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.
