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: 09/06/1995
	Date Received in OIRA: 06/08/1995
Terms of Clearance: Approved for use through 9/96 under the condition that HRSA amends all race/ethnicity questions so they are identical to the combined race/ethnicity question in section 2 of OMB Directive No. 15. In addition, HRSA should delete question 15 of the Transplant Personnel Survey. OMB remains unconvinced that that this question will enable HRSA to draw even the most preliminary, tentative conclusions regarding the relationship between the race/ethnicity of all transplant center staff (even those without patient contact) and the behavior of transplant candidates and recipients. Finally, OMB reiterates that this study should be viewed by HRSA as exploratory in nature; research findings should lead to more comprehensive research and should not be disseminated widely.
