clearance does not extend to the survey instruments because the
agency has advised OMB that they are still being revised. When this
information collection request is resubmitte for OMB review, the
agency should address the following concerns: 1)provide an
explanation of the basis for selection of sample, 2)reevaluate the
expected rate of attrition of sample cases at the 1-year follow-up
to ensure that the survey outcome will not be adversely affected,
3)update the package to include the outcome of the pretest,
4)provide assurances of the information collection's practica
utility and the absence of unnecessary duplication by explaining
how this study fits into the agency's other information collections
developed or under-development to meet the reporting requirements
in P.L. 100-294, and 5) provide the final versions of the survey
instruments which reflect any and all modifications to-date,
including those made in response to the pretest and/or to adapt
questions for telephone administration.
