Title: Disability Evaluation Study (National Survey on Health and Activity)
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: 10/26/1999
	Date Received in OIRA: 09/02/1999
Terms of Clearance: This collection is approved according to the revisions submittted to OMB on October 21, 1999. In approving this collection, OMB makes an exception to the Census Moratorium for the periods March 1-March 14 and May 16- June 30. No initial contacts with respondents may take place between March 15-May 15, 2000. Approval is granted for the DES pilot study and concept clearance is granted for the main study. Due to the importance of the pilot study in identifying and resolving methodological problems (especially regarding response rates and effectiveness of the respondent screener), there remains a concern that the schedule does not allow adequate time for review and revision between the pilot study and the main study. SSA is to report to OMB by November 2000 on the results of the pilot. SSA must seek clearance for any changes to be made to the main study (including methodological changes and changes to the survey instruments). If the pilot study results reveal methodological problems, a delay in fielding the main study is foreseen in order to fully and confidently resolve pilot study issues.
