Title: Worksheet for the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program’s Quality
Control Reviews.
Form Number: FNS 380.
OMB Control Number: 0584–0074.
Expiration Date: September 30, 2019.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 16 of the Food and
Nutrition Act of 2008 provides the
legislative basis for the operation of the
Quality Control (QC) system. Part 275,
Subpart C, of SNAP regulations
implements the legislative mandates
found in Section 16. Regulations at 7
CFR 275.1, 275.14(d) and 275.21(a) and
(b)(1) provide the regulatory basis for
the QC reporting requirements.
Section 11(a) of the Food and
Nutrition Act of 2008 provides the
legislative basis for the recordkeeping
requirements. SNAP regulations, at 7
CFR 272.1(f), specify that program
records must be retained for three years
from the month of origin. Regulations at
7 CFR 275.4 specifically address record
retention requirements for form FNS–
380.
Form FNS–380, is a SNAP worksheet
used to determine eligibility and
benefits for households selected for
review in the QC sample of active SNAP
cases. This form provides a systematic
means of aiding the State’s Quality
Control Reviewer in analyzing the case
record, planning and doing field
investigation and gathering, comparing,
analyzing and evaluating data.
We estimate the total reporting
burden for the collection of information
to support SNAP QC as 428,745.53
hours. This includes approximately 8.9
hours for State Agencies to analyze each
household case record including
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
PO 00000

Federal validation, totaling
approximately 404,923.30 hours for the
entire caseload. We are also including
an average interview burden of 30
minutes (0.5 hours) for each household,
creating a reporting burden for them for
22,748.50 hours. Additionally, we
estimate the recordkeeping burden per
record for the State Agencies to be
0.0236 hours, thereby making the
recordkeeping burden associated with
this information collection for the State
Agencies to be 1,073.73 hours. The total
estimated reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection is 428,745.53
hours and 136,491 total annual
responses for reporting and
recordkeeping.
Based on the most recent table of
active case sample sizes and completion
rates (FY2017), we estimate 45,497
FNS–380 worksheets and interviews
will now be completed annually. We are
requesting a three-year approval from
OMB for this information collection.
Affected Public: 45,550 (Households,
and State, Local and Tribal
Governments: Respondent groups
identified include: 45,497 Households
and 53 State Agencies).
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1,718 (The total number of
responses per household is 1 and total
number of responses per State, Local
and Tribal Governments is 1,717 to
include reporting and recordkeeping
responses).
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
136,491. This includes 45,497 sampled
active cases for QC review, 45,497
reporting households, and 45,497
records being maintained by 53 State
Agencies.
Estimated Time per Response: 9.42
hours (The estimated time of response
for State Agencies to report is
approximately 534 minutes, 30 minutes
for households to report, and the
estimated response time for State
Agencies to do recordkeeping is
approximately 1.42 minutes. Therefore,
the total time per response is
approximately 565.42 minutes or 9.42
hours.)
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 428,745.53 hours. This
includes 405,997.03 for State Agencies
reporting and recordkeeping plus
27,748.50 Households reporting only.
See the table below for estimated total
annual burden for each type of
respondent.
