Retrieve Notice of Action (NOA) 03/17/1995
This collection is approved on the following conditions: FCS agrees to (1) ask information of the State only if that informa- tion is not already known by the agency (e.g. if FCS already knows whether the State has specific criminal statutes covering food stamp related crimes, it will provide the interviewer and the state the information in advance and only request confirmation by the State for that particular question); (2) collapse questions #5 and #6 into one question to focus on what agreements exist and the reasons for signing; (3) reword question #13 to focus on "level of success" rather than "level of cooperation"; (4) delete questions #30-42 which are particularly burdensome since the data is not currently kept by the states and may not be readily available to the respondent; (5) delete question #49 since respondents are not likely to know the answer to the question and it forces them to make causal inferences in areas where the relationship between the SLEB agreement and the level of anti-fraud activity is not known; and (6) delete question #55(a) as this question is too subjective and is not likely to yield useful information to the Department.

The goals of this study of the State Law Enforcement Bureau (SLEB) agreements are to describe the levels of investigative activity into food stamp trafficking generated by the agreements and to assess possible reasons for variations in performance. USDA/FCS executed the SLEB agreements as a way for states to use FCS-issued coupons in investigating violations of laws governing the Food Stamp Program.
