Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Quality Control Review 

Schedule (FNS 380) Control (Associated 

with Interim Final Rule E64). 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0074. 

Summary of Collection: Section 16 of 

the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 

provides the legislative basis for the 

operation of the Quality Control (QC) 

system. Part 275, Subpart C, of SNAP 

regulations implements the legislative 

mandates found in Section 16. 

Regulations at 7 CFR 275.1, 275.14(d) 

and 275.21(a) and (b)(1) provide the 

regulatory basis for the QC reporting 

requirements. Section 11(a) of the Food 

and Nutrition Act of 2008 provides the 

legislative basis for the recordkeeping 

requirements. SNAP regulations, at 7 

CFR 272.1(f), specify that program 

records must be retained for three years 

from the month of origin. Regulations at 

7 CFR 275.4 specifically address record 

retention requirements for form FNS– 

380. 

State agencies are required to perform 

Quality Control (QC) 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 form FNS–380, 

Worksheet for SNAP Quality Control 

Reviews. 

The purpose is for State agencies to 

analyze each household case record 

including planning and carrying out the 

field investigation; gathering, 

comparing, analyzing and evaluating the 

review of data and forwarding selected 

cases to the Food and Nutrition Service 

for Federal validation, for the entire 

caseload. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Form FNS–380, is a SNAP worksheet 

used to determine eligibility and 

benefits for households selected for 

review in the quality control sample of 

active cases and to ensure program 

integrity. FNS will produce a report of 

our findings. 

Description of Respondents: 53 State, 

Local, or Tribal Government; 45,497 

Individuals/Households. 

Number of Respondents: 45,550. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting; 

Recordkeeping: Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 405,996 for 

reporting and recordkeeping. 

Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program Regulations— 

Quality Control (Associated with 

Interim Final Rule AE64). 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0303. 

Summary of Collection: Section 16 of 

the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, 

provides the legislative basis for the 

operation of the Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program (SNAP) Quality 

Control system. The Food and Nutrition 

Service (FNS), as administrator of the 

SNAP, requires each State agency to 

implement a quality control system to 

provide basis for determining each State 

agency’s error rates through review of a 

sample of SNAP cases. Each State 

agency is responsible for the design and 

selection of the quality control samples 

and must submit a quality control 

sampling plan for approval to FNS. 

However, State agencies are required to 

maintain case records for three years to 

ensure compliance with provisions of 

the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. 

In addition, the date of an 

administrative closure could cause the 

case to be kept more than three years 

after the initial case review. This 

particularly impacts the arbitration 

component of this collection. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

quality control sampling plan is 

necessary for FNS to monitor State 

operations and is essential to the 

determination of a State agency’s error 

rate and corresponding entitlement to 

increased Federal share of its 

administrative costs or liability for 

sanctions. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

Local, or Tribal Government; Federal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 53. 

Frequency of Responses: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion; 

Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 2,829.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Request for Information (RFI) 

Regarding Wildfire Crisis 

Implementation Plan 

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture 

(USDA). 

ACTION: Request for information. 

SUMMARY: The Forest Service invites 

public comment on the framework, 

focus, and direction of its Wildfire 

Crisis Implementation Plan associated 

with the Wildfire Crisis Strategy and 

specific provisions of the Infrastructure 

Investment and Jobs Act, 2021. This 

Implementation Plan differs from a land 

management plan, which is a 

requirement of the National Forest 

Management Act. The Wildfire Crisis 

Implementation Plan will provide a 

cross-jurisdictional blueprint for 

coordination, collaboration and funding 

of restoration treatments specifically 

designed to reduce wildfire risk to 

people, communities, and natural 

resources in high priority, at-risk 

landscapes. It is intended to be a living 

document informed by public 

engagement and outreach, and projects/ 

actions will comply with National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

accordingly. We invite public comment 

on specific elements of the 

Implementation Plan, per questions 

outlined below. Comments will be 

considered in further developing and 

refining approaches taken by the Forest 

Service. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by July 6, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments 

concerning this notice should be sent 

via email to https://cara.fs2c.usda.gov/ 

Public/CommentInput?project=NP3172.

Individuals who use telecommunication 

devices for the deaf or hard of hearing 

(TDD) may call the Federal Relay 

Service (FRS) at 800–877–8339 24 hours 

a day, every day of the year, including 

holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of this RFI is to inform the 

public and gather feedback on potential 

future implementation efforts associated 

with provisions of the Infrastructure 

Investment and Jobs Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 

117–58, Division D Title VIII, Sec. 

40803(b)) and the Forest Service’s 

Wildfire Crisis Strategy (https://

www.fs.usda.gov/sites/default/files/ 

Confronting-Wildfire-Crisis.pdf). This 

Implementation Plan differs from a land 

management plan, which is a 

requirement of the National Forest 

Management Act and ‘‘guides 

management of National Forest System 

lands’’ (36 CFR 219.1(c)). 

Background. The past 10 wildfire 

seasons, including 2020–2021, 

highlighted the incredible challenges 

associated with keeping communities 

safe and more resilient to the impacts of 

climate change and extreme weather 

events. These challenges underscore a 

growing need for a new land 

management approach within the Forest 

Service—one that is designed to support 

strategic management and restoration of 

millions of acres of land in high-risk 

areas to protect forest health, watershed 

function, and human infrastructure. 

With the need for increased pace and 

scale of restoration associated with the 

Wildfire Crisis Strategy, the Forest 

Service aims to approach on-going 

challenges holistically and in 

partnership with employees, multiple 

agencies, Tribal and other governments, 

communities, industries, organizations, 

and private landowners. 

To help inform the development of 

the Implementation Plan, the Forest 

Service has partnered with the National 

Forest Foundation to host a series of 

virtual roundtable discussions with 

internal and external audiences. Eight 

regional roundtables have been 

conducted since February 2022, and two 

additional roundtables are planned 

(Region 9- May 31, June 1–2 and Region 

10- June 7–9). These roundtables are 

intended to strengthen shared 

approaches to how the Forest Service, 

Tribal Nations, State and local 

governments, Federal agencies, and 

partners work together to reduce risk by 

moving from small-scale, independently 

managed treatments to strategic, 

science-based, landscape-scale 

treatments. Information on the 

roundtable discussions hosted by the 

National Forest Foundation can be 

found at https://www.nationalforests.

org/collaboration-resources/wildfirecrisis-strategy-roundtables. 

Input Requested. Input is sought on 

the key thematic questions covered in 

roundtable discussions to ensure that 

the Agency develops its Implementation 

Plan with diverse input from all 

involved, interested, and affected 

parties. Our intent with the issuance of 

this notice is to consider such input 

and, as appropriate, incorporate it to 

update and refine the Wildfire Crisis 

Implementation Plan (https://

www.fs.usda.gov/sites/default/files/ 

Wildfire-Crisis-ImplementationPlan.pdf). The Forest Service is 

especially interested in receiving input 

on the following topics, listed 

alphabetically with questions for 

consideration: 

Cross-boundary Partnerships. No 

single entity can accomplish all the 

work needed to achieve the collective 

restoration that our forests and 

communities need. We must build and 

maintain multi-jurisdictional coalitions 

to work across landscapes, leverage 

capacity, and build public and 

community support for this work. Key 

questions associated with crossboundary partnerships include: What 

are examples of successful tools and 

approaches to multi-jurisdictional 

restoration work? Are there process or 

policy barriers to cross-boundary 

partnerships that you have encountered, 

including an ability to reach underserved populations, and if so, what are 

some potential solutions to these 

barriers? What can we readily build 

upon at a regional or national level to 

advance cross-boundary partnerships 

and large-scale forest resiliency? 

Forest Products and Markets. The 

wood products industry has been, and 

will remain, an important partner for 

helping to achieve restoration outcomes 

and reduce wildfire risk. New and 

innovative uses of forest products not 

only support restoration and reduce 

risk, but also sequester large quantities 

of carbon. In these efforts, we will need 

to explore current market capacity and 

room for innovation. Key questions 

associated with forest products and 

markets include: What are the on-going 

challenges to a healthy forest products 

market? How might the Forest Service, 

Tribal Nations, State and local 

governments, and other organizations 

work together to grow markets and 

market potential? What opportunities 

are there to expand market potential and 

access tribal and underserved 

communities? 

Outcome-based Metrics and 

Prioritization. We are focused on 

outcome-based work to achieve 

mutually desired priorities, including 

risk to people, communities, natural 

resources, and other values at the 

landscape scale. We will develop 

outcome-based performance measures to 

track accomplishments, to measure 

effectiveness, and to inform continued
