Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding; 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; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by February 
16, 2023 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for 
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of the publication of this notice on the following website 
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this information collection by 
selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' 
or by using the search function.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays

Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Waivers Under Section 6(o) of the Food and Nutrition Act.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0479.
    Summary of Collection: This is a renewal of an existing information 
collection. Section 824 of the Personal Responsibility and Work 
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Public Law 104-193 (PRWORA) 
establishes a time limit for the receipt of Supplemental Nutrition 
Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for certain able-bodied adults who 
are not working. The provision authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture, 
upon a State agency's request, to waive the provision for any group of 
individuals if the Secretary determines ``that the areas in which the 
individuals reside has an unemployment rate of over 10 percent or does 
not have a sufficient number of jobs to provide employment for the 
individuals.''
    Need and Use of the Information: As required in the statute, in 
order to receive a waiver, the State agency must submit sufficient 
supporting information so that the Secretary can make the required 
determination as to the area's unemployment rate or insufficiency of 
available jobs. This collection of information is necessary in order to 
obtain waivers of the SNAP ABAWD time limit.
    Description of Respondents: State, local, or Tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 53.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: on occasion, annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,163.
