The Food and Nutrition Administration intends to request the renewal of a generic clearance that allows FNA to conduct short, quick-turnaround surveys of state, local, and Tribal agencies and businesses that receive food, funds, and nutrition information through programs administered by FNA.
This request for approval of information collection is necessary to obtain input into the development of nutrition education interventions for population groups served by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Administration. FNA also uses this collection to obtain input that can be used to develop and assess grants.
This rule removes the Coordinated Services Plan (CSP) requirement for the Summer Food Service Program and Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children Program under the “Implementing Provisions from the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023: Establishing the Summer EBT Program and Rural Non-Congregate Option in the Summer Meal Programs” interim final rule published Dec. 29, 2023.

We periodically surveys state agencies administering SNAP about certain options to determine which options are in use. The results of these surveys have been compiled into the State Options Reports. These reports are not a comprehensive reflection of all policy and administrative options available to states.
