Sec. 275.8  Review coverage.



    (a) During each review period, State agencies shall review the 

national target areas of program operation specified by FNS. FNS will 

notify State agencies of the minimum program areas to be reviewed at 

least 90 days before the beginning of each annual review period, which 

is the Federal fiscal year. FNS may add additional areas

during the review period if deemed necessary. The FNS headquarters 

office will add national target areas during the review period only for 

deficiencies of national scope. State agencies have 60 days in which to 

establish a plan schedule for such reviews.

    (b) State agencies shall be responsible for reviewing each national 

target area or other program requirement based upon the provisions of 

the regulations governing the Food Stamp Program and the FNS-approved 

Plan of Operation. If FNS approves a State agency's request for a waiver 

from a program requirement, any different policy approved by FNS would 

also be reviewed. When, in the course of a review, a project area is 

found to be out of compliance with a given program requirement, the 

State agency shall identify the specifics of the problem including: the 

extent of the deficiency, the cause of the deficiency, and, as 

applicable, the specific procedural requirements the project area is 

misapplying.
