Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Forms: 
Applications, Periodic Reporting, and Notices.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0064.
    Summary of Collection: The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (the 
Act), as amended, specifies national eligibility standards and imposes 
certain administrative requirements on State agencies in administering 
the program. Information must be collected from households to assure 
that they are eligible for the program and that they receive the 
correct amount of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 
benefits. Information collected is limited to that necessary for the 
administration and enforcement of the SNAP Program. The Federal 
procedures for implementing the application and certification 
procedures in the Act are in Parts 271, 272, and 273 of the Title 7 of 
the Code of Federal Register.
    Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information to 
determine the eligibility of households for the SNAP program and to 
determine the correct benefit levels for eligible households. If 
information is not collected to certify households in accordance with 
the Act or changing the frequency of information or reporting 
requirements as they relate to the application, certification, and 
continue eligibility of households would result in a direct violation 
of the Act and its implementing regulations. Further, benefits could be 
overissued or underissued for a long period of time if necessary 
information is not collected or actions are not taken timely.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal Government; 
Individuals or household.
    Number of Respondents: 14,622,419.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion; 
Monthly; Quarterly.
    Total Burden Hours: 118,221,440.
