OMB appreciates the assistance FCC provided in addressing our concerns with this survey. OMB recommends that the introduction clearly inform the respondent that their responses will be kept confidential (or that responses will not be linked to a particular respondent). Section D and other questions related to the respondent's relationship with the owner of the station should be safeguarded to the same degree that station strategy is in Section E. Periodically reminding respondents of the confidentiality of their responses should encourage them to be forthecoming.
