Approved as
amended by ED's memoranda to OMB of 3/23/93, 3/26/93, 4/1/93, and
4/2/93. As ED has agreed, approval for respondent payment in
projects that cannot locate respondents is only granted for the
recovery projects, where the large number of hard-to-locate
respondent in the control group warrants this treatment. The level
of the incentive shall be set at $5, to minimize bias that might be
introduce at higher payment levels while improving search
efficiency and data utility. Respondents in other projects will not
receive an incentive.
