Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Recordkeeping for Employment and Training Program Activity
Report and Requests for Additional 100 Percent Funding.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0339.
Summary of Collection: The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Pub. L.
105-33), modified the Employment and Training (E&T) Program so that
States' efforts are now focused on a particular segment of the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) population--able-
bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs).
Requests for Additional E&T Funds: 7 CFR 273.7(d)(1)(i)(D) provides
that if a State agency will not expend all of the funds allocated to it
for a fiscal year, FNS will reallocate unexpended funds to other State
agencies during the fiscal year or the subsequent fiscal year as FNS
considers appropriate and equitable. After FNS makes initial E&T
allocations, under 7 CFR 273.7(d)(1)(i), State agencies may request
additional E&T funds if needed. FNS will reallocate available funds
(e.g., funds that are unallocated or funds that are allocated but will
not be spent) in a fair and equitable manner.
Retention and Custody of Records. Under 7 CFR 277.12 (1) and (2),
all financial records, supporting documents, statistical records,
negotiated contracts, and all other records pertinent to program funds
shall be maintained for three years from the date of submission of the
annual financial status report or if any litigation, claim, or audit is
started before the expiration of the three-year period, the applicable
records shall be retained until these have been resolved.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS will review requests about
their E&T programs so that the Department can monitor State performance
to ensure that the program is being efficiently and economically
operated. Without the information, FNS would be unable to make
adjustments or allocate exemptions in accordance with the statute.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Occasionally;
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 50.
