Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Quality Control Review
Schedule (FNS 380)
OMB Control Number: 0584–0074
Summary of Collection: 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.
State agencies are required to perform
Quality Control (QC) reviews for the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP). In order to determine
the accuracy of SNAP benefits
authorized by State agencies, a
statistical sample of SNAP cases is
selected for review from each State
agency. Relevant information from the
case record, investigative work and
documentation about individual cases is
recorded on the form FNS–380,
Worksheet for SNAP Quality Control
Reviews.
The purpose is for State agencies to
analyze each household case record
including planning and carrying out the
field investigation; gathering,
comparing, analyzing and evaluating the
review of data and forwarding selected
cases to the Food and Nutrition Service
for Federal validation, for the entire
caseload.
Need and Use of the Information:
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 and to ensure program
integrity. FNS will produce a report of
our findings.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Advanced Meat Recovery.
OMB Number: 0583–0130.
Expiration Date of Approval: 5/31/
2020.
Type of Request: Renewal of an
approved information collection.
Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the
authority to exercise the functions of the
Secretary (7 CFR 2.18 and 2.53), as
specified in the Federal Meat Inspection
Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.). This
statute mandates that FSIS protect the
public by verifying that meat products
are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and
properly labeled and packaged.
FSIS is announcing its intention to
request renewal of the approved
information collection regarding the
regulatory requirements associated with
the production of meat from advanced
meat recovery systems. There are no
changes to the existing information
collection. The approval for this
information collection will expire on
May 31, 2020.
The regulations at 9 CFR 318.24 state
that meat, as defined in 9 CFR 301.2,
may be derived by mechanically
separating skeletal muscle tissue from
the bones of livestock, other than skulls
or vertebral column bones of cattle 30
months of age and older as provided in
9 CFR 310.22, using advances in
mechanical meat/bone separation
machinery (i.e., AMR systems) that,
recover meat (1) without significant
incorporation of bone solids or bone
marrow as measured by the presence of
calcium and iron in excess of the
requirements in this section, and (2)
without the presence of any brain,
trigeminal ganglia, spinal cord, or dorsal
root ganglia. As a prerequisite to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:19 Feb 10, 2020
Jkt 250001
labeling or using AMR product,
establishments are to develop,
implement, and maintain written
procedures that ensure that the
establishment’s production process is in
control, which includes testing for
calcium, iron, spinal cord, and dorsal
root ganglia, documenting testing
protocols, handling product in a manner
that does not cause product to be
misbranded or adulterated, and
maintaining records on a daily basis
sufficient to document the
implementation and verification of its
production process.
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment:
Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates
that it will take respondents an average
of a half hour per response.
Respondents: Official establishments
that produce meat from AMR systems.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 47.
Estimated No. of Annual Responses
per Respondent: 900.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 21,159 hours.

assessment can be obtained from Gina

Inspection Service, USDA, 1400

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FSIS’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of FSIS’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the method and assumptions
used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
