and Budget (OMB) to conduct pretesting of surveys using a generic
clearance that will allow FNS to
conduct a variety of data-gathering
activities aimed at improving the quality
and usability of information collection
instruments associated with research
and analysis activities. The procedures
utilized to this effect include but are not
limited to experiments with levels of
incentives for study participants, tests of
various types of survey operations,
focus groups, pilot testing, exploratory
interviews, experiments with
questionnaire design, and usability
testing of electronic data collection
instruments. The authorizing statutes
for data collections submitted under this
