Correction: SNAP Non-Discretionary Quality Control Provisions of Title IV of the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018

In an interim final rule published on Aug. 13, 2021 (86 FR 44575), amendatory instruction 8b incorrectly called for revising paragraph (b) in § 275.21. It should have instructed a revision to paragraph (b) introductory text. This led to the erroneous removal of paragraphs (b)(1) through (4).

In addition, the preamble of the interim final rule discussed amending paragraph (b)(1) to update language associated with state agencies submitting “edited findings” for the FNS Form-380-1 and FNS Form 245 and to update outdated language regarding the technology used for submitting findings to FNS. However, the amendatory text for these changes were erroneously excluded from the published rule. Therefore, this document makes a correcting amendment to § 275.21(b) to restore and revise the text for paragraph (b)(1) and restore the erroneously lost regulatory text for paragraphs (b)(2) through (4).

All other regulatory provisions in the Aug. 13, 2021, interim final rule remain unchanged. This document also extends the comment period for the interim final rule until Nov. 1, 2021 to provide the public ample time to consider these amendments.
