Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 10/26/1990
	Date Received in OIRA: 07/30/1990
Terms of Clearance: The survey instrument, excluding the overall methodology design, is approved for pilot testing through 6/91 under the condition that HCFA: 1) Add questions to the pilot test that will allow estimation of the appropriate time frame for the survey design. Consideration of the time frame necessary to meet research objectives may lead to redesign of the survey's final sampling/panel design. Prior to the next clearance submission, HCFA should summarize responses to these new questions, and present alternative survey designs to OMB, 2) Revise race and ethnicity questions so they are consistent with OMB Statistical Directive No. 15., 3) Submit to OMB a report that discusses the evaluation of the pilot test results, and 4) Include in the evaluation of the pilot test, a detailed analysis of the characteristics of all items with nonresponse below 70 percent. OMB believes that questions such as K 35 (laboratories which performed tests) may fall into this nonresponse category.
