EPA must achieve at least an 80% response rate to its site visit requests and must verify that there is no systematic similarity in terms of known facility characteristics among non-responders. EPA may not apply any findings of this collection to sectors other than those being studied--marinas and metal finishers.

Abstract: EPA's Office of Compliance (OC) is interested in testing methods for collecting outcome data from their compliance assistance efforts. OC is planning to conduct surveys to three sectors to compare two survey methodologies; mailed surveys using the "total design method" and surveys conducted as on-site visits. EPA will also use the survey results to evaluate the impact of compliance assistance activities on facilities in these sectors.
