OMB notes that inappropriate substantive conclusions may be drawn from survey data where the response rate is below 70%. We understand that no statistical reporting or hypothesis testing techniques are valid and that the degree of bias in the responses against the sample frame is unknown in these cases. It appears that this information collection may result in a response rate below 70%. The agency should therefore consider including in its reports of the results of this survey the response rate achieved and demographic information (compared against census and ICI data) to demonstrate biases, if any, which exist in the respondent pool and complete surveys. In addition, should the response rate be too low, the agency should consider refraining from citing specific numerical results.
