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 20,
2026 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: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education and
Obesity Prevention Grant (SNAP-Ed) State Plan and Report System.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0683.
Summary of Collection: This information collection updates existing
reporting and recordkeeping requirements under the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program Education and Obesity Prevention Grant
Program (SNAP-Ed), a program established by Public Law 85-525, Section
28 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended (7 U.S.C. 2036a.)
and administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Food
and Nutrition Service (FNS).
Section 28(c)(2) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended
(the Act), requires States seeking SNAP-Ed funds to submit a Nutrition
Education Plan (SNAP-Ed State Plan) to USDA for approval by August 15
of each year, pursuant to 7 CFR 272.2(d)(2). Section 28(c)(8) of the
Act requires States receiving SNAP-Ed grant funds to submit to USDA an
annual report (SNAP-Ed Annual Report) to USDA by January 31 of each
year, pursuant to 7 CFR 272.2(d)(2).
Section 28(c)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act requires States to use an
electronic reporting system to measure and evaluate projects and
account for the allowable State agency administrative costs. Section
28(c)(7) of the Act requires the Agency to provide technical assistance
to State agencies in creating or maintaining systems to compile program
data. In response to these mandates, FNS improved the SNAP-Ed data
reporting process by launching an electronic State Plan and Annual
Report System in fiscal year 2023. The system collects consistent data
across States, facilitating data aggregation and evaluation of SNAP-Ed
grants.
Need and Use of the Information: On July 4, 2025, President Donald
J. Trump signed Public Law 119-21, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of
2025 (OBBB). Section 10107 of OBBB amends Section 28(d)(1)(F) of the
Food and Nutrition Act, as amended, by ending required funding of SNAP-
Ed with the fiscal year (FY) 2025 grant allocation. As a result, this
information collection is being renewed for States to submit their
final SNAP-Ed annual reports prior to program closeout.
SNAP State agencies--with support from their contracted
implementing agency partners, which include other State, Local, and
Tribal Government agencies and Not-for-Profit Institutions (Business
Level)--submit a SNAP-Ed State Plan (FNS-925B) and a SNAP-Ed Annual
Report (FNS-925A) through N-PEARS. FNS reviews the Plans for
allowability, compliance, appropriateness, and incorporation of
evidence-based strategies. The review process may result in changes to
the plan prior to approval of funding. Following the completion of the
plan year, FNS reviews annual reports for program evaluation,
compliance, and opportunities for technical assistance to program
implementers.
In addition, FNS uses data from the Plans and Reports to analyze
program efficacy, strengthen program oversight, and inform the
provision of technical assistance to States, as required by Section
28(c)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act. FNS also recently conducted an assessment
of the data submitted through N-PEARS to ensure quality and
reliability, and to identify opportunities to improve the information
collection instruments.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government, and
Not-For-Profit Businesses.
Number of Respondents: 197.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annual.
Total Burden Hours: 186,455.
