Since the
agencies are not employing statistical methods to generate survey
results that are representative of the surveyed population, OMB
considers this to be a qualitative survey. Accordingly, the report
to Congress must state that the survey data are qualitative and
cannot be considered representative of the population. OMB requests
that the agencies share a draft of the report prior to its
submission to Congress.
