In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for three years. However, a) Within 30 days of completion of the peer review, ERS will present to OMB the results of the ERS-University of Iowa cooperative agreement work that explores five different alternatives to the current food insecurity classification scheme. OMB will schedule a subsequent meeting to discuss ERSÂ’ findings as to the implications of these results for whether, and if so how, the survey should be changed or the data analyzed differently. b) Within three months ERS will provide OMB with a summary of the most common misinterpretations of their food security data, their efforts to date in framing the communication of the study results to head off such misinterpretations, and how they will build on their recent experience to prepare for communicating the results of the 2009 survey. ERS will consult with colleagues in other agencies regarding such agenciesÂ’ experiences with the release of other socioeconomic indicators in order to identify approaches to minimize mischaracterization of results. USDA/ERS is reminded that only the instrument contained in this request is approved and that any changes to an instrument (e.g. questionnaire) must be submitted to OMB for approval.
