This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

Title: FNS-380-1 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program's Quality Control Review Schedule.
Form Number: FNS 380-1.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0299.
Expiration Date: September 30, 2026.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The FNS-380-1, Quality Control Review Schedule, was developed by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) for State use to collect both Quality Control (QC) data and case characteristics for SNAP and to serve as the comprehensive data entry form for SNAP QC reviews. As required by the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended (the Act), FNS is required to collect QC data and State agencies are required to perform QC reviews for SNAP. The legislative basis for the QC system is in Section 16 of 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. The information needed to complete this form is obtained from the SNAP case record, through State agency quality control interviews with households and collateral contacts, data matches, and verification documents obtained during the QC review. The information is used to monitor and reduce errors, develop policy strategies, and analyze household data.
