SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Understanding the Anti-Fraud
Measures of Large SNAP Retailers.
OMB Number: 0584–NEW.
Expiration Date: Not Yet Determined.
Abstract: FNS is responsible for
authorizing retailers for participation in
SNAP as well as monitoring their
compliance with applicable regulations.
Fraud in the context of SNAP can come
from client-level program violations or
retailer-level fraud. The latter, which is
the focus of this study, can involve
different actions such as the buying and
selling of benefits or selling ineligible
items like alcohol and tobacco. FNS
believes that any type of fraud in SNAP
weakens the program by diverting
benefits from the intended purpose of
helping low-income Americans
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
purchase food and undermining the
public confidence in the program. Thus,
the Agency continually seeks new ways
to detect and prevent fraud.
Research has consistently
demonstrated that fraud rates are lowest
among large retailers. There are several
theories for why this may be true, one
of which is that large regional or
national retail chains of stores have
sophisticated loss prevention systems
that prevent or detect numerous types of
fraud. Thus, a loss prevention system
built to discover an employee engaging
in credit card fraud could easily be
modified to detect an employee
engaging in SNAP benefit fraud.
Similarly, a system built to prevent
internal theft may be able to detect the
sale of ineligible items.
Despite theories as to why large stores
have low SNAP fraud rates, there is
limited understanding of how they
prevent SNAP fraud. If internal loss
prevention systems prevent SNAP
fraud, then it is possible that a better
understanding of large store procedures
could help FNS refine its procedures for
detecting and reducing retailer-level
fraud. Thus, FNS desires to understand
more about the steps large retailers take
to protect themselves from fraud in
general and SNAP fraud specifically.
The information collection activities
to be undertaken subject to this notice
include: Survey of Companies that own/
franchise large SNAP authorized retail
chains: Surveys will be administered to
company SNAP representatives in
companies that own, franchise and/or
have cooperative agreements with the
largest chains of SNAP-authorized
stores. These include super store chains,
large supermarket chains, convenience
store chains, and other chain stores that
sell a combination of food and other
products, such as household products,
pharmaceuticals, or gasoline. The
surveys will address the loss prevention
systems used by these companies.
Survey of SNAP Authorized Stores
owned/franchised/affiliated with large
retail chains: Surveys will be
administered to managers of super
stores, large supermarkets, convenience
stores and other chain stores that sell a
combination of food and other products.
The surveys will address fraud
detection and prevention policies and
practices. This study does not seek to
represent all SNAP retailers. It targets
the practices of one segment of the

SNAP authorized retailer population—
the largest retail chains. These chains
are likely to have the most sophisticated
loss prevention systems. Therefore, the
study includes the large national and
regional chain retailers responsible for
transacting about half of all SNAP
redemptions. A total of the 35 largest
retail corporations and a sample of
2,000 of their store outlets are expected
to respond to surveys.
Company SNAP representatives and
store managers will be asked questions
regarding organizational structure, roles
and responsibilities, and tactics used to
limit or eliminate fraud in general and
SNAP fraud in particular. At a
minimum the following fraud abatement
methods will be studied at the corporate
and store levels: Point of sale systems,
analytics, training, surveillance,
investigation, and liaison with law
enforcement. The surveys will be
administered using a web-based survey
tool.
Companies and SNAP authorized
stores that do not respond to the webbased surveys will receive internet
reminders. Those that still do not
respond will receive a telephone call
through a Computer Aided Telephone
Interviewing (CATI) system where
trained interviewers will prompt the

Jkt 241001
participant to respond to the survey
online or to complete the survey by
telephone via CATI.
There is no recordkeeping burden
involved in this data collect. The
reporting burden identified below
reflects the total number of respondents
who will participate fully and total
number of non-respondents who take in
part or chose not to participate fully in
this study.
Affected Public: Businesses-for-andnot-for-profit (4,049):
A total of 45 large companies with
stores participating in SNAP, and 4,000
SNAP authorized company owned and
operate stores, franchised stores or
affiliated stores and 5 pretest
companies.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,049.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 2.1588.
Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 8,741.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.2258
hours.
Pretesting the company surveys will
take a total of 4 hours (two 2-hour
interviews), and pretesting the store
surveys will take 4 hours (two 2-hour
interviews).
FNS plans to contact 45 companies.
We anticipate the SNAP representative
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

at 35 companies will respond and spend
0.75 hours identifying key informants
and compiling information from various
organizational units involved in SNAP.
They are likely to include human
resources (for training), loss prevention
(for loss prevention management and
loss prevention procedures used), point
of sale management and analytics. The
company SNAP representative will
spend between 0.75 (web-based
response or CATI survey response)
hours completing the survey, including
time to report on SNAP-specific
activities and policies carried out by the
SNAP representative and information
compiled from other units involved in
SNAP. Managers of 2,000 stores will
spend an average of 0.75 hours each to
respond to the Store Manager Survey.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 1,974.43 hours.
See the burden table (Table 1) below
for estimated total burden for each type
of business respondent and nonrespondents.

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On February 16, 2017, the
Department of Commerce (the
‘‘Department’’) published its
preliminary results of changed
circumstances reviews (‘‘CCRs’’) and
intent to revoke, in part, the
antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) and
countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’) orders on
certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic
products from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’) and the AD order on
certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic
products from Taiwan (collectively the
‘‘Orders’’) with respect to certain solar
panels. Specifically, the Department
preliminarily determined that the
producers accounting for substantially
all of the production of the domestic
like product to which the Orders pertain
lacked interest in the relief provided by
the Orders with respect to certain solar
panels that are incorporated in the
battery charging and maintaining units
described below. We invited interested
parties to comment on the preliminary
results. No party submitted comments.
For the final results of these CCRs, the
Department is revoking, in part, the
Orders as to imports of certain solar
panels that are incorporated in the
battery charging and maintaining units
described below.
DATES: Effective April 5, 2017.

Jkt 241001
Register.1 On April 20, 2016, the
Department received a request on behalf
of PulseTech Products Corporation
(‘‘PulseTech’’) for CCRs to revoke, in
part, the Orders with respect to certain
stand-alone solar panels and certain
solar panels incorporated in a specific
type of battery charging and maintaining
unit.2 In subsequent submissions filed
between May 12, 2016, and September
2, 2016, PulseTech modified the
description of the exclusion request for
solar panels incorporated in certain
battery charging and maintaining units.
On September 6, 2016, SolarWorld
Americas, Inc. (‘‘Petitioner’’) stated that
it agrees with the scope exclusion
language proposed by PulseTech.3
Ultimately PulseTech withdrew its
request for changed circumstances
reviews with respect to the stand-alone
solar panels not incorporated in battery
charging and maintaining units.4
On November 10, 2016, the
Department published the Initiation
Notice for the requested CCRs in the
Federal Register.5 On February 16,
2017, the Department published the
Preliminary Results of these CCRs in
which it found that producers
accounting for substantially all of the
production of the domestic like product
to which the Orders pertain lack interest
in the relief afforded by the Orders with
respect to certain solar panels
incorporated in a specific type of battery
charging and maintaining unit as
described in PulseTech’s request.6 The
Department invited interested parties to

Final Results of Changed
Circumstances Reviews, and
Revocation of the Orders, in Part
Because no party submitted
comments opposing the Department’s
Preliminary Results, and the record
contains no other information or
evidence that calls into question the
Preliminary Results, the Department
determines, pursuant to section
751(d)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the ‘‘Act’’), section 782(h) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.222(g), that
there are changed circumstances that
warrant revocation of the Orders, in
part. Specifically, because the producers
accounting for substantially all of the
production of the domestic like product
to which the Orders pertain lack interest
in the relief provided by the Orders with
respect to the following type of solar
panels, we are revoking the Orders, in
part for solar panels that are:
(1) Less than 300,000 mm2 in surface
area; (2) less than 27.1 watts in power;
(3) coated across their entire surface
with a polyurethane doming resin; and
(4) joined to a battery charging and
maintaining unit (which is an
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (‘‘ABS’’)
box that incorporates a light emitting
diode (‘‘LED’’)) by coated wires that
include a connector to permit the
incorporation of an extension cable. The
battery charging and maintaining unit
utilizes high-frequency triangular pulse
waveforms designed to maintain and
extend the life of batteries through the
reduction of lead sulfate crystals. The
above-described battery charging and
maintaining unit is currently available
under the registered trademark
‘‘SolarPulse.’’ The scope description
below includes this exclusion language.
Scope of the AD and CVD Orders on

The information collection activities to be undertaken subject to
this notice include: Survey of Companies that own/franchise large SNAP
authorized retail chains: Surveys will be administered to company SNAP
representatives in companies that own, franchise and/or have
cooperative agreements with the largest chains of SNAP-authorized
stores. These include super store chains, large supermarket chains,
convenience store chains, and other chain stores that sell a
combination of food and other products, such as household products,
pharmaceuticals, or gasoline. The surveys will address the loss
prevention systems used by these companies.
Survey of SNAP Authorized Stores owned/franchised/affiliated with
large retail chains: Surveys will be administered to managers of super
stores, large supermarkets, convenience stores and other chain stores
that sell a combination of food and other products. The surveys will
address fraud detection and prevention policies and practices. This
study does not seek to represent all SNAP retailers. It targets the
practices of one segment of the
[[Page 16571]]
SNAP authorized retailer population--the largest retail chains. These
chains are likely to have the most sophisticated loss prevention
systems. Therefore, the study includes the large national and regional
chain retailers responsible for transacting about half of all SNAP
redemptions. A total of the 35 largest retail corporations and a sample
of 2,000 of their store outlets are expected to respond to surveys.
Company SNAP representatives and store managers will be asked
questions regarding organizational structure, roles and
responsibilities, and tactics used to limit or eliminate fraud in
general and SNAP fraud in particular. At a minimum the following fraud
abatement methods will be studied at the corporate and store levels:
Point of sale systems, analytics, training, surveillance,
investigation, and liaison with law enforcement. The surveys will be
administered using a web-based survey tool.
Companies and SNAP authorized stores that do not respond to the
web-based surveys will receive internet reminders. Those that still do
not respond will receive a telephone call through a Computer Aided
Telephone Interviewing (CATI) system where trained interviewers will
prompt the participant to respond to the survey online or to complete
the survey by telephone via CATI.
There is no recordkeeping burden involved in this data collect. The
reporting burden identified below reflects the total number of
respondents who will participate fully and total number of non-
respondents who take in part or chose not to participate fully in this
study.
Affected Public: Businesses-for-and-not-for-profit (4,049):
A total of 45 large companies with stores participating in SNAP,
and 4,000 SNAP authorized company owned and operate stores, franchised
stores or affiliated stores and 5 pretest companies.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,049.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 2.1588.
Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 8,741.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.2258 hours.
Pretesting the company surveys will take a total of 4 hours (two 2-
hour interviews), and pretesting the store surveys will take 4 hours
(two 2-hour interviews).
FNS plans to contact 45 companies. We anticipate the SNAP
representative at 35 companies will respond and spend 0.75 hours
identifying key informants and compiling information from various
organizational units involved in SNAP. They are likely to include human
resources (for training), loss prevention (for loss prevention
management and loss prevention procedures used), point of sale
management and analytics. The company SNAP representative will spend
between 0.75 (web-based response or CATI survey response) hours
completing the survey, including time to report on SNAP-specific
activities and policies carried out by the SNAP representative and
information compiled from other units involved in SNAP. Managers of
2,000 stores will spend an average of 0.75 hours each to respond to the
Store Manager Survey.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1,974.43 hours.
See the burden table (Table 1) below for estimated total burden for
each type of business respondent and non-respondents.
