Maribelle Balbes, Chief, State Administration Branch, Program Accountability and Administration Division, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Food and Nutrition Service, USDA, 1320 Braddock Place, 5th Floor, Alexandria, VA 22314, by phone at (703) 605-4271 or via email at SM.FN.SNAPSAB@usda.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Food and Nutrition Service published the interim final rule, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Requirement for Interstate Data Matching to Prevent Duplicate Issuances, in the Federal Register at 87 FR 59633 on October 3, 2022. Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq. ), the Office of Management and Budget Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has designated this as a major rule, as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
The Congressional Review Act (CRA) requires a 60-day delay in the effective date of a major rule from the date of publication in the Federal Register or receipt of the rule by Congress, whichever is later (5 U.S.C. 801(a)(3)(A)). The rule was published on October 3, 2022, and Congress received the interim final rule on October 6, 2022. Therefore, the effective date is extended by four days to December 6, 2022, which is at least 60 days from Congress' receipt of the interim final rule.
For this reason, the Food and Nutrition Service is delaying the effective date of the interim final rule that published October 3, 2022, at 87 FR 59633 until December 6, 2022.

Administrator, Food and Nutrition Service.
