Thank you Trevor, that is the specific guidance I was hoping for. I can't say I completely understand the implicit strata, though I can imagine that an ordering along some field might allow grouping that reduces between cluster variability within implicit strata, thus reducing SE. Is there an available document describing and justifying the old practice? If there isn't, that is fine -- just asking for curiosity's sake. It may reside in one of the standard references, or just be a variation on standard methods applicable when no fpc is used.

Thanks again Trevor and DHS team, very helpful instruction.
