Title: Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program Forms: 

Applications, Periodic Reporting, and 

Notices. 

Form Number: None. 

OMB Number: 0584–0064. 

Expiration Date: December 31, 2020. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Under Section 11(e)(8) of 

the Food and Nutrition Act of and 2008 

(‘‘the Act’’) and 7 CFR 272.1(c)(4), SNAP 

State agencies (‘‘State agencies’’) are 

limited in the use or disclosure of 

information obtained from SNAP 

application forms or contained in case 

files of participating SNAP households 

to certain persons, specifically those 

directly connected with: 

• The administration of SNAP; 

• The administration of other Federal 

or Federally assisted means-tested 

programs; 

• The verification of immigration 

status of aliens; 

• The Office of the Comptroller 

General of the U.S. for audit and 

examination authorized by any other 

provisions of law; 

• Local, State, or Federal law 

enforcement for the purpose of 

investigating an alleged violation of the 

Act or SNAP regulations; 

• Local, State, or Federal law 

enforcement for the purpose of 

investigating if a household member is 

a fleeing felon or a parole violator; and 

• Agencies of the Federal 

Government for the purposes of 

collecting the amount of an over 

issuance from Federal pay. 

While working on the renewal of this 

collection, which is currently under 

review with OMB, FNS identified that 

these activities (which we will refer to 

simply as ‘‘third-party disclosures’’) 

were not previously included in this 

collection. Due to unprecedented 

workload as a result of COVID–19 and 

due to the outstanding need to 

adequately research and estimate the 

burden of SNAP third-party disclosure 

requirements on State agencies, FNS 

was unable to include this activity with 

the original renewal request submitted 

to OMB prior to its original expiration 

date. Through this notice, FNS intends 

to initiate a resolution of this 

discrepancy by addressing SNAP thirdparty reporting requirements in a 

revision of this collection. FNS will 

continue to refine these estimates 

through a continuous review and 

improvement cycle with the FNS 

Privacy Officer that may result in 

additional revisions in future renewals. 

In an effort to formulate accurate burden 

estimates for third-party reporting 

requirements, FNS consulted with six 

State agencies prior to drafting this 

notice. The estimates below incorporate 

feedback we received from those State 

agencies. 

FNS estimates that each of the 53 

SNAP State agencies may receive as 

many as 36 requests for household data 

disclosure annually by entities entitled 

to that information under Federal law. 

One example of a third-party 

disclosure request is law enforcement 

officials requesting information 

regarding a fleeing felon. Per 7 CFR 

273.11(n), upon written request, State 

agencies must disclose to law 

enforcement officers acting in their 

official capacity, the address, social 

security number, and, if available, 

photograph of the household member, if 

that household member is a fleeing 

felon. 

The time needed to fulfill a thirdparty request for information is 

approximately 0.5 hours (30 minutes). 

The time accounted for includes 0.0835 

hours (5 minutes) to read and review the 

request, 0.25 hours (15 minutes) to find 

the related information from their 

caseloads and research the request, and 

0.167 hours (10 minutes) to draft and 

send the information to the third-party 

via email or mail. 

Another third-party request may be 

received from a university for research 

purposes. These written requests for 

data should support Program research 

and evaluation. Disclosure requests for 

research purposes are allowable, as long

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 110 / Thursday, June 10, 2021 / Notices 30911 

as they are directly related to the 

administration of SNAP per Section 

11(e)(8) of the Act. Additional 

cooperation by State agencies, local 

agencies, institutions, facilities and 

contractor’s participation in programs 

authorized under the Act are required 

by section 17(k)(5) of the Act. 

The time needed to fulfill a thirdparty request for information is 

approximately 0.5 hours (30 minutes). 

The time accounted for includes 0.0835 

hours (5 minutes) to read and review the 

request, 0.25 hours (15 minutes) to find 

the related information from their 

caseloads and research the request, and 

0.167 hours (10 minutes) to draft and 

send the information to the third-party 

via email or mail. 

The current burden for this collection 

is 124,187,297 annual burden hours. 

Considering the burden adjustments 

made due to third-party disclosure 

requirements not delineated in previous 

burden tables, FNS calculates the 

revised total burden for this collection 

is 124,188,251 annual burden hours 

which reflects an increase of 954 burden 

hours due to program changes and 

adjustments. The total burden is 

summarized below.

administer SNAP (SNAP State 

agencies).
