Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Worksheet for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program 
Quality Control Reviews.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0074.
    Summary of Collection: State agencies are required to perform 
Quality Control Reviews for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 
Program (SNAP). In order to determine the accuracy of SNAP benefits 
authorized by State agencies, a statistical sample of SNAP cases is 
selected for review from each State agency. Relevant information from 
the case record, investigative work and documentation about individual 
cases is recorded on the FNS-380, Worksheet for SNAP Quality Control 
Reviews. This information, along with supporting documentation, is the 
basis for the determination of the accuracy of the case. Section 16 of 
the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 provides the legislative basis for 
the operation of the QC system.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Food and Nutrition Service 
(FNS) will use the information from the FNS-380 to record identifying 
information about the household and to also document and evaluate each 
step of the field investigation process to determine eligibility and 
payment amounts under FNS' approved State agency practices.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government; 
individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 56,118.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion; 
Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 500,301.

Food Nutrition Service

    Title: Monthly Claim for Reimbursement.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0284.
    Summary of Collection: The Child Nutrition Act of 1966 requires 
that educational agencies disburse and appropriate funds during the 
fiscal year for the purposes of carrying out provisions of the Special 
Milk Program (SMP). The National School Lunch Act requires that State 
educational agency appropriated funds for any fiscal year for the 
purposes of fulfilling the earned reimbursement set forth in National 
School Lunch, Breakfast, and Special Milk Programs. The Food and 
Nutrition Service will use the monthly claim reimbursement form FNS-
806A and 806B to fulfill the earned requirements identified in these 
programs, National School Lunch Program (NSLP), SMP, and the School 
Breakfast Program (SBP).
    Need and Use of the Information: The information is collected 
electronically from school food authorities that participate in NSLP, 
School Breakfast Program (SBP), and SMP programs. The forms contain 
meal and cost data collected from authorized program participants. 
Also, these forms are essential part of the accounting system used by 
the subject programs to ensure proper reimbursement. This information 
is collected monthly because of the constant fluctuation in school 
enrollment and program participation. Program participants would not 
receive the monthly reimbursement earned and the Agency would lose 
program accountability, if this information were collect less 
frequently.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 233.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Monthly.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,398.
