Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 193 / Friday, October 8, 2021 / Notices Date: March 31, 2024. The OMB term of clearance for this Information Collection Request ICR was that FNS would merge the burden hours for additional data elements on the FNS583
currently approved under OMB Control Number: 05840653 into the information collection for Food Programs Reporting System FPRS.
In the final rule, the Department added the requirement for reporting four 4 additional data elements related to mandatory E&T participants to 7 CFR
273.7c11. The Department is committed to ensuring that State agencies are providing mandatory E&T
participants with opportunities to gain skills and appropriate services that help them be successful. Therefore, the Department proposed adding additional reporting elements to this fourth quarter report focused on mandatory E&T
participants: The unduplicated number of SNAP applicants and participants required to participate in an E&T
program during the fiscal year, and, of those, the number who actually began to participate in an E&T program. State agencies running FNS mandatory programs are required to report these additional data elements on the Federal Fiscal Year fourth quarter report of the FNS583 to FNS using the FPRS
database.
The four 4 mandatory data elements include:
1. The number of SNAP applicants and participants required to participate in E&T by the State agency.
2. Of those required to participate, the number who begin participation in an E&T program.
3. Of those required to participate, the number who begin participation in an E&T component.
4. The number of mandatory E&T
participants who were determined ineligible for failure to comply with E&T
requirements.
This information collection request merges the 17 States who will submit 1
one response annually for an estimated total of 17 annual responses and 68
estimated annual burden hours associated with CFR 273.7c11
reporting additional FNS 583 data elements currently approved under OMB Control Number: 05840653
information collection associated with a final rulemaking into the FPRS OMB
Control Number: 05840594, which will now account for these additional elements to the revised FNS583.

Employment and Training E&T must be provided with case management services, in addition to one or more E&T
component, in accordance to 237.7e1. As such, in addition to the four 4 mandatory data elements required due to rulemaking, FNS has an additional optional reporting case management reporting not determined by rulemaking.
The one 1 optional data elements include:
1. The number of E&T participants who received case management services.
While offering case management is required, the Department does not currently require States to report on the number of individuals that receive case management services on the FNS583.
However, many State agencies track the provision of case management services and may wish to report on those activities in their 4th quarter FNS583
report. The Department requests to include in this revision of the FNS583
a section that would to allow States the option to report the number of individuals that receive case management services.
The reporting of case management data is voluntary, but is intended to assist FNS in monitoring States implementation of the mandatory case management offering and increase States accountability.
This information collection revision for OMB Control Number: 05840594
includes an additional 1.25 hours for the addition of the voluntary case management data field to the FNS583.
Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Governments. Respondent group includes State agencies administering the SNAP E&T program in 50 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The total estimated number of respondents annually for the reporting burden of the FNS583 is 53 State agencies.
FNS estimates that currently, about 17
respondents of the 53 State agencies would be subject to the new data elements required for mandatory States.
In addition, about 15 respondents of the 53 State agencies may choose to report on the new optional elements of case management services, although this is not a requirement by rulemaking. This is a total of 32 States agencies who will respond to the new changes associated with the revision of form FNS583.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: The 53 States agencies are required to submit data on the FNS583

for 4 reports per year quarterly. As both the new reporting elements for mandatory States and the optional case management reporting only affects the 4th quarter of the 583, the estimated number of responses per respondent is 1 for both the additional data entries and the optional case management reporting. On average, for all 53 State agencies, the estimated number of responses per respondent is 4.6
responses annually.
Total Annual Responses: The total annual responses is 244. This number includes the 212 burden hours currently approved for the quarterly FNS583
report as well as the estimated newly estimated 17 total annual responses from mandatory States on the new data elements due to the final rulemaking plus the newly estimated 15 responses on optional case management reporting not associated with any rulemaking and at the discretion of the FNS; therefore, 32 of the 244 total annual responses are new.
Estimated Time per Response: There will be an additional 4 hours for the 17
State agency respondents of mandatory States reporting additional data elements. The optional reporting of case management will take about 5 minutes 0.0835 hours per response estimated for 15 State agency respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: The burden to be added to OMB Control Number: 05840594 is 69.25 hours. This total includes 68
hours from the new 4 data elements from mandatory States currently approved under OMB Control Number 05840653, to be merged into OMB
Control Number: 05840594 plus the 1.25 hours from reporting the optional case management newly requested burden under OMB Control Number:
05840594. The currently approved reporting burden hours is 20,776 for the FNS 583 under OMB Control Number:
05840594 expiration 7/31/2023. The updated total FNS583 burden is 20,845.25 hours. The new total FPRS
burden includes the previously approved burden of 104,610.5 total hours plus the additional 69.25 hours from the merge from OMB Control Number: 05840653 and the newly requested data element, resulting in 104,679 as the Overall Grand Total Burden Estimates for FPRS.
