This request is
cleared through Sept. 1986 as requested. Prior to submission of a
request for extension, HHS must submit to OMB the report which was
due by September, 1985. That report must detail specific uses made
of the most recently available data. It must detail all actions
taken by SSA as a result of receiving this data, the specific
states SSA met with or provided assistance to, results associated
with those meetings or assistance, any cost savings that resulted
and performance changes that occurred in those states as a result
of these functions. Be specific concerning dates of assistance and
actions and results, especially in light of the lag in obtaining
this data in usable form. Contrary to your statement in the
supporting statement, the burden hours were not entered into the
inventory incorrectly. As was explained to you at the time of the
last clearance, your 30 minute estimate was too low and after
discussions with several states we estimated the burden to be
4,752. This burden will continue to be associated with this
docket.
