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.
