(FNS), USDA. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule updates the 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program (SNAP) civil rights assurance 

template language for the Federal-State 

Agreement. These updates do not 

contain any new requirements and 

would codify protections already 

required by Federal law and existing 

policy. 

DATES: This rule is effective August 15, 

2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This final rule updates the SNAP 

Federal-State Agreement (FSA) civil 

rights assurance language to reflect 

protections already required by Federal 

law. The FSA is the legal agreement 

between the Department of Agriculture 

(the Department) and the State agency 

by which the State elects to operate 

SNAP, doing so in accordance with the 

Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (the 

Act), SNAP regulations, the State Plan 

of Operation (State Plan), civil rights 

laws, and civil rights regulations. The 

Act requires that each State operating 

SNAP have a State Plan specifying 

details as to how the State conducts the 

program. The State Plan contains forms, 

plans, agreements, policy descriptions, 

and policy options required by Federal 

regulation and is cleared under OMB 

No. 0584–0083, Expiration date 08/31/ 

2023. Program requirements at 7 CFR 

272.2(a)(2) include the FSA as one such 

required component of the State Plan. 

Although the State agency may 

propose alternative language that both 

the Department and the State agency 

may mutually agree to modify or 

supplement, requirements at 7 CFR 

272.2(b)(1) contain standard FSA 

language for State agencies operating 

SNAP. As a Federal program, civil rights 

protections for SNAP applicants and 

recipients are important and essential. 

Codifying civil rights protections is vital 

to the success of SNAP because it 

supports the Department in providing 

equitable and superior customer service 

to all SNAP applicants and recipients. 

The protections included in this rule 

will prevent discrimination and 

systemic racism in the SNAP program 

that could negatively impact program 

access and outcomes. Integrating 

additional civil rights language into the 

FSA ensures a consistent application of 

these practices across the program. On 

November 17, 2016, at (81 FR 81015) the 

Department proposed a revision to the 

standard FSA language at 7 CFR 

272.2(b)(1) in order to update this 

critical language to codify protections 

already required by Federal law and 

existing policy. The Department 

received five comments on the proposed 

rule. Two comments were outside the 

scope of this rulemaking and the 

remaining three were strongly 

supportive of the proposed changes. The 

supportive comments agreed with FNS’ 

actions to strengthen civil rights 

protections in SNAP. 

Since standard FSA language was first 

established in SNAP regulations, 

Congress has passed additional civil 

rights legislation and more uniform 

administrative procedures have been 

established to support effective 

enforcement of the civil rights 

protections. Further, the U.S. 

Department of Justice (DOJ) 

recommended the addition of updated 

references in the Department’s civil 

rights-related materials. The Department 

understands that similar language has 

been incorporated into agreements in 

other Federal agencies and has 

incorporated similar language in 

agreements in the Department’s Child 

Nutrition Program and Women, Infants 

and Children (WIC) program, and Food 

Distribution programs. The Department 

also notes, by way of background, that 

the FSA in SNAP is unique within the 

Department’s programs in that most 

other comparable agreements are not 

contained in the Federal regulations but 

in forms formally approved by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). 

This final rule incorporates references 

to additional civil rights legislation into 

the standard FSA language at section 

272.2. Those references include Title IX 

of the Education Amendments of 1972 

(20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.), the Age 

Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 

6101 et seq.), Title II and Title III of the 

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 

(ADA), as amended by the ADA 

Amendments Act of 2008 (42 U.S.C. 

12131–12189), and Executive Order 

13166, ‘‘Improving Access to Persons 

with Limited English Proficiency.’’ This 

final rule will incorporate those 

provisions into the regulations at 7 CFR 

272.2(b)(1). The Department received no 

adverse comments on these revisions 

and is finalizing as proposed. 

The Department also proposed to 

include language that would require 

States to comply with Department 

instructions, policy guidance, and other 

written directions. Departmental 

instructions, policy guidance, and 

written directions derive from statutory 

and regulatory authority and clarify 

existing legal requirements. Referencing 

those materials in the regulation is 

unnecessary, therefore the Department 

is removing such language. Therefore, 

the Department is not including 

reference to Department instructions, 

policy guidance, and other written 

directions in 7 CFR 272.2(b)(1). 

In addition to updating the template 

language with references to additional 

civil rights legislation, the proposed rule 

identified additional language for 

inclusion based upon DOJ’s 

recommendations. This includes 

denoting the Department’s ability to 

track, analyze, and enforce the civil 

rights protections denoted in the FSA. 

Within these changes, the Department 

proposed to add that the State agency 

agreeing to follow civil rights 

requirements in the FSA is made in 

consideration of and for the purposes of 

obtaining Federal financial assistance. 

Next, the rule proposed to incorporate 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
35856 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 14, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

the State agency’s existing obligation to 

compile data, maintain records, and 

submit records and reports as required 

to allow for effective enforcement of the 

civil rights provisions. This would 

include an assurance to allow 

Department personnel to review and 

access records, access facilities and 

interview personnel to ascertain 

compliance with nondiscrimination 

laws. Finally, the rule proposed to 

codify procedures to support 

enforcement of the nondiscrimination 

protections by updating the FSA to 

include a provision that the Department 

may seek judicial enforcement for 

violations of the FSA, adding assurances 

that the State agency and its successors 

are bound by the FSA. Again, these 

provisions would not only be 

responsive to DOJ’s suggestions 

regarding nondiscrimination 

compliance language but also mirror 

language in other USDA programs. The 

Department received no adverse 

comments on these revisions and is 

finalizing as proposed. 

FSAs, once signed by the chief 

executive officer of a State or authorized 

designee, are valid under 7 CFR 

272.2(e)(1) until they are terminated. 

The Department will now refer to the 

‘‘chief executive officer of a State’’ as 

the FSA signatory in 7 CFR 272.2(b)(1), 

in lieu of the term ‘‘Governor.’’ While 

not originally included in the proposed 

rule, the Department is making this 

technical change to SNAP regulations in 

this final rule to account for the District 

of Columbia’s governance structure. 

Section 272.2(e)(1) also provides that 

the FSA must be signed and submitted 

to FNS within 120 days after the 

publication of the regulations in final 

form and shall remain in effect until 

terminated. Although initially included 

in the regulations with other regulatory 

FSA requirements, the same procedure 

would apply to this update. Given the 

publication date of this final rule, all 

State agencies will update this language 

in the FSA at the time of their next State 

Plan submission and provide a copy of 

the same to the Department within 120 

days of the effective date. Although 

State agencies are already required to 

abide by the new civil rights language 

as stated above, the Department believes 

it is important to incorporate the 

updated language at section 272.2(b)(1) 

in the FSA itself. 

Procedural Matters 

Executive Order 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). Executive Order 13563 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, of 

reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, 

and of promoting flexibility. 

This final rule has been determined to 

be not significant and was not reviewed 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) in conformance with 

Executive Order 12866. 

Regulatory Impact Analysis 

This rule has been designated as not 

significant by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB), therefore, no 

Regulatory Impact Analysis is required. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601–612) requires Agencies to 

analyze the impact of rulemaking on 

small entities and consider alternatives 

that would minimize any significant 

impacts on a substantial number of 

small entities. Pursuant to that review, 

it has been certified that this rule would 

not have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

This final rule would not have an 

impact on small entities because the 

changes required by the regulations are 

primarily directed toward State agencies 

operating SNAP programs. 

Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs 

designated this rule as not a ‘major rule’ 

as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public 

Law 104–4, establishes requirements for 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their regulatory actions on State, local 

and tribal governments and the private 

sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, 

the Department generally must prepare 

a written statement, including a cost 

benefit analysis, for proposed and final 

rules with ‘‘Federal mandates’’ that may 

result in expenditures by State, local or 

tribal governments, in the aggregate, or 

the private sector, of $100 million or 

more in any one year. When such a 

statement is needed for a rule, section 

205 of the UMRA generally requires the 

Department to identify and consider a 

reasonable number of regulatory 

alternatives and adopt the most cost 

effective or least burdensome alternative 

that achieves the objectives of the rule. 

This final rule does not contain 

Federal mandates (under the regulatory 

provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for 

State, local and tribal governments or 

the private sector of $100 million or 

more in any one year. Thus, the rule is 

not subject to the requirements of 

sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA. 

Executive Order 12372 

State administrative matching grants 

for SNAP are listed in the Catalog of 

Federal Domestic Assistance Programs 

under 10.561. For the reasons set forth 

in the final rule in 7 CFR part 3015, 

subpart V, and related Notice (48 FR 

29114, June 24, 1983), this program is 

included in the scope of Executive 

Order 12372, which requires 

intergovernmental consultation with 

State and local officials. The 

Department issued guidance in June 

2016 to State agencies, and continues to 

do so annually, as part of a larger effort 

to help States ensure their State Plans 

are complete and up to date, which in 

part included direction to State agencies 

to incorporate updated civil rights 

provisions as an addendum to existing 

FSAs. 

Federalism Summary Impact Statement 

Executive Order 13132 requires 

Federal agencies to consider the impact 

of their regulatory actions on State and 

local governments. Where such actions 

have federalism implications, agencies 

are directed to provide a statement for 

inclusion in the preamble to the 

regulations describing the agency’s 

considerations in terms of the three 

categories called for under section 

(6)(b)(2)(B) of Executive Order 13132. 

The Department has considered the 

impact of this rule on State and local 

governments and has determined that 

this rule does not have significant 

federalism implications. State agencies 

will be required to update the standard 

language contained in FSAs once if they 

have not already incorporated updated 

civil rights provisions through an 

addendum to their existing FSA. 

Therefore, under section 6(b) of the 

Executive Order, a federalism summary 

is not required. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform 

This final rule has been reviewed 

under Executive Order 12988, Civil 

Justice Reform. This rule is intended to 

have preemptive effect with respect to 

any State or local laws, regulations or 

policies that conflict with its provisions 

or that would otherwise impede its full 

and timely implementation. This rule is 

not intended to have retroactive effect.

Civil Rights Impact Analysis 

FNS has reviewed the final rule, in 

accordance with Department Regulation 

4300–004, Civil Rights Impact Analysis, 

to identify and address any major civil 

rights impacts the final rule might have 

on minorities, women, and persons with 

disabilities. The changes to SNAP 

regulations in this final rule are to 

incorporate references to additional 

civil rights legislation into the standard 

FSA language. After careful review of 

the rule’s intent and provisions, FNS 

believes that the promulgation of this 

final rule will incorporate the State 

agency’s existing obligation within 

FSAs. Additionally, the rule will likely 

result in improved, equitable, and 

superior customer service to all SNAP 

applicants and recipients. 

Executive Order 13175 

Executive Order 13175 requires 

Federal agencies to consult and 

coordinate with Tribes on a 

government-to-government basis on 

policies that have Tribal implications, 

including regulations, legislative 

comments or proposed legislation, and 

other policy statements or actions that 

have substantial direct effects on one or 

more Indian Tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian Tribes. 

The Department notes that the 

regulatory changes finalized in this rule 

impact program applicants and 

participants equally regardless of Tribal 

status or residence. The Department is 

unaware of any current Tribal laws that 

could be in conflict with the final rule. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. Chap. 35; 5 CFR 1320) 

requires the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approve all collections of 

information by a Federal agency before 

they can be implemented. Respondents 

are not required to respond to any 

collection of information unless it 

displays a current valid OMB control 

number. 

The provisions in this final rule do 

not contain new, revised or altered 

information collection requirements 

subject to approval by OMB under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 

Department anticipates that this rule 

would have no to minimal time and cost 

impacts on the Federal Government and 

State agencies. State agencies are 

already required to follow the 

requirements contained in the added 

nondiscrimination references. Any 

existing time and cost burden would be 

related to administrative obligations to 

sign an updated Federal-State 

Agreement and to ensure appropriate 

recordkeeping to support enforcement 

of the nondiscrimination provisions as 

cleared under OMB Control Number 

0584–0083; Expiration Date: 08/2023. 

FNS provides 50 percent of SNAP’s 

administrative cost reimbursement and 

so a portion of any minimal 

administrative costs would be offset by 

federal funding. 

Since State agencies are already 

required to have these agreements, the 

impact of this provision is insignificant 

to the reporting or recordkeeping 

burden activities required under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act and therefore 

will not change the burden estimates 

already approved under OMB Number 

0584–0083; Expiration Date: 08/2023. If 

FNS determines estimates have 

increased significantly, the Agency will 

publish a 60-day Federal Register 

Notice to seek OMB approval. Other 

minimal burdens imposed on State 

agencies by implementation of this final 

rule are usual and customary within the 

course of their normal business 

activities. 

E-Government Act Compliance 

The Department is committed to 

complying with the E-Government Act 

of 2002, to promote the use of the 

internet and other information 

technologies to provide increased 

opportunities for citizen access to 

Government information and services, 

and for other purposes.
