	Date Received in OIRA: 12/02/1994
Terms of Clearance: OMB approves a pretest for NMES III through 1/96. Prior to fielding this particular CAPI instrument, however, OMB requests that PHS discusses how they will be coordinating existing health data collection activities to improve the quality and timeliness of health data for Executive Branch policy development. Such discussions will necessitate a series of briefings/meetings with OMB staff over the next few weeks. The first briefing should take place no later than 3/9/95 and at a minimum should outline the following: 1) the extent to which NMES III is coordinated with NHIS, NEHIS, and other PHS instruments for the purposes of enhancing data and updating utilization and expenditure data more frequently than every ten years; 2) in general, how the design differences between the NMES, NEHIS and other instruments are being minimized through the use of algorithms and other means and 3) similarities and differences between the questions included in the NEHIS, NHIS, NMES and other PHS instruments. As a result of these discussions, OMB may request that the NMES CAPI instrument be revised to maximize its coordination with NEHIS, NHIS, and other instruments. PHS also should understand that OMB may recommend future amendments to the other instruments.
