[[Page 97621]]

with minor revisions, for an additional three years. State agencies 
administering their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 
provide the annual performance report to OCSS in accordance with the 
computer matching agreement between state SNAP agencies and OCSS. The 
current OMB approval expires on February 28, 2025.

DATES: Comments due January 8, 2025. The Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) must make a decision about the collection of information 
between 30 and 60 days after publication of this document in the 
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment is best assured of having its 
full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. You can 
also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by 
emailing [email protected]. Identify all emailed requests by 
the title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: State agencies administering SNAP are mandated to 
participate in a computer matching program with OCSS. The matching 
program compares SNAP applicant and recipient information with 
employment and wage information maintained in the National Directory of 
New Hires (NDNH). The outcomes of the compared information help State 
SNAP agencies verify an individual's identity and determine a benefit 
eligibility. To receive NDNH information, state agencies enter into a 
computer matching agreement and adhere to its terms and conditions, 
including providing OCSS with annual performance outcomes attributable 
to the use of NDNH information. To fulfill OMB requirements, OCSS 
periodically reports performance measurements demonstrating how the use 
of information in the NDNH supports the OCSS strategic mission, goals, 
and objectives. These periodic reports include information derived from 
state SNAP agency annual NDNH performance reports. OCSS provides states 
with required performance report template and instructions, which OCSS 
revised to update the submission contacts and formatting, improve 
grammar, and to change ``Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)'' 
to ``Office of Child Support Services (OCSS).''
    Respondents: State SNAP Agencies.
