Title: Quality Control Review Schedule.

OMB Control Number: 0584-0299.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2023.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The FNS-380-1, Quality Control Review Schedule (QCRS),
was developed by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) for State use to
collect both QC data and case characteristics for SNAP and to serve as
the comprehensive data entry form for SNAP QC reviews. The legislative
basis for the QC system is in Section 16 of the Food and Nutrition Act
of 2008, as amended (the Act). Part 275, Subpart C, of SNAP regulations
implements the legislative mandates found in Section 16. The regulatory
basis for the QC reporting requirements is provided by 7 CFR 275.14(d)
and 7 CFR 275.21. State agencies are required to perform QC reviews for
SNAP. The information needed to complete this form is obtained from the
SNAP case record through State agency quality control findings. The
information is used to monitor and reduce errors, develop policy
strategies, and analyze household characteristic data.
