Abstract: This revision is requested to implement survey design improvements that have been developed by MRIP, as well as to eliminate several collections that were either created for short-term testing of alternative designs or will now be covered in other information collections under this OMB Control No. or by state collections. NOTE: In order to make detailed burden changes, the original information collection that had been imported when ROCIS was set up, has been disaggregated - up to this point, it had been unchanged, and only additions had been made, and removal of some of those additions. Thus, all the ICs after the first two new ones - MRIP and new APAIS - are surveys that were left from the original aggregation.
