Abstract: The information collection requires States agencies to issue a warning notice to withhold replacement electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards or a warning notice for excessive EBT card replacements for individual members of a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) household requesting four EBT cards in a 12-month period. These notices are being issued to educate SNAP recipients on use of the EBT card and to deter fraudulent activity.

Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved information collection; the current overall burden inventory for this information collection is 21,941 total annual burden hours and 550,994 total annual responses. We are requesting 22,988.73 burden hours rounded to 22,989(14,576.75 burden hours for individuals/households and 8,411.98 for State agencies) and 503,712.20 total annual responses (251,856.10 total annual responses for individuals/households and 251,856.10 total annual responses for State agencies). This request reflects a increase by 1,045.77 total annual burden hours and a decrease of -47,281.80 total annual responses rounded to -47,282. The revision reflects an adjustment due to the number of households contacting States who opt to follow our regulations at 274.6(b)(5) to withhold replacement cards, which requires some households to make contact with the State agency if they request excessive replacement cards.
