Title: INFANT FEEDING PRACTICES STUDY
Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved	Conclusion Date: 09/05/1991
	Date Received in OIRA: 06/04/1991
Terms of Clearance: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act, OMB has disapproved the Infan Feeding Practices Study for the following reason: The use of a self-selected "consumer panel" for a Federal survey violates the guidelines contained in the Paperwork Rule, specifically paragraph (g) of 5 CFR 1320.6. This method of sample selection has some limited use in certain kinds of marketing research, but is not acceptable for any study that may affect government policy. This method does not satisfy the fundamental assumptions on which the theory of statistical inference is based -- thus there is no sound basis for generalizing the results from such a sample to the universe of study as required by the rule. OMB, however, recognizes the importance of gathering information on infant feeding practices. It seems particularly important to have a better understanding of these practices for disadvantaged populations. Consequently, OMB encourages FDA to reassess alternative research methodologies that would more adequately represent these populations and other underrepresented groups in the currently proposed survey, thus enabling the survey to be generalizable to the entire population.
