This information collection concerns
the documentation submitted by State agencies requesting FNS
authorization to operate disaster supplemental nutrition assistance
programs (DSNAP) for victims of disaster; once these DSNAP State
agencies are up and running they can request to expand and modify
to increase their parameters to operate in other area declared a
disaster. 83, Number 169, Page 44258

This is a revision of a
previously approved information collection. The number of
respondents expected to participate has decrease from 9 to 5 SAs.
The current burden inventory is 90 burden hours and 9 total annual
responses and FNS is requesting 56 burden hours and 7 total annual
responses for this revision. This reflect a decrease of -34 burden
hours and -2 total annual responses to this data collection
request. These adjustments are a direct result in the decreased
number of State D-SNAP agencies requests from fiscal year 2015
through fiscal year 2018. FNS is also revising the total burden
estimate to account for burden activities modify and expand that
were inadvertently omitted from previous approvals of this
collection. Once approved by FNS to operate D-SNAP, State agencies
must submit any subsequent requests to modify operations or expand
D-SNAP to newly eligible areas to FNS for approval. These
modification or expansion requests usually occur when a large-scale
disaster impacts different areas of a State in different ways or at
different times, and typically require substantially less time to
prepare than initial D-SNAP requests.
