Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; ‘‘State SNAP Agency NDNH 

Matching Program Performance 

Report’’ (OMB No.: 0970–0464) 

AGENCY: Office of Child Support 

Enforcement, Administration for 

Children and Families, HHS. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Child Support 

Enforcement (OCSE), Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) is 

requesting the federal Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approve the ‘‘State SNAP Agency NDNH 

Matching Program Performance Report,’’ 

with minor revisions, for an additional 

three years. State agencies administering 

their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program (SNAP) provide the annual 

performance report to OCSE in 

accordance with the computer matching 

agreement between state SNAP agencies 

and OCSE. The current OMB approval 

expires on February 28, 2022. 

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of 

publication. In compliance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting 

public comment on the specific aspects 

of the information collection described 

above. 

ADDRESSES: To submit comments and 

obtain copies of the proposed collection 

of information, email infocollection@

acf.hhs.gov. Alternatively, copies are 

obtainable by writing to the 

Administration for Children and 

Families, Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation (OPRE), 330 C Street 

SW, Washington, DC 20201, Attn: ACF

requests, emailed or written, by the title 

of the information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: State agencies 

administering SNAP are mandated to 

participate in a computer matching 

program with the federal OCSE. 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 with verifying and 

determining an individual’s benefit 

eligibility. To receive NDNH 

information, state agencies enter into a 

computer matching agreement and 

adhere to its terms and conditions, 

including providing OCSE with annual 

performance outcomes that are 

attributable to the use of NDNH 

information. 

To fulfill OMB requirements, OCSE 

periodically reports performance 

measurements demonstrating how the 

use of information in the NDNH 

supports OCSE’s strategic mission, 

goals, and objectives. OCSE will provide 

the annual SNAP performance outcomes 

to OMB. 

Respondents: State SNAP Agencies.
