SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Worksheet for the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program’s (SNAP)
Quality Control Reviews.
OMB Number: 0584–0074.
Form Number: FNS–380.
Expiration Date: February 28, 2010.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Form FNS–380 is a SNAP
worksheet used to determine eligibility
and benefits for households selected for
review in the quality control sample of
active cases. We estimate the total
reporting burden for this collection of
information as 8.9 hours, equating to a
total of 498,978 hours collectively. This
includes the time for State agencies
analyzing the household case record;
planning and carrying out the field
investigation; gathering, comparing,
analyzing and evaluating the review
data and forwarding selected cases to
the Food and Nutrition Service for
Federal validation. It also includes an
average interview burden of 30 minutes
(0.5 hours) for each household.
Additionally, we estimate the
recordkeeping burden per record for the
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
state agency to be 0.0236 hours, thereby
making the recordkeeping burden
associated with this information
collection for the state agency to be
1,323 hours. The total estimated
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection is 500,301 hours.
The reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this form was previously
approved under Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) clearance number
0584–0074. OMB approved the burden
through November 30, 2009. Based on
the most recent table of active case
sample sizes and completion rates (FY
2007), we estimate 56,065 FNS–380
worksheets and interviews will now be
completed annually. This is a decrease
of 1,134 responses from the estimate
made to substantiate the current
collection. This estimate will also cause
a corresponding decrease in the
reporting and recordkeeping burden.
The decrease in response is a result of
a reduction in the number of cases being
pulled for review over the minimum
required review amount. We are
requesting a three-year approval from
OMB for this information collection.
Affected Public: State or local
governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 53
State agencies.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1057 responses.
Estimated Total Number of Responses
