DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Office of the Secretary
Privacy Act: Proposed New System of
Records
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of proposed new System

of Records—USDA/FNS–10, entitled
Persons Doing Business with the Food
and Nutrition Service.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the United
States Department of Agriculture
(USDA), Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS), is giving notice that it proposes
to add a new system of records.
FNS is creating a new system of
records to include the names, addresses
and Social Security Numbers of persons
involved in a direct payment
relationship with FNS, including
program sponsors, contractors and other
individuals. The Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA), Public
Law 104–134, requires FNS to collect
taxpayer identifying numbers (TINs)
from all individuals and entities with
which FNS does business, and to
furnish the TIN with each certified
voucher requesting payment. The
Privacy Act of 1974, in turn, requires
that before personal identifying
information may be shared with other
entities, a Privacy Act notice must be
published. Therefore, FNS is publishing
the accompanying notice announcing
the establishment of a system of records
providing routine uses to allow FNS to
provide TINs to the Department of the
Treasury for the purposes required
under the Law.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This notice will be
effective, without further notice, May
10, 2000 unless modified by a
subsequent notice to incorporate
comments received by the public.
Comments must be received by the
contact person listed below on or before
May 1, 2000 to be assured
consideration.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be

addressed to: Lou Pastura, Director,
Grants Management Division, Food and
Nutrition Service, USDA, Room 407,
3101 Park Center Drive, Alexandria,
Virginia 22302.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Debt
Collection Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97–365),
as amended, provides statutory
authority for Federal agencies to collect
debts through administrative offset. The
Debt Collection Improvement Act of
1996 (Pub. L. 104–134), expanded that
statutory authority by requiring Federal
agencies to obtain TINs from all
individuals and entities doing business
with it, and to furnish the TIN with each
certified voucher requesting payment.
This requirement enables the TINs of
Federal payment recipients to be made
available to match against a debtor
masterfile to facilitate debt collection by
administrative offset under the DCIA,
and for income reporting to the Internal
Revenue Service.
As a prerequisite to making TINs
available for such purposes, the Privacy
Act of 1974, as amended, requires that
agencies that maintain a system of
records must publish a notice in the
Federal Register of the existence and
character of the system of records. This
includes each routine use of the records
contained in the system including
categories of users and the purpose of
such use. Thus, FNS is proposing the
following routine uses for this system of
records, so that FNS can fully comply
with the legislative mandate cited
above.
This system of records contains
personal information from individuals
and entities who receive payments
directly from FNS under any of the
various nutrition and nutrition
education programs FNS administers.
The following information regarding
individuals and entities is contained in
the system: Name, home address, Social
Security Number (SSN), and Employer
Identification Number (EIN). The system
may also include information such as
company or sponsor name, and
financial data such as amounts of
payments to be made.
This system of records is not a
financial management system that is
used to track and identify financial
payments which become delinquent;
however, for FNS to be in compliance
with the law as required by the DCIA,
FNS must share with the Department of
the Treasury the personal identifying
information (such as the debtor’s/
payee’s name, home address, SSN, and
EIN (which is not considered a personal
item of information)) of those
individuals in this system to whom FNS
is providing direct payment. As stated
previously, FNS must publish a Privacy
Act notice before personal identifying

information may be shared with the
Department of the Treasury.
A ‘‘Report on a New System,’’
required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), as
implemented by OMB Circular A–130,
was sent to the Chairman, Senate
Committee on Governmental Affairs, the
Chairman, House Committee on
Government Reform and Oversight, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Swine Hides,
Bird Trophies, and Deer Hides.
OMB Number: 0579–0307.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the United States
Department of Agriculture is authorized,
among other things, to prohibit or
restrict the importation and interstate
movement of animals and animal
products to prevent the introduction

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 268001

into and dissemination within the
United States of livestock diseases and
pests. To carry out this mission, APHIS
regulates the importation of animals and
animal products into the United States.
The regulations are contained in 9 CFR
parts 91 through 99.
The regulations in 9 CFR parts 94 and
95 (referred to below as the regulations)
prohibit or restrict the importation of
specified animal products into the
United States to prevent the
introduction into the U.S. livestock
population of certain contagious animal
diseases. Sections 95.16 and 95.17 of the
regulations contain, among other things,
specific processing and certification
requirements for untanned hides and
skins and bird trophies.
The regulations require that
shipments of hides be accompanied by
certificates showing their origin and
certifying that the hides are from areas
free of certain animal diseases.
Shipments of ruminant hides from
Mexico must be accompanied by written
statements indicating that the hides
were frozen for 24 hours and treated for
ticks. Shipments of bird trophies must
be accompanied by certificates of origin
certifying that the trophies are from
regions free of exotic Newcastle disease
and highly pathogenic avian influenza.
These activities help ensure that the
products do not harbor disease or ticks.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 3 years. APHIS
has amended this information collection
by decreasing the number of
Respondents, Responses and Total
Burden Hours reported. APHIS has also
moved the following forms to
information collection 0579–0015
‘‘Restricted, Prohibited, and Controlled
Importation of Animal and Poultry
Products and Byproducts into the
United States,’’ so that all byproduct
collection activities are included in one
information collection package:
• VS Form 16–28: Approved
Warehouse Request and Agreement to
Handle Restricted Animal Byproducts
(Hunting Trophies and Museum
Specimens).
• VS Form 16–29: Agreement for
Handling Restricted Imports of Animal
Byproducts and Controlled Materials.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;

PO 00000

Frm 00003

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average approximately
0.250 hours per response.
Respondents: National government
officials, owners of untanned ruminant
and swine hides, and importers of
untanned ruminant and swine hides.
Estimated number of respondents:
158.
Estimated number of responses per
respondent: 7.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 1,059.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 265 hours.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 1st day of
June 2026.

‘‘Information on Persons Disqualified
from the Supplemental Nutrition

secured by the Food and Nutrition
Administration (FNA). The primary
purpose of this system is to assist in the
administration and enforcement of the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP). The purpose of this
modification is to clarify and expand
what systems and records this system of
records (SOR) covers and includes
program and technical updates to the
system. This includes modifying SNAP
Quality Control (QC) records that had
been contained in FNS–7 SORN, which
will now be covered under FNA–5. All
records formerly covered under USDA/
FNS–7 will be maintained within
SNAP–QCS and used in conjunction
with the Electronic Disqualified
Recipient System (eDRS) for program
integrity and statutory QC requirements.
Consolidation ensures continued
Privacy Act coverage and eliminates
duplicative SORNs. Proposed technical
changes include adding another
location, maintenance, and storage of
records to include electronic records.
DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(4) and (11), this system of
records notice will become effective
upon publication in the Federal
Register, except for the routine uses,
which will become effective 30 days
after publication in the Federal
Register, unless USDA determines they
must be changed as a result of public
comment. USDA will publish any
changes to the system of records notice
resulting from public comment.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, FNA
proposes to revise USDA/FNS–5,
Information on Persons Disqualified
from the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program, to expand the
systems and records covered to include
SNAP QC records and include program
and technical updates. The SORN
explains how the records within the
system will be used and with whom
they will be shared. This SOR is being
revised to include a change to the
routine uses that apply to both SNAP–
QCS and eDRS records. USDA/FNS–5
currently covers personal information
about individuals disqualified from
participating in SNAP collected in
eDRS. This SOR is being modified to
include households sampled for SNAP
QCS, as required in the Food and
Nutrition Act of 2008 is 7 U.S.C. 2011–
2031, as amended through Public Law
119–21, Enacted July 4, 2025.
Elsewhere in the Federal Register,
USDA is rescinding FNS–7 Quality
Control Subsample of Nonassistance
Households Participating in the Food
Stamp Program. Consolidating USDA/
FNS–7 into USDA/FNA–5 is necessary
because USDA/FNS–7 is outdated and
no longer reflects current SNAP Quality
Control operations or systems. Records
previously covered under USDA/FNS–7
will be maintained in SNAP–QCS and
integrated with eDRS to support
program integrity and compliance with
statutory QC requirements. This action
maintains Privacy Act coverage and
eliminates redundant SORNs. All
Privacy Act obligations, including
notice, routine uses, and safeguards
remain satisfied. Data includes the
complete set of QC cases sampled by all
states and contains the active QC
sample, which is comprised of
households that are participating in
SNAP, and the negative QC sample,
which is comprised of households that
have been denied, suspended, or
terminated from SNAP.1 The
information collected from these
1 Per 7 CFR 273.1(a), households are defined as
an individual or groups of individuals who
customarily purchase food and prepare meals for
home consumption separate and apart from others;
or who live together and customarily purchase food
and prepare meals together for home consumption.

households is stored in SNAP–QCS.
Proposed technical changes for both
SNAP–QCS and eDRS will include
adding additional details about location,
maintenance, and storage of records to
include electronic records.
In addition, FNA proposes to modify
the SOR title of USDA/FNS–5 from,
‘‘Information on Persons Disqualified
from the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program,’’ to ‘‘USDA/FNA–5,
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program—Information on Persons
Disqualified and Households in the

No Privacy Act exemptions are
claimed for this SOR.

Sections 6(b), 15(b), 15(c), and 16(c) (7
U.S.C. 2011–2031), and implementing
regulations at 7 CFR parts 273 and 275
provide explicit authority to collect,
maintain, and use both disqualification
and QC records. These authorities
mandate QC sampling, error rate
measurement, State liability
determinations, and disqualification
tracking for intentional program
violations.
PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:

The purpose of this system is to
support the effective administration,
oversight, and integrity of the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) by maintaining records
on individuals who have been
disqualified due to intentional program

Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 123 / Monday, June 29, 2026 / Notices
violations (IPVs), and by enabling
quality control (QC) and program
integrity functions.
Specifically, the system is used to:
Ensure Program Integrity and
Eligibility Compliance by verifying that
individuals who have been disqualified
from SNAP benefits do not receive
benefits during their period of
ineligibility, in accordance with 7 CFR
part 273.
Support SNAP Quality Control (QCS)
Activities by providing data necessary
to measure payment accuracy, validate
eligibility determinations, and support
Federal and State quality control
reviews. The system enables USDA and
State agencies to identify improper
payments, assess root causes of errors,
and implement corrective actions to
improve program performance.
Prevent Improper Payments and
Duplicate Participation to facilitate
cross-checks within and across State
SNAP agencies to prevent individuals
from receiving benefits in multiple
jurisdictions or after disqualification.
Enable Oversight, Reporting, and
Performance Management by supporting
USDA’s ability to conduct oversight,
produce required reports, and evaluate
program effectiveness, including error
rate measurement and compliance with
Federal standards.
Support Investigations and
Enforcement Actions by providing
records necessary for administrative or
judicial actions related to program
violations, including the establishment
and enforcement of disqualification
penalties.
Enhance Data-Driven Decision
Making by enabling analysis of trends in
program violations and disqualifications
to strengthen internal controls, inform
policy decisions, and improve program
integrity strategies.
This system helps USDA and State
SNAP agencies make sure the program
is working correctly and fairly. It tracks
people who are not allowed to receive
SNAP benefits because they broke
program rules. It also supports quality
control reviews, which are regular
checks to make sure; benefits are issued
correctly, eligibility decisions are
accurate, errors or improper payments
are identified and fixed.

uses outlined below as long as such uses
are also authorized by Sections 6(b),
11(e)(8), 15(b), 15(c), and 16(c) of the
FNA (7 U.S.C. 2011–2031), 7 CFR
272.1(c), 7 CFR 273.2(f)(11), 7 CFR
273.16, and 7 CFR 275.2.
The following routine uses are
modified or added to this SOR:
A. To the Department of Justice when:
(a) USDA/FNA or any component
thereof; or (b) any employee of USDA/
FNA in his or her official capacity, or
any employee of the agency in his or her
individual capacity where the
Department of Justice has agreed to
represent the employee; or (c) the
United States Government, is a party to
litigation or has an interest in such
litigation, and USDA/FNA determines
that the records are both relevant and
necessary to the litigation and the use of
such records by the Department of
Justice is deemed by USDA/FNA to be
for a purpose that is compatible with the
purpose for which USDA/FNA collected
the records.
B. In an appropriate proceeding before
a court, grand jury, or administrative or
adjudicative body or official, when the
USDA/FNA or other Agency
representing the USDA/FNA,
determines that the records are both
relevant and necessary to the
proceeding; or in an appropriate
proceeding before an administrative or
adjudicative body when the adjudicator
determines the records to be relevant to
the proceeding.
C. To a congressional office in
response to an inquiry from that
congressional office made at the written
request of, and on behalf of, the
individual about whom the record
pertains.
D. To the National Archives and
Records Administration or other Federal
government agencies pursuant to
records management activities being
conducted under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and

E. To another Federal agency or
Federal entity, when USDA/FNA
determines that information from this
system of records is reasonably
necessary to assist the recipient agency
or entity in: (1) responding to a
suspected or confirmed breach or (2)
preventing, minimizing, or remedying
the risk of harm to individuals, the
recipient agency or entity (including its
information systems, programs, and
operations), the Federal Government, or
national security, resulting from a
suspected or confirmed breach.
F. To appropriate agencies, entities,
and persons when: (1) USDA/FNA
suspects or has confirmed that there has
been a breach of the system of records;
(2) USDA/FNA has determined that as

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 268001

a result of the suspected or confirmed
breach there is a risk of harm to
individuals, USDA/FNA (including its
information systems, programs, and
operations), the Federal Government, or
national security; and (3) the disclosure
made to such agencies, entities, and
persons is reasonably necessary to assist
in connection with USDA/FNA’s efforts
to respond to the suspected or
confirmed compromise and prevent,
minimize, or remedy such harm.
G. To contractors and their agents,
grantees, experts, consultants, and
others performing or working on a
contract, service, grant, cooperative
agreement, or other assignment for the
USDA/FNA, when necessary to
accomplish an agency function related

H. When a record on its face, or in
conjunction with other records,
indicates a violation or potential
violation of law, whether civil, criminal
or regulatory in nature, and whether
arising by general statute or particular
program statute, or by regulation, rule,
or order issued pursuant thereto, USDA/
FNA may disclose the record to the
appropriate agency, whether Federal,
foreign, State, local, or tribal, or other
public authority responsible for
enforcing, investigating, or prosecuting
such violation or charged with enforcing
or implementing the statute, or rule,
regulation, or order issued pursuant
thereto, if the information disclosed is
relevant to any enforcement, regulatory,
investigative or prosecutive
responsibility of the receiving entity.
I. To State Agencies Administering
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program to access the Electronic
Disqualified Recipient System (eDRS) to
identify individuals who have been
disqualified from receiving SNAP
benefits. The eDRS matching program
maintains program integrity and reduces
payment errors by providing
information to assist State agencies with
establishing or verifying the eligibility
of individuals for SNAP benefits and
determining the appropriate
disqualification period to be imposed
for a new IPV as required in regulations
at 7 CFR 273.16, Disqualification for
intentional Program violation. Each
State agency must submit information
about individuals who have been
disqualified from SNAP within their
State to eDRS. As a participant in this
matching program, each State agency
has access to this national system to
both submit the required information for
their State and perform the required
matches against information provided
by all State agencies.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF
RECORDS:

Records are maintained on the
Department’s computers at the DISC–KC
on electronic media and storage within
the NetApp environment at that facility.
These records are electronic and
maintained within backups, and data
disks at FNA Headquarters and at the
Digital Infrastructure Service Center
(DISC) facility in Kansas City. This SOR
is being modified to add records being
hosted in a secure cloud infrastructure
environment, which is FedRAMP High
certified.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF
RECORDS:

See ‘‘Categories of Records in the
System’’ Section for identifiers USDA
retrieve records by.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND
DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:

Records in this system are retained
and disposed of in accordance with the
Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as
amended, USDA-approved records
schedules: DM–0462–2016–0001, and
schedules approved by the National
Archives and Records Administration
(NARA).
* Records relating to individuals
disqualified from participation in the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP), maintained in the
Electronic Disqualified Recipient
System (eDRS), are retained
permanently because prior
disqualifications must be considered in
determining future eligibility and
disqualification periods.
* Records relating to SNAP Quality
Control (QC) households, maintained in
the SNAP Quality Control System
(SNAP–QCS), are retained for the period
necessary to support error rate
determinations, State agency liability
assessments, audits, and program
oversight, and are disposed of in
accordance with applicable NARAapproved schedules.
* Records subject to litigation, audit,
or investigation holds are retained until
all such matters are resolved.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL
SAFEGUARDS:

Disqualification records will be
available only to identified State agency
personnel charged with the
administration and enforcement of
SNAP. Online access to the DISC–KC
database will be restricted to FNA
personnel charged with system
management. The DISC–KC is the
repository of multiple Department
systems of records and other databases.
It was constructed and is maintained at
a secure facility. State agencies will be

Title: Disaster Supplemental Nutrition

Reporting and FNS–292A/FNS–292B
Recordkeeping.
Form Number: FNS–292A and FNS–
292B.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0336.
Expiration Date: 12/31/2028.
Type of Request: Revision of a
previously approved collection.
Abstract: Pursuant to § 412 of the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.
5179) and § 5(h)(1) of the Food and
Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2014(h)),
the Secretary of Agriculture has the
authority to establish a Disaster
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (D–SNAP), which is a
temporary program that State agencies
may operate to provide food assistance
to households affected by a disaster. D–
SNAP is separate and distinct from the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) because it has different
standards of eligibility, is operated for a
limited duration, and only provides one
month of benefits to eligible
households.
