Instructions
FNS Form 74B - QC-Related New Investment Plan Progress Report Template
FNS form 74B is designed to allow for flexibility and should be used as an example of the specific information FNS is
requiring for the QC-Related New Investment Plan progress reports rather than specifying the method to be used in
explaining the plan's status.
Due Dates:
Reports are due biannually on May 10 and November 10 of each year. The first report's due date will be provided by
FNS. For the first report, States should reflect the status of their activities in the months since the Plan's approval and for
all subsequent reports States should reflect the status of each activity over the months since the previous report. The
May 10 report will include activities performed during the October-March time period and the November 10 report will
cover activities during the April-September time period.
Structure:
The progress report requests basic information on the status of the activities that were outlined in the State's plan.
Section I identifies the liability year-related information and the submitted report number;
Section II requests details about the progress/status of each activity being implemented, the financial details
associated with each activity, and an overall summary to date of the State's Plan implementation; and
Section III when the next progress report is due and if there are any changes to the number of anticipated
reports. It also provides space for updates on who in the State agency is responsible for submitting the reports
and implementing the Plan.
The number of progress reports required for each QC-Related New Investment Plan will vary by State depending on the
timeline and specific activities outlined in it's submitted plan. In the event a State finds it requires more or fewer reports
during implementation, the reporting schedule can be adjusted.
