A key tool for improved quality of self-reported media exposure data is the use of confirmed recall items in which respondents are not only asked to report on ad viewing, but also on the details of the ad content. This question type will be of great value in the Waves 2 and 3 questionnaires, when the paid advertising campaign will be in full swing. Final advertisements will not be developed, however, until closer to the time of campaign implementation. Specific questionnaire items will be developed and pre-tested after final 9217 advertisements are available for review. Templates of these question formats will be submitted with the original OMB package, but specific questions will be submitted to OMB for review after the formal clearance process has been completed. Survey Schedule Three surveys are proposed: Wave [dates] Sample size and composition Comments 1 [Summer/Fall 2009] ...................... 3,000 evenly distributed across 6 race/ethnic groups. 3,000 evenly distributed across 6 race/ethnic groups. 4,200, of which 3,000 evenly distributed across 6 race/ethnic groups. 1,500 cases (evenly distributed across race/ethnic groups) who completed Wave 1 as well. + 1,500 cases (evenly distributed across race/ethnic groups) who completed Wave 1 (and possibly Wave 2) as well. + 1,200 cases in selected sites for ‘observational case control’. 2 [January 10–May 15, 2010] ......... 3 [May 15–August 31, 2010] ........... Mixed-Mode Data Collection NORC will employ an address-based sampling design that marries the comprehensive coverage of address lists with the cost effectiveness of telephone data collection. Through telephone number matching services and advance letter requests to sampled addresses, NORC will begin the data collection effort by telephone, expecting to obtain phone numbers for approximately 60 percent of the selected sample. Cases will then also be solicited for web completion, or completion by mail and by paper-and-pencil Self-Administered Questionnaire. A sub-sample of all cases not completed will be fielded in-person. Telephone interviewing will make use of Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing technologies, while inperson data collection will make use of paper and pencil questionnaires. Telephone and in-person data collection will be conducted in the languages of the 2010 census form: English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Russian. mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES III.

See id.; see also 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2). The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results by the current deadline of March 2, 2009 because it needs additional time to fully analyze the sales and cost–ofproduction supplemental questionnaire responses that are due from respondent, and to conduct cost and sales verifications of the questionnaire responses. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department has decided to extend the time limit for the preliminary results by 78 days to May 19, 2009. Unless extended, the final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h) of the Department’s regulations.
