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.
