Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 05/08/1995
	Date Received in OIRA: 02/07/1995
Terms of Clearance: Approved for use through 3/96 under the condition that HCFA amends the Privacy Act statement so that it fully complies with 5 U.S.C. 552 a (e)(3) and considers data sharing with other interested Federal agencies as discussed in the Benefits Systems Review Team meetings. Such sharing must have accompanying agency commitments that encourage sharing of data with assurances that the information would only be used for consistent purposes and would not be available for subsequent release. In particular, 5 U.S.C. 552 a (e) (3) requires that the Privacy Act statement describes: 1) the purpose of the collection; 2) whether it is mandatory or voluntary; 3) the authority for such a collection; 4) the routine uses of the information; 5) the implications to the respondent for not complying; and 6) the computer matching that will be applied. Prior to committing to such matching (i.e. with other Federal agencies) HCFA may need to amend its Sytems of Records notice. HCFA should share its revised Privacy Act statement and Systems of Records notice with OMB and obtain its concurrence prior to proceeding with this survey.
