Comments regarding this information

be considered. Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be 

submitted within 30 days of the 

publication of this notice on the

Food Safety and Inspection Service 

Title: Analyzing Consumers’ Value of 

‘‘Product of USA’’ Labeling Claims. 

OMB Control Number: 0583–New. 

Summary of Collection: The U.S. 

Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) 

Food Safety and Inspection Service 

(FSIS) has been delegated the authority 

to exercise the functions of the Secretary 

(7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), as specified in the 

Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 

U.S.C. 601, et seq.) and Poultry Products 

Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 453 et seq.). 

This statute mandates that FSIS protect 

the public by verifying that meat and 

poultry products are safe, wholesome, 

unadulterated, and properly labeled and 

packaged. The FSIS Food Standards and 

Labeling Policy Book (the ‘‘Policy 

Book’’) provides guidance to help meat 

and poultry product manufacturers 

prepare product labels that are truthful 

and not misleading. 

The ‘‘Policy Book’’ states that labeling 

may bear the phrase ‘‘Product of USA’’ 

under one of the following conditions: 

(1) If the country to which the product

is exported requires this phrase, and the

product is processed in the United

States or (2) if the product is processed

in the United States (i.e., is of domestic

origin).

Need and Use of the Information: 

FSIS will conduct a web-based survey/ 

experiment that will address three 

primary research questions: (1) Do 

consumers notice the ‘‘Product of USA’’ 

labeling claim?; (2) Do consumers 

understand the current ‘‘Product of 

USA’’ definition and other ‘‘USDA’’ 

labeling (e.g., ‘‘USDA Choice’’) as it 

relates to country of origin?; and (3) 

How much are consumers willing to pay 

for meat products bearing the ‘‘Product 

of USA’’ labeling claim for the current 

definition and potential revised 

definitions (e.g., if the meat were from 

an animal that was born, raised, 

slaughtered, and processed in the 

United States)? 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals or households. 

Number of Respondents: 9,873. 

Frequency of Responses: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 1,815. 

Dated: April 14, 2022.

Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Annual State Report on 

Verification of Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program (SNAP) 

Participation. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0605. 

Summary of Collection: SNAP 

regulations at 7 CFR 273.16 require that 

State agencies disqualify an individual 

who has committed an intentional 

program violation (IPV). Paragraph 7 

CFR 273.16(e)(8) requires that these 

individuals ‘‘be disqualified in 

accordance with the disqualification 

periods and procedures in paragraph (b) 

of this section’’ (273.16(b)). Paragraph 7 

CFR 273.16(i) requires State agencies to 

report information concerning each 

individual disqualified for an IPV to the 

disqualified recipient database, the 

electronic Disqualified Recipient 

System (eDRS), and to use eDRS data to 

determine the eligibility of individual 

applicants prior to certification. SNAP 

regulations at 7 CFR 272.14 require that 

each State agency establish a system to 

verify and ensure that benefits are not 

issued to individuals who are deceased, 

and that data source is the Social 

Security Administration’s (SSA) Death 

Master File. The information required 

for the Annual State Report on 

Verification of SNAP Participation is 

obtained by validating that the State had 

the appropriate systems in place and 

followed procedures currently 

mandated at 7 CFR 272.14 and 7 CFR 

273.16 for the preceding fiscal year. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

information required for the Annual 

State Report on Verification of SNAP 

Participation is obtained by validating 

that the State agency had the 

appropriate systems in place and 

followed procedures currently 

mandated at 7 CFR 272.14 and 7 CFR 

273.16 for the preceding fiscal year. 

State agencies must annually confirm, 

by stating in one email to their FNS 

Regional SNAP Program Director, that 

the appropriate systems were in place in 

the State to meet the requirements of 

regulations at 7 CFR 272.14 and 

273.16(i)(4), and that they conducted 

the matches required by these 

regulations. States are required to 

submit their Section 4032 reports to the 

FNS Regional SNAP Director by March 

31 each year for the preceding Federal 

fiscal year. 7 CFR 272.1(f) mandates that 

State agencies are required to retain all 

records associated with the 

administration of SNAP for no less than 

3 years.

Local, or Tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 106.

Title: Uniform Grant Application 

Package for Discretionary Grant 

Programs. 

Form Number: SF–424 Form, SF–LLL, 

FNS–908, FNS–887. 

OMB Number: 0584–0512. 

Expiration Date: July 31, 2022. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: FNS has a number of 

discretionary grant programs. 

(Consistent with the definition in 2 CFR 

part 200, the term ‘‘grant’’ as used in 

this notice includes cooperative 

agreements.) The authorities for these 

grants vary and will be cited as part of 

each grant application solicitation. The 

purpose of the revision to the currently 

approved collection for the Uniform 

Grant Application Package for 

Discretionary Grant Programs is to 

continue the authority for the 

established uniform grant application 

package and to update the number of 

collection burden hours, accounting for 

noncompetitive grants issued by FNS 

into this information collection request 

package. FNS is revising the uniform 

collection package to allow and account 

for all of FNS’ competitive and 

noncompetitive discretionary grant 

programs to collect information from 

grant applicants that are needed to 

evaluate and rank applicants and 

protect the integrity of the grantee 

selection process. This revision also 

encompasses the submittal of associated 

State Plan information and the use of 

program-specific forms, including but 

not limited to, Form FNS–887 Farm to
