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 type of respondent. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated Estimated Estimated total Estimated average Estimated Respondent number of responses total annual number of of total hours respondents annually per responses hours per (Col. dxe) respondent (Col. bxc) response ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden:........................
