This revision estimates an
average of 14 D-SNAPs per calendar year, which is higher than the
previously-assumed level. This adjustment is based on an increase
in the number of State agencies FNS anticipates will request to
operate D-SNAPs. The number of State D-SNAP requests varies greatly
from year to year and has ranged from five to 26 per year over the
last six years.
