How does FAS schedule reviews?
Every effort is made to review as many FAS program participants as possible each year. However, priority is given to reviewing new participants, large participants and participants with previous review findings. In addition, FAS commodity and marketing program managers provide input into the annual review plan. Although some participants may only be reviewed every second, third, or fourth year, these reviews will cover the entire period of time since the last review. FAS contacts each participant at least 30 days prior to the start of a review and follows up with a written confirmation of the review dates.
