Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: In the first two weeks of survey administration, the study team reported that survey staff approached 20 locked multifamily buildings and gated communities to distribute surveys to selected households and were denied access by 14 of those. This has the potential to impact the composition of the sample and response rates. As a result, we are proposing to include an introductory letter from the FNS Project Officer that survey staff can show property managers of locked multifamily buildings and gated communities to support the legitimacy of the survey and facilitate access to these locations. The change results in additional burden to account for the time property managers will spend reading the introductory letter.
