SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Quality Control Review
Schedule.
Form Number: FNS 380.
OMB Number: 0584–0074.
Expiration Date: May 31, 2016.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Form FNS–380, is a
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program worksheet used to determine
eligibility and benefits for households
selected for review in the quality control
sample of active SNAP cases. We
estimate the total reporting burden for
the collection of information to support
SNAP quality control as 517,639.20
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
Federal validation, totaling
approximately 490,096.30 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
27,534.00 hours. Additionally, we
estimate the recordkeeping burden per
record for the State agency to be 0.0236
hours, thereby making the
recordkeeping burden associated with
this information collection for the State
agency to be 1,299.61 hours. The total
estimated reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection is 518,938.81
hours and 165,201 total annual
responses for reporting and
recordkeeping.

The reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this form was previously
approved under OMB clearance number
0584–0074. OMB approved the burden
through May 31, 2016. Based on the
most recent table of active case sample
sizes and completion rates (FY2014), we
estimate 55,067 FNS–380 worksheets
and interviews will now be completed
annually. This is an increase of 3,106
responses from the estimate made to
substantiate the current collection. The
increase in response is a result of an
increase in the number of active 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: 55,120 (Households,
State, Local and Tribal Government:
Respondent groups identified include:
53 State agencies and 55,067
Households.)
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 2.997115 (The total
number of responses per household is 1
and the total estimated number of
responses per State, Local and Tribal
Government respondents is 1,039.)
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
165,201 (This includes 55,067 sampled
active cases for QC review, 55,067
households to report, and the same
55,067 records being kept by the 53
State agencies.)
Estimated Time per Response:
3.1411999 (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: 518,929.38 hours. (This
includes 491,395.88 for SA reporting
and recordkeeping) + 27,533.50 I/H
reporting only) See the table below for
estimated total annual burden for each

addressing these problems. The
