Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Waivers Under Section 6(o) of 

the Food and Nutrition Act. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0479. 

Summary of Collection: This is a 

renewal of an existing information 

collection. Section 824 of the Personal 

Responsibility and Work Opportunity 

Reconciliation Act of 1996, Public Law 

104–193 (PRWORA) establishes a time 

limit for the receipt of Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 

benefits for certain able-bodied adults 

who are not working. The provision 

authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture, 

upon a State agency’s request, to waive 

the provision for any group of 

individuals if the Secretary determines 

‘‘that the areas in which the individuals 

reside has an unemployment rate of 

over 10 percent or does not have a 

sufficient number of jobs to provide 

employment for the individuals.’’ 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

Food and Nutrition Service uses the 

information provided by State SNAP 

agencies to evaluate whether the 

statutory requirements for a waiver of 

the SNAP time limit have been met and 

to determine specifically whether the 

designated areas’ unemployment rate is 

over ten percent or if there is a lack of 

sufficient jobs available. If the 

information is not collected, the State 

SNAP agencies could not obtain waivers 

of time limits contained in Section 6(o) 

of the Act. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

Local, or Tribal Government; 

Individuals or household; Federal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 53.

Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program (SNAP) PreScreening Tool. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0519. 

Summary of Collection: This is a 

renewal of an existing information 

collection. Consistent with Section 5 of 

the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as 

amended, the Food and Nutrition 

Service (FNS) has developed the 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program (SNAP) Pre-Screening Tool to 

enable applicants to assess their 

eligibility and the order of magnitude of 

the potential benefit for which they may 

qualify. This Pre-Screening Tool also 

enables citizen advocacy groups to help 

constituents assess their benefit 

eligibility. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

SNAP Pre-Screening Tool is accessible 

to the public as an online web-based 

system. The user is prompted to enter 

household size, income, expenses and 

resource information, and the tool 

calculates and provides the user with an 

estimated range of benefits that the 

household may be eligible to receive. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals or households. 

Number of Respondents: 402,534. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting:

renewal of an existing information 

collection. The Office of Management 

and Budget Circular No. A–130, 

Appendix III, Security of Federal 

Automated Information Resources, 

dated February 8, 1996, established a 

minimum set of controls to be included 

in Federal automated information 

security programs. Establishing personal 

controls to screen users to allow access 

to an authorized system is directed in 

this appendix. The Food and Nutrition 

Service (FNS) User Access Request 

Form, FNS–674, is designed for this 

purpose and will be used in all 

situations where access to an FNS 

computer system is required, where 

current access is required to be 

modified, or where access is no longer 

required and must be deleted. Users 

who access FNS systems are: State 

agencies, other Federal agencies, FNS 

Regional offices, FNS Field offices, FNS 

Compliance Offices, staff contractors, 

and FNS headquarters staff. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

State Coordinator is responsible for 

ensuring that State users and entities 

comply with the FNS Information 

Systems Security Guidelines and the 

Procedures Handbook 702 developed for 

State systems for their use in 

maintaining proper controls over FNS 

security features used by State clients. 

The information to be collected is:

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Lacey Act Declaration 

Requirements; Plants and Plant 

Products. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0349. 

Summary of Collection: The Lacey 

Act, first enacted in 1900 and 

significantly amended in 1988, is the 

United States’ oldest Wildlife Protection 

Statute. The Act combats trafficking in 

‘‘illegal’’ wildlife, fish, or plants. The 

Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 

2008, which took effect May 22, 2008, 

amended the Lacey Act by expanding its 

protection to a broader range of plants 

and plant products (Section 8204, 

Prevention of Illegal Logging Practices). 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Under the amended Lacey Act, 

importers are required to submit a 

declaration form (PPQ 505) for all 

plants. The PPQ 505B is the 

supplemental form which is provided 

the declarer if additional space is 

needed to enter the required 

information. The declaration must 

contain, among other things, the 

scientific name of the plant, value of the 

importation, quantity of the plant, and 

name of the country from which the 

plant was harvested. If species varies or 

is unknown, importers will have to 

declare the name of each species that 

may have been used to produce the 

product. This information will be used 

to support investigations into illegal 

logging practices by the Justice 

Department and also acts as a deterrent 

to illegal logging practices worldwide. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 17,140.
