collection.

Abstract: Title 7 CFR Part 273 of the

Food Stamp Program (Program)

regulations sets forth the requirements

for food stamp household application,

certification, and continued eligibility

for food stamp benefits.

Ending use of FCS-designed

certification related forms. Section 835

of Pub. L. 104–193, the Personal

Responsibility and Work Opportunity

Reconciliation Act of 1996, amended

section 11(e)(2) of the Food Stamp Act

of 1977 (the Act), 7 U.S.C. 2020(e)(2), to

revoke the mandate that the Food and

Consumer Service (FCS) develop a

model application form which States are

required to use. Prior to this

amendment, FCS approval was required

for use of a State-designed deviation

from the model application form.

Section 11(e)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act now

makes State agencies responsible for

developing an application for

participation requiring information

necessary to comply with the

certification provisions of the Act. In the

past, FCS undertook the task of

developing and updating several forms

relating to certification of Program

applications and distributed them to

State agencies. States had the option of

using these forms or developing their

own as long as they met the

requirements described in the Program

regulations. Because FCS is no longer

responsible for designing uniform

certification forms, include a model

application form, FCS is proposing to

discontinue all the FCS model

certification forms. State agencies are

expected to design their own forms to

document the certification activities

described in the regulations. The

information collection, reporting, or

recordkeeping burden associated with

each application/certification action

remains in effect and will continue to be

reported to OMB.

In addition, while this notice

addresses the proposed burden

associated with extending OMB

approval of all line items currently

covered under OMB No. 0584–0064, we

intend to separate the burden described

and submit two separate information

collection packages to OMB for

approval. One package will include only

application and certification related

burden as described in items 1 through

11 below and will be entitled

‘‘Application and Certification of Food

Stamp Program Households.’’ The

remaining burden (items 12 through 14)

will be submitted to OMB for approval

separately in order to capture burden

associated with all fraud related

activities under one separate and

distinct OMB approval number. The

FCS model notices associated with these

fraud activities will also be

discontinued. State agencies will design

their own notices.

The estimated burden hours

associated with Program applications is

derived from using a base figure of

18,300,000 which is the average number

of applications received each year based

on data obtained from the FCS–366B

report submitted by State agencies to

FCS. The 18,300,000 estimated figure

includes both those applications which

are approved for participation and those

that are rejected. Thus, the actual

number of application forms filed will

always exceed the number of

households actually participating in the

program.

The actual number of households

currently receiving food stamps is

approximately 10,900,000 (hereafter

referred to as the caseload) as reported

by the FCS–388 report. This figure is

used in computing burden associated

with participating households. This

figure is also the basis for determining

burden imposed on local agency staff

who deal with households on a daily

basis. Due to a lack of data on the

number of local staff and/or the number

of food stamp cases each staff person

handles in a given year. FCS assumes
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 24 / Wednesday, February 5, 1997 / Notices 5381

there is one local agency worker per

applicant/participating household.

Proposed estimated information

collection and recordkeeping burden

hours associated with burden approved

under OMB No. 0584–0064 are outlined

below and adjusted to reflect recent

data:

(1) Application burden. State agencies

must design an application which

contains the information necessary to

comply with the eligibility requirements

of the Act. Households must complete

an application in order to obtain

benefits. The number of burden hours

assumes that all applicants will

complete the entire application because

no data is available on the number of

households that complete only part of

the application. Number of respondents

is equal to the number of initial and

recertification applications received

annually as reported by State agencies

on form FNS–366B, Program Activity

Statement. The data assumes, on

average, that each applicant will file

either one initial or one recertification

application yearly. Household burden to

complete an application is estimated to

be 13.274 minutes (or .2290 hours).

(2) Calculating food stamp eligibility

through use of a worksheet. An

application worksheet is used by

eligibility workers to make income and

resource eligibility determinations and

calculate benefit levels for households.

A worksheet will be used with 80%

(14,640,000) of all applications received;

25% (2,289,000) of all change in

circumstances report forms received (as

discussed below); and 16% (3,348,480)

of all monthly report forms received (as

discussed below). Based on these

estimates, the total average number of

worksheets processed annually is

estimated to be 20,277,480. Average

time to complete a worksheet is

estimated at 27.837 minutes (or .4640

hours).

(3) Monthly reporting burden. State

agencies have the option to require

certain households to report information

on a monthly basis. These households

must complete a monthly report form,

designed by the State agency, in order

to meet the monthly reporting

requirements. The estimated number of

households who submit monthly reports

is 16% of the total number of

households participating in the Program

(1,744,000). This amount is multiplied

by 12 months to determine the total

number of monthly reports. Burden to

complete this form is estimated to be

9.702 minutes (or .1617 hours) per form.

(4) Explaining monthly reporting to

households. Where State agencies have

opted for monthly reporting, the process

must be explained to affected

households. Eligibility workers will

explain the monthly reporting process at

least once to 16% of the total number

of households participating in the

Program (1,744,000). Explaining

monthly reporting is estimated to be a

burden of 4.998 minutes (or .0833

hours) per household.

(5) Households reporting changes in

circumstances. Households not required

to monthly report, including those

subject to less frequent periodic

reporting, must report certain changes

in household circumstances as they

occur anything during the certification

period. It is estimated that one change

report form will be submitted annually

by non-monthly reporting households

which represents about 84% of the total

caseload (9,156,000). Estimated time to

complete this form is 9.703 minutes (or

.1617 hours).

(6) Notice to monthly reporting

households of late/incomplete monthly

reports. Monthly households must be

given additional time to file a late report

or to provide missing information or

verification. It is estimated that 5%

(1,046,400) of the monthly reports

expected to be received (10,928,000)

will be late or incomplete resulting in

the use of such a notice. Reporting

burden is estimated to be 6.69 minutes

(or .1115 hours) per notice.

(7) Informing households about action

taken on their food stamp case. Each

household that submits an initial

application or a re-application must

receive notification of the action taken

by the State agency. The notice contains

one of three actions: notice of eligibility,

denial notice, or notice of pending

status. Estimates are based on the need

to provide this notice to 18,300,000

households annually. It is estimated that

it takes a caseworker 6.69 minutes (or

.1115 hours) to prepare this form.

(8) Notifying households of the

expiration of their certification periods.

Households must be provided with a

notice of expiration regarding the

certification process and the need to

reapply for benefits. It is estimated that

10% of the caseload (those certified for

less than 6 months) will submit two reapplications a year; 24% of the caseload

(those certified for six months) will

submit one re-application; and 66% of

the caseload (those certified for more

than six months) will submit either an

application for recertification or an

initial application. Only half (3,598,500)

of the households certified for more

than six months will be applying for

recertification. Eligibility workers will

generate notices of expiration an average

of .745 times per household, for a total

of 8,120,500 (10,900,000×.745). The

estimated preparation time for this form

is 4.998 minutes (or .0833 hours) per

form.

(9) Informing households about a

reduction in their food stamps. Nonmonthly reporting households which

submit a change in circumstances report

form must receive a written notice of

any action to reduce or terminate

benefits in advance of the date the

action will become effective. It is

estimated that 50% of change reports

received will result in reduction or

termination of benefits which require

eligibility workers to provide this

notice. On average, caseworkers will

generate 4,578,000 of these notices

annually with a preparation time of 9.96

minutes (or .1666 hours) for each notice.

(10) Adequate notice to monthly

reporting households. Monthly

reporting households must receive

written notice that their benefits will be

or have been increased, reduced or

terminated. It is estimated that 30% of

the monthly reports (6,083,244) received

by caseworkers will result in an

increase, a reduction or a termination of

benefits. The remaining 70% of monthly

reports have no change in benefits, so

no notice is necessary. It is estimated

that it takes caseworkers 6.69 minutes

(or .1115 hours) to prepare this notice.

(11) Sponsored aliens. Recently

enacted legislation has affected the food

stamp eligibility of ‘‘sponsored aliens,’’

that is, aliens lawfully admitted for

permanent residence in the United

States. Section 421 of Pub. L. 104–193

requires that all of an alien sponsor’s

income and resources and all the

sponsor’s spouse’s income and

resources be attributed to the alien until

he becomes a U.S. citizen or has worked

40 qualifying quarters for any period

beginning after December 31, 1996. In

addition, Section 421 requires that the

alien not have received any Federal

means-tested public benefit during this

period in order to be eligible to begin

receiving a Federal means-tested public

benefit such as food stamps. At the same

time, various other sections of P.L. 104–

193 establish new participation

requirements for aliens in general and

more restrictive conditions for alien

immigrants in particular. For Food

Stamp Program purposes, during the

period that P.L. 104–193 requires the

attribution of the sponsor’s income, any

sponsored alien without 40 qualifying

quarters would already be ineligible for

food stamps pursuant to Section 6(f) of

the Act, 7 U.S.C. § 2015(F). However,

Section 510 of Pub. L. 104–208 requires

State agencies to recertify currently

participating alien households during

the period April 1, 1997 to August 22,

1997. Information obtained from the

Immigration and Naturalization Service
5382 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 24 / Wednesday, February 5, 1997 / Notices

by FCS showed that approximately

100,000 aliens were approved each year

as lawful permanent residents. Of the

100,000 aliens approved for lawful

permanent residence each year, it is

assumed that 5% will actually apply for

food stamps at least once during any

given year. The potential number of

annual responses is estimated to be

5,000. Burden is estimated to be 30

minutes (or .5000 hours) per response.

(12) Demand Letter for Overissuance.

State agencies are required to establish

a claim and send a demand letter for

repayment when food stamp benefits are

overissued either as a result of a

household error, State agency error, or

an intentional Program violation. A

demand letter is used for this purpose.

Based on data reporting the number of

new claims established for FY 1995

(form FCS–209), State agencies

generated demand letters for about .07

percent of the caseload. On average,

7.698 minutes (or .1283 hrs.) is required

to compose a demand letter.

(130 Advance Notice of

Administrative Disqualification

Hearing. Household members suspected

of committing an intentional Program

violation must be provided with

advance notice of a State agency’s intent

to disqualify them from participation in

the Program which, among other things,

announces the date of disqualification

hearing, the charge against the

household, summarizes the evidence,

and explains the consequences of a

guilty finding by the hearing officials.

Based on reports of the number of

disqualification hearings held in FY

1995 (form FCS–336B), State agencies

generate this notice for about .004

percent of the caseload at a rate of 15

minutes (or .2500 hrs.) per notice.

(14) Action Taken on Administrative

Disqualification Hearing. Household

members subject to an administrative

disqualification hearing must receive

written notice of a guilty or not guilty

finding by the hearing official. The

notice also explains, among other

things, the reason for the decision and

the date program disqualification, if

appropriate, will take effect. Data

contained in the FCS–366B report

indicates that, State agencies generate

this notice for .002 percent of the

caseload annually at a rate of 9.996

minutes (or .1666 hrs.) per notice.

Recordkeeping Burden

Case records: Local agencies are

required to maintain client case records

for three years and to perform duplicate

participation checks on individual

household members to reduce the

possibility of duplicate participation.

The burden estimates for casefile

maintenance are based on an estimated

number of casefiles, the number of

records in the casefiles and assumes one

recordkeeper per State (53 State welfare

agencies). Using this methodology,

average burden per recordkeeper is

estimated to be 685,466.038 hours

(36,329,700 hours/53 recordkeepers).

Monitoring Duplicate Participation:

The estimated annual recordkeeping

burden to perform duplicate

participation checks is based on the

average number of persons (2.442) in

each food stamp household. The

estimated number of applications is

18,300,000. The estimated average

number of persons who must be

checked is 44,688,600

(18,300,000×2.442). Burden is estimated

to be 15 seconds or (or.0042 hours) per

eligibility worker, which results in an

estimated annual recordkeeping burden

of hours of 187,692.120

(44,688,600×.0042). The average burden

hours per recordkeeper is estimated to

be 9,947,682.360 (187,692.120 hours×53

recordkeepers).

Affected Public: State and local

governments; potential program

applicants and currently participating

households.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

18,305,000.

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: 5.9461573.
