THIS COLLECCTION
IS DISAPPROVED ON THE GROUNDS THAT THERE IS NO SUBSTANTIAL FEDERAL
NEED FOR THE DATA TO BE COLLECTED. A 70 PERCENT DECLINE IN
INTERESTED RESPONDENTS APPEARS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE NEED FOR A
FEDERALLY SUPPORTED NATIONAL REGISTRY OF HMO FINANCING NEEDS NO
LONGER EXISTS. IN THE EVENT THAT SUCH A REGISTRY IS PERCEIVED BY
THE HMO INDUSTRY AS PROVIDING A VALUABLE SERVICE, THIS ACTIVITY
MIGHT MORE APPROPRIATELY BE SUPPORTED BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
