SNAP FY 23 state ME target areas.
This collection is a revision of a currently approved collection of information relating to the reporting and recordkeeping burden associated with the SFMNP.
FNS is targeting the areas of program operation listed, for state SNAP Agency Management Evaluations for the upcoming fiscal year. State SNAP agencies are required to conduct MEs for the target areas in the upcoming fiscal year.
Each fiscal year, state SNAP agencies must conduct management evaluations in certain project areas within the state. States must schedule and complete these ME reviews and the areas of program operation targeted for the fiscal year by FNS. However, the COVID-19 public health emergency has disrupted state ME activities.
This information collection is requesting a revision to the previously approved burden hours due to program adjustments that primarily reflect expected changes in the number of SFMNP state agencies, individual/households (program recipients), and the number of farmers, farmers' markets, roadside stands, and CSA programs, from year to year.
FNS is targeting the areas of program operation listed in the table below for state SNAP Agency Management Evaluations for the upcoming fiscal year.
This is an extension of a currently approved collection under OMB No. 0584-0010, which is due to expire Oct. 31, 2019.
