and San Francisco. Each is responsible for a serving a specific

- State System Projects Oversight/Monitoring
- APD Technical Assistance & Guidance
- APD Oversight Committee Staff Support
All APD Documents and related issues should be
directed to the State Systems Chief
with a copy (preferably electronic) to the cognizant Regional Office Regional
Administrator. State Systems works
with program staff in each Region to ensure documents are reviewed and an
approval decision rendered in a timely manner. APD approval
authority is at the Regional Office level. Projects exceeding $5,000,000
in Food Stamp Federal financial participation (FFP) and exceeding $3,000,000 in
WIC funding require approval concurrence by the APD Oversight Committee located
at FNS Headquarters. Projects deemed not approvable do not require APD Oversight Committee concurrence. Appeals of
unapproved projects should be submitted to the attention of the cognizant
Regional Administrator.
Formal submission of all APDs should be submitted electronically to the cognizant
Regional Administrator and to the
State Systems Chief.
Electronic submissions via e-mail are acceptable and encouraged with the condition that a
scanned copy of the signed transmittal letter is included. Hardcopy should follow that includes
the original signature
of the State authority requesting Federal funds.
