Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 04/20/1994
	Date Received in OIRA: 01/25/1994
Terms of Clearance: Approved as amended by ED's memoranda to OMB of 4/7/94 and 4/15/94. Approval is based on the following conditions: -- The study shall be implemented and reported as exploratory only. The sampling frame that ED has developed will not allow for a representative sample of hard of hearing persons. This information shall not be used to formulate policy, but rather to generate hypothes for future research and improve ED's understanding of the needs of thi population in the States that are surveyed. However, because the participating States are included in part based on their interest in t project's success, results from these States are not generalizable to the Nation. -- ED shall not present the findings of this study as reflecting perso not receiving services for the hard of hearing. The only source of su respondents will be lists of private interest groups, which introduces selection bias since persons not listed and not receiving services -- who are likely to differ from persons listed -- will not be surveyed. -- ED shall send a copy of the final report resulting from this exploratory study to OMB.
