Short Statement: New collection replaces an annual study which has: 1) a core set of questions which remains constant for each study; and 2) a variable set which focuses on different services with each update of the study; this is the fourth such national survey and it is done this way so as not to overburden the respondents with questions and in order to be flexible to the changing needs of the programs and constituents being studied. The content of these studies have ben designed to take about the same amount of time for each of these national studies; so therefore, the questions on reduction/increase, as stated above, do not apply to this collection, because the burden should be constant for each study.
