OMB approves
this information collection with the changes agreed to in the faxes
of August 13 and 14, 1997 and with the following additional
conditions: 1) To the extent that it already maintains from grant
applications and reports the information contained in Section I,
HRSA will not request such information again. 2) Instead of
sampling the entire universe of grantees, HRSA will use a
stratified sample in order to reduce burden on grantees. While the
details of the sampling are left to HRSA, one option would be to
sample half the grantees. 3) HRSA will remove all questions which
request information broken down by year and will replace those
questions to the extent necessary with questions requesting summary
information.
