SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Information Collection: FNS–

583, Employment and Training Program 

Activity Report. 

OMB Number: 0584–0339. 

Expiration Date: June 30, 2005. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: 7 CFR 273.7(c)(8) requires 

State agencies to submit quarterly 

Employment and Training (E&T) 

Program Activity Reports containing 

monthly figures for participation in the 

program. The Food and Nutrition 

Service (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 

food stamps 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 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% 

exemption allowance. 

• On the fourth quarter report, the 

total number of individuals who 

participated in each component, which 

is also sorted by ABAWD and nonABAWD participants, and the number 

of individuals who participated in the 

E&T Program during the fiscal year. 

7 CFR 273.7(d)(1)(i)(F) 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 initial E&T allocations 

are made, State agencies may request 

more funds, as needed. Typically, FNS 

receives nine such requests per year. 

The burden is being revised by adding 

10.23 hours to it to account for the time 

it takes States to prepare these requests. 

After receiving the State requests FNS 

will reallocate unexpended funds as 

provided above. Following is the 

revised estimated burden for E&T 

reporting including the burden for State 

agencies to request additional funds.
