Approved for 1
hour based on the HHS memorandum to OMB of 11/28/97. OMB endorses
the concept of surveying WIN grantees with respect to services for
preventing perinatal transmission of HIV; however, OMB has
significant concerns that this effort and a pending CDC request for
a survey of providers on the same subject are overly duplicative.
OMB and HHS will continue discussions of these two surveys, and
should a resolution be reached HHS will submit an 83-C form to
increase the burden for this survey consistent with that resolution
to ensure that HHS'survey efforts on this topic are
well-coordinated and not duplicative.
