Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children: Rescission of
Obsolete Regulatory Provisions
AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), Department of Agriculture.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule eliminates two time-limited state options in the
Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children (Summer EBT) program
regulations that are now obsolete.
DATES: This rule is effective June 11, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James C. Miller, Administrator, Food
and Nutrition Service, at (703) 305-2060, or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#99d3f8f4fceab7d4f0f5f5fcebd9eceafdf8b7fef6ef"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="9bd1faf6fee8b5d6f2f7f7fee9dbeee8fffab5fcf4ed">[email protected]</span></a> with
a subject line of ``RIN 0584-AF20''.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The President's Executive Order 14219 of February 19, 2025,
Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President's
``Department of Government Efficiency'' Deregulatory Initiative, 90 FR
10583, and subsequent implementing memorandum directed all agency heads
to review regulations within their purview and rescind those that are,
among other things, unlawful or unnecessary.
FNS has undertaken such a review and has identified the following
obsolete, unnecessary, and outdated provisions in 7 CFR part 292:
<bullet> Application Requirements: The regulations at 7 CFR
292.13(q) authorized Summer EBT application flexibility only for 2024.
<bullet> Verification Requirements: The regulations at 7 CFR
292.14(g) authorized Summer EBT income verification flexibility only
for 2024.
This final rule removes these obsolete provisions. The Agency has
found good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(4)(B) that notice-and-comment
rulemaking is unnecessary to take these actions because the provisions
being rescinded are obsolete.
Procedural Matters
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Under Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Orders 14215
and 13563, agencies must assess all costs and benefits of available
regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, select
regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits. The Office of
Management and Budget's (OMB) Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs has determined that this regulatory action is not significant
and, therefore, is not subject to OMB review.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612) (as amended
by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996; 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.), agencies must prepare and make available for
public comment a regulatory flexibility analysis that describes the
effect of the rule on small entities (i.e., small businesses, small
organizations, and small government jurisdictions). FNS has concluded
and hereby certifies that this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This rule does not contain Federal mandates (under the regulatory
provisions of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)) for
State, local, and Tribal governments, or the private sector of $100
million or more in any one year. Thus, the rule is not subject to the
requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA.
Executive Order 13175
Executive Order 13175 requires Federal agencies to consult and
coordinate with Tribes on a government-to-government basis on policies
that have Tribal implications, including regulations, legislative
comments or proposed legislation, and other policy statements or
actions that have substantial direct effects on one or more Indian
Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian
Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between
the Federal Government and Indian Tribes. FNS has determined that this
rule would not have Tribal implications that require consultation under
Executive Order 13175.
Paperwork Reduction Act
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless the
collection displays a currently valid OMB control number. This rule
does not impose any additional information collection requirements.
E-Government Act Compliance
The Department is committed to complying with the E-Government Act,
2002 to promote the use of the internet and other information
technologies to provide increased opportunities for citizen access to
Government information and services, and for other purposes.
Executive Order 13132; Federalism Summary Impact Statement
The rule is deregulatory and has little effect on States and local
governments, so FNS anticipates that this rule will not have
implications for federalism. Therefore, under section 6(b) of the
Executive order, a federalism summary is not required.
