The purpose of the Performance
Reporting System (PRS) is to ensure that each State agency and
project area is operating SNAP. The System enables each State
agency to monitor its administration of SNAP. It is also a tool
used by FNS to evaluate State agency operations and to collect
information that is necessary to develop solutions to improve the
States administration of SNAP policy and procedures.

This is a revision of a
currently approved collection. The current OMB burden inventory is
53 respondents (all SNAP State agencies), 3,074 total annual
responses (1,537 for reporting; 1,537 for recordkeeping), and
491,172 total annual burden hours (490,992 for reporting; 180 for
recordkeeping). In this renewal, the Agency made revisions due to
adjustments to the estimates for the State management evaluation
and corrective action plan provisions. Additionally, there is a
portion of this data collection which has existing burden in use
without a valid OMB control number related to Federal management
evaluations. FNS is request, the number of annual respondents
remained unchanged at 53, the number of annual responses increased
from 3,074 to 3,286 which is an increase of 212 responses, and the
burden hours increased from 491,172 to 506,680 hours which is an
increase of 15,508 annual burden hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
