The agency is
reminded that the target response rate for surveys is 80% and that
surveys with lower response rates must include some means of
investigating nonresponse bias. When the agency resubmits this
collection for a full three-year approval, it must include
information on response rates to date and any nonresponse bias
investigations conducted.
