proposed rule titled, ``Provisions to Improve the Supplemental 
Nutrition Assistance Program's Quality Control System,'' that published 
in the Federal Register on September 19, 2023, and its correction on 
December 19, 2023. This rule proposed amendments to Supplemental 
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) regulations to strengthen and 
improve the integrity and accuracy of the SNAP quality control (QC) 
system as requested by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018.

DATES: As of January 6, 2025, the proposed rule published on September 
19, 2023, at 88 FR 64756, and its correction on December 19, 2023, at

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Buhrig, 703-305-2022, Food 
and Nutrition Service, 1320 Braddock Place, 5th Floor, Alexandria, 
Virginia 22314, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Upon further deliberation, FNS has decided 
to consider additional provisions to the proposed rule titled, 
``Provisions to Improve the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's 
Quality Control System.'' As such, FNS has decided to withdraw the 
proposed rule published in the Federal Register on September 19, 2023, 
and its correction published on December 19, 2023. FNS will continue to 
engage with stakeholders on possible regulatory improvements to the 
SNAP QC system and will consider additional approaches to strengthen 
and improve the integrity and accuracy of the SNAP QC system. FNS will 
also continue to focus on improving monitoring and oversight efforts, 
including providing State agencies with technical assistance on 
corrective actions, to address existing state performance issues 
related to payment accuracy, major system failures, and application 
timeliness.
