Short Statement:
This is a revision of a currently approved data collection associated with rulemaking. The proposed OMB inventory for the reporting and recordkeeping burdens associated with the FNS-380-1 is 64,542.80 annual burden hours. The difference between the old burden of 60,191 and the new burden of 64,542.80 is an increase of 4,351.80 hours. This difference is primarily a result of an increase in caseload where the number of completed reviews went up from 56,065 to 59,831 since our last collection revision. The increase is also attributed to an increase in the recordkeeping burden by .006 hours for each response because of a new recording requirement of all QC errors and error causing variances. This new requirement was recently published in QC final rule titled, "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Quality Control Error Tolerance Threshold," which was published on November 1, 2011 (Vol. 26, No. 211, Pg. 67315), which went into effect on January 3, 2012.
