The existing
FNS-46 form is approved for use through October 1988. We would like
the following issues addressed before we approve the revised FNS-46
form: -Why is the form organized by Master File and Record for
Issuance Reconciliation and not by State Agency Liabilities like
the existing form? -Why does FNS need the extra detail provided in
questions 8 a & b, 11 a & b, 14 a & b, and 23 a &
b? -Could questions 15-23 be grouped into some sort of meaningful
group or groups? Does the State's liability change for any of these
categories? Why does FNS need the extra detail? FNS should resubmit
this package with the answers to these questions before the new
rule goes final.
