The "August 1988
CPS Retiree Health Insurance Benefits Supplement" is approved
through September 1988 as a one-time survey. Should the Department
wish to collect this data again, the justification statement should
describe: (1) the results of the August 1988 survey, (2) any
problems identified during the administration of the survey (e.g.,
respondents could not provide the information requested, etc.), (3)
how a new data collection instrument would address those problems,
(4) efforts to avoid duplication of other existing Federal data
collections, such as the SIPP.
