This information
collection is approved for use until December 31, 1991. Condition
#2 of the previous terms of clearance still applies to this
package. DHHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE) approved CDC's request to OMB for an extension of
the expiration date and deferment of its agreement with OMB to
address the conditions of the previous clearance on the condition
that CDC work closely with ASPE to develop the major revisions to
NHANES III to improve questions on income, program participation
and health care coverage. OMB approves this information collection
with the agency's understanding that it meets its commitment to
work with ASPE. In light of the expected revisions, OMB does not
approve the agency's request to omit expiration dates on the survey
materials.
