    Title: Quality Control Review Schedule.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0299.
    Summary of Collection: States agencies are required to perform 
Quality Control (QC) review for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 
Program (SNAP). The FNS-380-1, Quality Control Review Schedule is for 
State use to collect both QC data and case characteristics for SNAP and 
to serve as the comprehensive data entry form for SNAP QC reviews. The 
legislative basis for the operation of the QC system is provided by 
Section 16 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Food and Nutrition Service 
(FNS) will collect information to monitor and reduce errors, develop 
policy strategies, and analyze household characteristic data. In 
addition, FNS will use the data to determine sanctions and bonus 
payments based on error rate performance, and to estimate the impact of 
some program changes to SNAP participation and costs by analyzing the 
available household characteristic data.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local and Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 53.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Monthly; Weekly.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 59,450.
