AS INDICATED IN
CHRISTOPHER DEMUTHS JANUARY 4, 1983, LETTER TO DALE SOPPER, ANY
FORM PRESCRIBED FOR USE BY HHS AS PART OF AN INFORMATION COLLECTION
MUST SHOW A CURRENT OMB NUMBER. SINCE HHS REQUIRES STATE INSPECTION
AGENCIES OR OTHER PERSONS TO USE THE HCFA 3070 AND 3070B, THESE
FORMS MAY ONLY BE USED IF THEY REFLECT THE CURRENT OMB NUMBER. THIS
CLEARANCE REQUEST IS THEREFORE NOT APPROVED SINCE IT IS NOT
CONSISTENT WITH THE PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT IN THAT HHS IS
PROPOSING TO REVISE THE HCFA 3070 AND 3070B BY REMOVING THE OMB
NUMBER.
