    Abstract: Form FNS 380-1 is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 
Program's (SNAP) Quality Control (QC) Review Schedule which collects QC 
and household characteristics data. The information needed to complete 
this form is obtained from the SNAP case record and state quality 
control findings. The information is used to monitor and reduce errors, 
develop policy strategies and analyze household characteristic data. We 
estimate that it takes 1.05 hours per response and .0236 hours per 
record for recordkeeping to complete the form.
    Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Government: Respondent 
groups identified include: 53 State agencies.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: The total estimated 
number of responses per respondent is 1,039.02.
    Estimated Frequency per Respondent: 1.9980769.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: The estimated total annual 
responses are 110,136. This includes 55,068 sampled active cases for QC 
review and the same 55,068 records being kept by the 53 State agencies.
    Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time of response for 
State agencies to report is approximately 63.36 minutes and the 
estimated response time for State agencies to do recordkeeping is 
approximately 1.42 minutes. Therefore, the total time per response is 
approximately 64.78 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 3,567,055.8 minutes 
(59,450.93 hours). See the table below for estimated total annual 
burden for each type of respondent.
