                        TITLE 45--PUBLIC WELFARE
 
CHAPTER XIII--OFFICE OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH 
                           AND HUMAN SERVICES
 
PART 1356_REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO TITLE IV-E
 
Sec. 1356.84  Sampling.

    (a) The State agency may collect and report the information required 
in section 1356.83(e) of this part on a sample of the baseline 
population consistent with the sampling requirements described in 
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
    (b) The State agency must select the follow-up sample using simple 
random sampling procedures based on random numbers generated by a 
computer program, unless ACF approves another sampling procedure. The 
sampling universe consists of youth in the baseline population 
consistent with 45 CFR 1356.81(b) who participated in the State agency's 
data collection at age 17.
    (c) The sample size is based on the number of youth in the baseline 
population who participated in the State agency's data collection at age 
17.
    (1) If the number of youth in the baseline population who 
participated in the outcome data collection at age 17 is 5,000 or less, 
the State agency must calculate the sample size using the formula in 
appendix C of this part, with the Finite Population Correction (FPC). 
The State agency must increase the resulting number by 30 percent to 
allow for attrition, but the sample size may not be larger than the 
number of youth who participated in data collection at age 17.
    (2) If the number of youth in the baseline population who 
participated in the outcome data collection at age 17 is greater than 
5,000, the State agency must calculate the sample size using the formula 
in appendix C of this part, without the FPC. The State agency must 
increase the resulting number by 30 percent to allow for attrition, but 
the sample size must not be larger than the number of youth who 
participated in data collection at age 17.
