This form provides a systematic means of aiding the State's Quality Control Reviewer in analyzing the case record, planning and doing field investigation and gathering, comparing, analyzing and evaluating data.
This is a request to reinstate an expired information collection. Due to statue, FNS is still legally required to collection this data and thereby continuing to collection in violation of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The current burden inventory is 518,930 burden hours. The revised OMB inventory for the reporting and recordkeeping burden associated with the FNS-380 is approximately 405,995.50 annual burden hours (382,173.04 SA reporting + 22,748.50 I/H reporting + 1,073.73 SA recordkeeping) and 318,477.95 total annual response (227,483.95 SA reporting + 45,497 I/H reporting + 45,497 SA recordkeeping). This program adjustment reflects a decrease of approximately -112,935 burden hours and an increase of 153,277 total annual responses. The difference is primarily a result of the decrease in the overall active household caseload sample reported where the number of completed reviews decreased from 55,067 to 45,497 since our last collection and an increase in the total annual responses due to a miscalculations in how to account for the different burden activities.
