	Date Received in OIRA: 01/21/2000
Terms of Clearance: OMB approves this package as amended 2/18/2000. However, OMB still is concerned that HRSA's estimated response rates are too optimistic and the sampling frame may not be large enough to ensure the results are unbiased and representative. No later than 5/1/2000, HRSA must submit to OMB an analysis plan for evaluating nonparticipating and nonresponse bias and a set of benchmarks for monitoring response rates and bias. If at these benchmarks HRSA determines that overall or subgroup response rates will fall below 80%, HRSA must have contingency plans for raising the rates and minimizing bias. For example, HRSA and its contractors may consider more telephone follow-up calls and collection of a subset of survey information via telephone.
