NSC for Generic Clearance for Internet Nonprobability Panel Pretesting and Qualitative Survey Methods Testing

Justification for Nonsubstantive Change to Generic Clearance for Internet Nonprobability Panel Pretesting and Qualitative Survey Methods Testing

OMB Control Number 0607-0978

This is a request for nonsubstantive change. Specifically, we would like to add two additional, qualitative methods for use under this clearance: focus groups and cognitive interviews. These methods would also be used for pretesting purposes, and therefore fit well with the overall purpose and scope of the generic clearance vehicle as initially formulated. In addition, we specifically note that we may, depending on the method used, propose to offer an incentive to respondents to offset costs of their participation. Such requests would be described and a rationale provided in each “mini-generic” request submitted under the generic vehicle, if approved All changes to the original request are shown in purple font in Part A of the request.
