This survey is
approved for 18 months. In reporting results of this survey the
agency must cite the response rate (i.e., the completed responses
as a percentage of all establishments contacted) and any trends in
response rate (e.g., a lower response rate from smaller clients,
from less frequent clients, etc. . .) In future submissions of this
ICR, the agency must provide information about past response rates
and document a plan to obtain a sufficient response rate (generally
considered to be 80%). If the sufficient response rate cannot be
obtained, the agency must provide a plan to identify sources of
nonresponse bias and account for them in reporting.
