DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
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 May 9,
2024 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 particular 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 a currently valid OMB
control number.
Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Understanding Risk Assessment in Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) Payment Accuracy.
OMB Control Number: 0584-NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Payment Integrity Information Act of
2019 continues the work of previous related legislation in requiring
Federal agencies to track and mitigate improper payments, which are
defined as payments that either should not have been made or were made
in an incorrect amount. FNS and the SNAP State agencies use SNAP
Quality Control (QC) to closely monitor the program for improper
payments. SNAP State agencies must conduct a QC review of a random
sample of current cases each month (referred to as active cases) to
identify underpayments and overpayments and calculate total payment
error. At the end of the review period for each month's cases, the SNAP
State agencies share the case files and results with Federal SNAP
staff, who review a subsample of the cases for accuracy and use the
results to calculate an annual official payment error rate for each
State agency's official payment error rate.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS is conducting a study,
Understanding Risk Assessment in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) Payment Accuracy, to develop a comprehensive picture of
whether and how SNAP State agencies use RA tools and determine if these
tools create disparate impacts on protected classes. The key research
objectives follow: (1) determine which States use RA tools to reduce
error rates; (2) determine what factors and variables are being used in
RA tools; (3) identify how SNAP State agencies act on the results of
their RA tools; (4) determine whether SNAP State agencies' RA tools are
successful in reducing error rates; (5) determine if the RA tools
create (or relieve) racial or other disparities by which individuals
are flagged for further review; and (6) determine best practices in the
development and use of RA tools.
Description of Respondents: State, Local and Tribal Governments,
Individuals and Households.
