Abstract:	A data quality monitoring plan is an important part of any large scale survey. The implementation of such plans requires selection of samples for inspection during the data collection process. The goal of this paper is to discuss guidelines for the design of a probabilistic sampling procedure for quality inspection purposes. In particular, the feasibility of some sample designs will be investigated as applied to the USDA's National Resources Inventory.
