International Development (USAID), is 

announcing that it is requesting 

emergency approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for a

help strengthen, empower, and support 

our global workforce.

a request for emergency approval of new 

information collection from the agency’s 

workforce on DEIA, including U.S. 

Direct Hires (permanent and temporary) 

U.S. Personal Services Contractors,

other expanded demographic categories 

in 6 main areas on a 5-point Likert scale,

Description of Proposed Use of 

Information

a digital survey and used by the 

workforce to capture the viewpoints and 

perceptions of USAID headquarters and 

overseas employees across all hiring 

mechanisms and at all grades and ranks; 

allow for data disaggregation by Bureau, 

Independent Office, and Mission; 

provide data for analysis to support 

evidence-based and data-driven 

approaches to determine whether and to 

what extent Agency policies programs, 

and practices present barriers to equal 

and equitable and opportunities and 

employment outcomes and what needs 

to be changed or developed to remove 

said barriers; and to support USAID 

efforts to monitor and report on DEIA 

and EEO program effectiveness, 

enabling continuous program 

improvement. 

Time Burden 

OMB’s approval enables USAID to 

engage 11,000 respondents. Each 

respondent will be able to provide 20 

minutes in participation time, totaling 

3,666 estimated time burden of this 

proposed information collection.

BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Agriculture has 

submitted the following information 

collection requirement(s) to OMB for 

review and clearance under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. Comments are 

requested regarding; whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of burden including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments regarding this information 

collection received by August 12, 2022 

will 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 

following website www.reginfo.gov/ 

public/do/PRAMain. Find this 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number and the agency informs 

potential persons who are to respond to 

the collection of information that such 

persons are not required to respond to 

the collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Assessing SNAP Participants’ 

Fitness for Work. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW. 

Summary of Collection: The Food and 

Nutrition Act of 2008 requires that 

Supplemental Nutritional Assistance 

Program (SNAP) participants between 

the ages 16 and 59 to meet certain work 

requirements, unless they are exempt or 

show good cause as to why they cannot 

work. Whether a participant is required 

to meet these work requirements is 

based upon a SNAP eligibility worker 

(caseworker) making a determination 

whether an individual is exempt from 

these work requirements, including a 

determination whether the individual is 

physically or mentally unfit for work. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) Food and Nutrition Service 

(FNS) offers general guidance and States 

develop their own policies and 

procedures with little input from FNS. 

States are given a great degree of 

latitude in making determinations 

regarding unfitness for work 

exemptions.
