Approved for use through 1/95 under the condition that no later than 12/93, HCFA provides OMB with an updated analysis of beneficiary non response. This analysis should evaluate non response on an item by item basis, as well as the general non response rate for the entire co instrument and each supplement. OMB continues to have reservations as to whether the response rates of this instrument are sustainable over time, thereby ensuring that the data continues to be useful for longitudinal analysis.
