Title: Food Security Supplement to the Current Population Survey II
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 08/19/1996
	Date Received in OIRA: 06/20/1996
Terms of Clearance: This collection is approved on the following conditions: 1) Since the relationships on which the model is based may change over time, this or any similar model should be recalibrated using the best available information and methods before this proposal is submitted for future actions (e.g., within 3 years); 2) The instrument must be modified so as to omit the low reliability questions numbered 53-55, but to retain questions currently numbered 56-58; We also note that the Rasch model that the agency employs to analyse the data is inherently incapable of providing any empirical basis for the categorical distinctions the agency wishes to impose. The categorization of responses into Food- insecure Households with Hunger Not Evident, Households with resource-constrained hunger evident for adult member(s) (food- insecure level II), and Households with resource-constrained hunger evident for child(ren) and/or adult(s) (food-insecure level III) is not supported by the Rasch Model-based analysis or any other rigorous analysis the agency has presented to this point. We understand that the agency plans future analysis to try to determine whether the underlying variable of food- insecurity is continuous or discrete. Depending on the outcome of that analysis, in the future there may be empirical grounds for such categorical distinctions.
