This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Title: Understanding Participant Experiences in SNAP E&T.
OMB control Number: 0584-NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Food and Nutrition Administration (FNA), part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), is authorized to collect these data under Section 17 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended through Public Law 118-5, enacted June 3, 2023. The Act authorizes the Secretary of the USDA to contract private institutions to undertake research that will help improve the administration and effectiveness of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in delivering nutrition-related benefits.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) offers a vital lifeline to low-income Americans, preventing hunger during difficult times. When determining SNAP eligibility, States must identify anyone in the household that is (1) subject to general work requirements, (2) subject to a time limit on benefits if they are not meeting work requirements, and (3) required to participate in the State's SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) program. States vary considerably in how they determine eligibility, share information about work requirements and employment and training opportunities, and make referrals to SNAP E&T programs. The “Understanding Participant Experiences in SNAP E&T” project will help the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service's (FNS) to assess SNAP participants' understanding of work requirements and their experiences accessing SNAP E&T programs that meet their needs.
Need and Use of the Information: This new study—Understanding Participant Experiences in SNAP E&T—will help FNA assess the experiences of SNAP participants as they navigate work requirements, seek training opportunities through SNAP E&T, and find employment. Because FNA does not currently have detailed information on participants' experiences with the SNAP eligibility process and the SNAP E&T program, it is necessary for FNA to collect the information described in this request. Capturing a broad range of participant perspectives will fill a critical information gap, allowing FNA to develop actionable recommendations that States can use to improve customer service and efficiently connect SNAP participants with training and services that reduce barriers to work.
