Page 29 - Delete the second and third paragraph under State Employee Training 7 CFR
272.4(d) and insert:
The final rule adopts the proposed rule at 7 CFR 272.4(d) as written. By eliminating
training requirements, we are signaling our greater concern with the outcome of training, that is,
high quality administration. However, we strongly encourage states to continue to provide
quality training to their employees. Quality training strengthens Program administration and
communicates a strong message to employees about the importance of the Food Stamp Program.
Where program reviews indicate program problems caused by deficiencies in staff skills, we
would expect State agencies to upgrade training efforts.
Page 31 - Delete the last paragraph under Hours of Operation - 7 CFR 272.4(g) and insert:
We strongly support policies establishing office hours or other accommodations designed
to facilitate working families and to ensure that working families have access to the FSP.
Extended office hours are very successful in improving Program access and enhancing a
household's ability to succeed in work because it allows working households to schedule
appointments and complete the application process without missing work. Also, State agencies
that establish alternate or extended hours may benefit by receiving bonus awards from the
Department of Health and Humans Services (HHS). Under HHS final rules (65 FR 52814,
August 30, 2000) entitled, Bonus to Reward States for High Performance Under the TANF
Program, a portion of the TANF bonus funding to States will be based on their performances in
providing food stamps to low-income working families.
Accordingly, the Department is adopting in this final rule the proposal at $272.4(f) that
requires State agencies to consider the special accommodation needs of populations they serve,
including households containing a working person who is responsible for the household's food
stamp certification. Our regulatory focus is on the desired outcome rather than the means of
achieving it. Recent data indicate the FSP is vital in helping families move to self-sufficiency
and that participation in the FSP is crucial in ensuring that people working for low wages have
the help they need.
