OMB approves this one-time collection of data. In the event that the response rate falls substantially below 80% as asserted by NOAA, the usefulness of the data may be limited due to the lack of non-response bias analysis plan. If this is the case, the agency should not claim generalizability to the population of interest when disseminating the relevant information.
