Approved for use
through 9/94 under the condition that the next submission for OMB
review includes a simplified long and short version of the block
grant application guidance and shorter version of the annual report
guidance for submissions that the States will make in July 1995.
MCH staff will use States' comments as a basis for the new versions
and will actively consult state MCH and CSHCN offices, as wel as
Governors' Offices in efforts to streamline the application and
annual report guidance. This OMB clearance reflects these
agreements, as well as clarifications of reporting requirements
that are voluntary and state flexibility in selecting form and
content for FY 1994 (as articulated in HRSA's "Dear Colleague"
letter dated January 4, 1994.) Finally, OMB must receive the next
PRA submission no later than 6/94, so that it may reasonably
complete its review by 8/94 (as agreed upon with HRSA.)
