Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Comment filed on proposed rule and continue	Conclusion Date: 04/22/2002
	Date Received in OIRA: 02/22/2002
Terms of Clearance: OMB needs additional time, before granting an extension of this survey program, to better evaluate the need and purposes of the survey. It is unclear, based on the justification provided, that the expanded survey yields sufficient additional benefits to warrent the expense and survey burden involved. Please see also BTS staff comments of 4/19/02. According to BTS, the importance of State estimates is not well explained in the documentation. Requiring state level estimates (by licensed and non-licensed) greatly expands the needed sample size, overall costs, and burdens.
