Title: EVALUATION OF PARTICIPATION IN NATIONAL UTILIZATION SURVEYS
Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved	Conclusion Date: 12/10/1981
	Date Received in OIRA: 10/13/1981
Terms of Clearance: Not approved. Because of possible, if not probable changes in policy officials in the target institutions, the likelihood of obtaining meaningful information about the reasons for participation/non-participation is doubtful. In addition, even if the deciding official could be located, it is doubtful that they would recall reasons for refusing to participate. For the purpose of "gaining and maintaining high levels of support from health facilities selected into the samples for utilization surveys conducted by NCHS," such an evaluation can be incorporated into any current or future surveys of hospitals at far less cost to the Federal Government.
