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.
