Short Statement: This is a revision of a previously approved information collection. The current OMB burden inventory is 1,568.25 annual burden hours and 129 total annual responses. In this revision, FNS is requesting 1,388.25 annual reporting burden hours and 164 total annual responses. This is a decrease of 180 hours and an increase of 35 total annual responses. This decrease in burden hours and increase in total responses are both due to adjustments. In the process of renewing this collection, FNS increased the estimated number of responses States submit as part of their SUA submission review. FNS estimates that 53 State agencies will submit two responses each, which includes States’ review of their preliminary SUA amounts and their final SUA amounts. In prior renewals, FNS did not delineate between these two submissions, but considered them part of one process. In this renewal, FNS chose to more clearly reflect the two responses States submit and adjust its estimate accordingly. FNS asks States to submit preliminary SUA amounts voluntarily as part of their annual SUA update process. By collecting preliminary SUA estimates ahead of final annual updates, FNS can plan for any significant changes in SUA amounts which may considerably impact SNAP benefit amounts. While FNS is adding a response to this burden item, this update will only result in an increase of total annual responses, not total annual burden hours. FNS estimates that even with the newly delineated response, the total amount of time for States to review their SUA estimates (both preliminary and final) remains the same as the previously approved burden estimate.
