Approved
consistent with the changes and clarifications described in DOL
memos of 12-28-99, 12-22-99, and 12-16-99. In addition, BLS shall
observe the following terms of clearance. 1. Approval of the use of
"in-kind" inducements is contingent upon BLS documenting the use of
such incentives as the NLSY is conducted (i.e. When are they used,
after the 4th call or on all calls? Are they used more for specific
categories of respondents? ) BLS shall submit to OMB upon the next
submission of this collection, a justification for the further use
of such incen- tives based on this documentation. Note: OMB
approval of incen- tives in all surveys is required and incentives
shall not exceed $25 without OMB approval. 2. OMB approves the
additional confidentiality statement for children over 10 years
old. BLS shall conduct a cog lab experi- ment over the next year to
assess how understandable the the statement is to children between
10 and 16 years of age. 3. BLS shall consult with the HHS Data
Council before adding questions on health conditions. BLS shall
also share the questions on drug use with the Data Council before
using them. 4. BLS shall undertake (or contract) a study on the
ease of reidentification of respondents from public use files prior
to the next submission of the NLSY.
