Title: STATE MQC SAMPLING PLANS
Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 12/14/1987
	Date Received in OIRA: 09/08/1987
Terms of Clearance: Under the present scheme, inappropriate burdens appear to be placed on some States while Federal needs for precision and error measurement are not well served. For example, Massachusetts with a caseload of 62,000, is required to take a sample of 875 each 6 months, while Missouri with a caseload of 108,000, has a required sample of 275. This submission is approved through 2/88 under the condition that HCFA submit to OMB alternative proposals for redesign of the MAO sample requirement on States for possible implementation in the FY 89 samples. These alternatives should: o reflect actual caseloads and actual dollar error variances, and o take into account State resources, the burden of conducting MEQC, and the desired precision of error measures.
