Justification for Non-substantive Change

June 2021

Non-substantive change request for the Refrigerated Storage Capacity questionnaire (0535-0001)

The Refrigerated Storage Capacity survey is conducted only in odd numbered years. The next round of data collection will be in October 2021. In an effort to improve the data collected, several minor changes have been made to the questionnaire. These changes include the addition of several yes/no questions to clarify any changes to the data reported by the respondents in 2019.

The questions dealing with convertible space will be removed. These questions were only used internally for editing purposes and they seemed to have been confusing to some respondents.

4. CONVERTIBLE SPACE: (Report under freezer)	Cubic Feet
a. How much of the (Item 3) useable freezer area can be converted to cooler rooms? . . . . . . . . . . .	049
b. How much of this (Item 4a) convertible space is now used as coolers? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .	014

Other changes to the questionnaire are mainly cosmetic.

There are no changes in the sample size or respondent burden from what was originally approved.
