  <title><![CDATA[  Food Stamp Program: Disqualified Recipient Reporting and Computer  Matching Requirements That Affect the Food Stamp]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-08-E6-20765</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ In this rule the Food and Nutrition Service proposes to codify 
prisoner verification and death matching procedures mandated by 
legislation and previously implemented through agency directive. The 
proposed rule will require that State food stamp agencies use 
disqualified recipient data to screen all program applicants prior to 
certification to assure that they are not currently disqualified from 
the program and thus ineligible to participate. The proposed rule also 
addresses requirements that State food stamp agencies participate in a 
computer matching program using a system of records that adhere to 
provisions of the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, 
as amended. Finally, publication of this proposed rule responds to 
findings of General Accounting Office and USDA Office of Inspector 
General audits that found, among other things, that the disqualified 
reporting subsystem process could be improved to enhance State agency 
ability to identify currently disqualified food stamp rec<script type="text/javascript">

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-08-06-9593</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The USDA Forest Service will prepare an environmental impact 
statement (EIS) to disclose environmental effects on a proposed action 
to recover the economic value of dead and dying tees damaged in the 
Shake Table Fire Complex, and remove potential hazard trees from open 
forest travel routes within the Todd, Duncan, Fields Creek and Dry 
Creek subwatersheds. Shake Table Fire Complex, located approximately 20 
miles southwest of John Day, Oregon, burned approximately 14,527 acres 
across mixed ownership in August 2006, of that approximately 13,536 
acres were on National Forest System Lands administered by the Blue 
Mountain Ranger District, Malheur National Forest. The proposed action 
is the Thorn Fire Salvage Recovery Project.
