Title: Taking Administrative Actions Pending Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Processing
Abstract: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) seeks to prevent firms from delaying administrative actions, such as disqualification or withdrawal of firms from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), by submitting Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The proposed rulemaking seeks to add regulatory text to provide that any filed or pending FOIA request or appeal will not affect when the Agency takes administrative action against a firm determined to have violated SNAP statute or regulations so that administrative actions against firms can proceed without unnecessary delay
