The agency is
required to monitor distribution and receipt of this survey to
determine the response rate. If the response rate is less than 70%,
the agency must conduct followup contacts to remind respondents of
the survey and encourage responses. Contacts may require sending
additional copies of the survey to ensure respondents have not lost
or misplaced them. The agency must report back to OMB the response
rate for the survey once complete.
