Title: PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE STERILIZATION RECORD
Type of Information Collection: Extension without change of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved	Conclusion Date: 03/02/1982
	Date Received in OIRA: 12/31/1981
Terms of Clearance: NOT APPROVED. IN SPITE OF PERSONAL ASSURANCES FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, HHS HAS FAILED TO MEET THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL (OCTOBER 30, 1980 KINCANNON TO SERMIER LETTER) BY PROVIDING TO OMB A SPECIFIC PLAN FOR THE USE OF RACE AND ETHNICITY DATA FOR CIVIL RIGHTS TARGETING PURPOSES, A QUARTERLY SUMMARY OF INVESTIGATIONS UNDERTAKEN AND THE RESULTS OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS. HHS' EXPLANATION OF THESE DEFICIENCES IS INSUFFICIENT TO JUSTIFY APPROVAL FOR CONTINUED COLLECTION OF THESE DATA. FURTHER, THE NEED FOR THIS REPORTING SYSTEM IS, AT BEST, DOUBTFUL. ONE OF THE PROGRAMS COVERED BY THIS SYSTEM WILL BECOME A BLOCK GRANT IN FY1983, AND TWO OTHERS ARE PROPOSED FOR ADDITION TO THAT BLOCK GRANT. FINALLY, OMB BELIEVES THAT WHILE STATES MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE IN TERMS OF ASSURNG COMPLIANCE WITH HHS REGULATION, THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS BURDENSOME AND UNPRODUCTIVE AND THAT A CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND REGULATION WOULD SUFFICE.
