The information collection requires States agencies to issue a warning notice to withhold replacement electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards or a warning notice for excessive EBT card replacements for individual members of a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) household requesting four EBT cards in a 12-month period. These notices are being issued to educate SNAP recipients on use of the EBT card and to deter fraudulent activity.
US Code:
7 USC 2011-2036
Name of Law: SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
This is a revision of a currently approved information collection; the current overall burden inventory for this information collection is 21,941 total annual burden hours and 550,994 total annual responses. We are requesting 22,988.73 burden hours rounded to 22,989(14,576.75 burden hours for individuals/households and 8,411.98 for State agencies) and 503,712.20 total annual responses (251,856.10 total annual responses for individuals/households and 251,856.10 total annual responses for State agencies). This request reflects a increase by 1,045.77 total annual burden hours and a decrease of -47,281.80 total annual responses rounded to -47,282. The revision reflects an adjustment due to the number of households contacting States who opt to follow our regulations at 274.6(b)(5) to withhold replacement cards, which requires some households to make contact with the State agency if they request excessive replacement cards.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
