This information
collection is approved as revised by the 6-18-98 memorandum from
HCFA. In addition, in light of the 60% response rate anticipated
for the mentally ill, HCFA may not make any generalizable
conclusions about this subset of the population examined. OMB notes
that a response rate this low will render the data unreliable; and
any publicly released reports or analyses based on these data will
note the response rate unless a substantilly higher rate is
achieved.
