The Agricultural Act of 2014 amended the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to increase the requirement that certain Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) authorized retail food stores have available on a continuous basis at least three varieties of items in each of four staple food categories, to a mandatory minimum of seven varieties. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) codified these mandatory requirements via RIN 0584-AE61. This change will propose to provide some retailers participating in SNAP as authorized food stores with more flexibility in meeting the enhanced SNAP eligibility requirements. The stakeholder community includes SNAP applicant and authorized retailers required to meet eligibility requirements, public health and access focused advocacy organizations, and SNAP participants. Stakeholder engagement may include listening sessions with these stakeholders, though significant feedback is also available in comments submitted to the previously published proposed rule.
