SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Employment and Training Program Activity Report. OMB Number: 0584-0339. Expiration Date: June 30, 2014. Type of Request: Extension without revision of a currently approved collection. Abstract: 7 CFR 273.7(c)(9) requires State agencies to submit quarterly E&T Program Activity Reports containing monthly figures for participation in the program. FNS uses Form FNS-583, to collect participation data. The information collected on the FNS-583 report includes:On the first quarter report, the number of work registrants receiving SNAP as of October 1 of the new fiscal year; On each quarterly report, by month, the number of new work registrants; the number of able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs) applicants and recipients participating in qualifying components; the number of all other applicants and recipients (including ABAWDs involved in non-qualifying activities) participating in components; and the number of ABAWDs exempt under the State agency's 15 percent exemption allowance; On the fourth quarter report, the total number of individuals who participated in each component, which is also sorted by ABAWD and non-ABAWD participants and the number of individuals who participated in the E&T Program during the fiscal year. 7 CFR 273.7(d)(1)(i)(D) provides that if a State agency will not expend all of the funds allocated to it for a fiscal year, FNS will reallocate unexpended funds to other State agencies during the fiscal year or the subsequent fiscal year as FNS considers appropriate and equitable. After FNS makes initial E&T allocations, State agencies may request more funds as needed. Typically FNS receives fourteen such requests per year. The time it takes to prepare these requests is included in the burden. After receiving the State requests, FNS will reallocate unexpended funds as provided above. The following is the estimated burden for E&T reporting including the burden for State agencies to request additional funds. Reporting FNS-583 Report Frequency: 4. Affected Public: State Agency. Number of Respondents: 53. Number of Responses: 684. (Note this reflects multiple responses within the FNS-583 form; In aggregate, 53 State Agencies submit 1 form each quarter or 212 total responses per year.)
