Approved for use
through 8/99 under the condition that HCFA immediately incorporates
the disclosure statements mandated by the Paperwork Reduction Act

In addition, OMB notes that this clearance package does not contain
supporting HCFA manual instructions; therefore this OMB action does
not cover such materials if they are in use for the purposes of
post-certifica- tion revisits.
