OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 07/01/2008
	Date Received in OIRA: 02/07/2008
Terms of Clearance: Upon submission of Part II of this study, OMB will require the following from FNS: 1) Specific analysis of response patterns and/or response bias for all "check that apply" questions with more than 6 response options, as well as any web tables requiring horizontal scrolling on the survey instrument used in Part I 2) A re-designed questionnaire that draws heavily on already validated instruments and adequately tests new questions. Adequate testing requires cognitive work beyond a simple pilot test. OMB recommends that FNS consult with survey methodologists at one of the two statistical agencies located within the Department of Agriculture for assistance. OMB will look for evidence of such consultation, as well as adequate testing with the submission of the Phase II collection request.
