This collection
of information was in violation of the PRA because of modifications
to the race/ethnicity question that was not cleared by OMB, and did
not conform to OMB guidelines. The agency shall report the
violation in the next edition of the ICB, and shall make sure that
no such further violations occur. This collection of information is
approved for 1 year only, in order to finish up data collection
with grantees that have not expended all funding. In future
submissions under this OMB # (and any other packages that ask for
race/ethnicity data), SAMHSA/HHS shall follow OMB guidance for
race/ethnicity questions. If SAMHSA encounters further problems
with confusion stemming from the format of the questions, they
shall come back to OMB to discuss acceptable alternatives.
