Home 9 Federal Register Listings 9 rule/policy update 9 Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP); Withdrawal Notice

Agency: USDA Food and Nutrition Service

Action: Withdrawal notice of previously proposed rule

Why it matters: USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service is withdrawing its proposed rule issued on May 10, 2016, which would have established procedures for planning, requesting, and operating D-SNAP. Disasters like COVID-19 pandemic showed that the proposed rule would have prevented USDA from adapting and enacting public health emergencies in a timely manner. As a result of feedback received through listening sessions and submitted comments, the rule is being withdrawn.
