated burden estimates are provided in Section A2 and the Burden Narrative (Appendix F). These program changes represent an increase of 827,239.41 total annual burden hours. Together, these adjustments and program changes represent an increase of 120,532,683 total annual responses and 18,613,337 total annual burden hours for 53 State agencies, 2,724 Local agencies, and 21,620,718 Individuals/Households compared to the last to the burden in the currently approved information collection. For more details on the burden calculations, see the Burden Table (Appendix E) and Burden Narrative (Appendix F).
