Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function.

Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education and Obesity Prevention Grant (SNAP-Ed) State Plan and Report System.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0683.
Summary of Collection: This information collection updates existing reporting and recordkeeping requirements under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education and Obesity Prevention Grant Program (SNAP-Ed), a program established by Public Law 85-525, Section 28 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended (7 U.S.C. 2036a.) and administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS).
Section 28(c)(2) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended (the Act), requires States seeking SNAP-Ed funds to submit a Nutrition Education Plan (SNAP-Ed State Plan) to USDA for approval by August 15 of each year, pursuant to 7 CFR 272.2(d)(2). Section 28(c)(8) of the Act requires States receiving SNAP-Ed grant funds to submit to USDA an annual report (SNAP-Ed Annual Report) to USDA by January 31 of each year, pursuant to 7 CFR 272.2(d)(2).
Section 28(c)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act requires States to use an electronic reporting system to measure and evaluate projects and account for the allowable State agency administrative costs. Section 28(c)(7) of the Act requires the Agency to provide technical assistance to State agencies in creating or maintaining systems to compile program data. In response to these mandates, FNS improved the SNAP-Ed data reporting process by launching an electronic State Plan and Annual Report System in fiscal year 2023. The system collects consistent data across States, facilitating data aggregation and evaluation of SNAP-Ed grants.
Need and Use of the Information: On July 4, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed Public Law 119-21, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (OBBB). Section 10107 of OBBB amends Section 28(d)(1)(F) of the Food and Nutrition Act, as amended, by ending required funding of SNAP-Ed with the fiscal year (FY) 2025 grant allocation. As a result, this information collection is being renewed for States to submit their final SNAP-Ed annual reports prior to program closeout.
SNAP State agencies—with support from their contracted implementing agency partners, which include other State, Local, and Tribal Government agencies and Not-for-Profit Institutions (Business Level)—submit a SNAP-Ed State Plan (FNS-925B) and a SNAP-Ed Annual Report (FNS-925A) through N-PEARS. FNS reviews the Plans for allowability, compliance, appropriateness, and incorporation of evidence-based strategies. The review process may result in changes to the plan prior to approval of funding. Following the completion of the plan year, FNS reviews annual reports for program evaluation, compliance, and opportunities for technical assistance to program implementers.
In addition, FNS uses data from the Plans and Reports to analyze program efficacy, strengthen program oversight, and inform the provision of technical assistance to States, as required by Section 28(c)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act. FNS also recently conducted an assessment of the data submitted through N-PEARS to ensure quality and reliability, and to identify opportunities to improve the information collection instruments.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government, and Not-For-Profit Businesses.
Number of Respondents: 197.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annual.
Total Burden Hours: 186,455.
