Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Form FNS 380-1 is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program's (SNAP) Quality Control (QC) Review Schedule which collects QC
and household characteristics data. The information needed to complete
this form is obtained from the SNAP case record and state quality
control findings. The information is used to monitor and reduce errors,
develop policy strategies and analyze household characteristic data. We
estimate that it takes 1.05 hours per response and .0236 hours per
record for recordkeeping to complete the form.
Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Government: Respondent
groups identified include: 53 State agencies.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: The total estimated
number of responses per respondent is 1,039.02.
Estimated Frequency per Respondent: 1.9980769.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: The estimated total annual
responses are 110,136. This includes 55,068 sampled active cases for QC
review and the same 55,068 records being kept by the 53 State agencies.
Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time of response for
State agencies to report is approximately 63.36 minutes and the
estimated response time for State agencies to do recordkeeping is
approximately 1.42 minutes. Therefore, the total time per response is
approximately 64.78 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 3,567,055.8 minutes
(59,450.93 hours). See the table below for estimated total annual
burden for each type of respondent.
