This information
collection is approved through October, 1990. HCFA has not complied
with the previous terms of conditions which instruct HCFA to
clarify in the Mediciad Manual that the MARS function number 7 is
to "provide data essential to the development and formulation of
program policies, including the implementation of waiver programs."
HCFA is again instructed to make this clarification before its next
submission of this package. In addition, HCFA requested that
HCFA-R-82 (OMB # 0938-0442) and HCFA-R-59 (OMB # 0938 0458) be
rolled up into this package. OMB will consider this request when
this package is resubmitted, provided HCFA provide appropriate
justification.
