Previous terms of clearance apply. In addition, as a condition of approval, OVW should not characterize the information collected with these reports as a formal evaluation of the effectiveness of the grants. OVW should provide OMB with a copy of its annual STOP grant report when it is published and with its next submission. OVW should also update the race and ethnicity questions in its reports to conform with the Federal standards by its next submission (OVW advises that changing the categories necessitates outreach and coordination with grantees).
