This information
collection is approved for use through May 1994, with one
exception. OMB does not approve, in its current form, the PHS
supplement to the 6025-1 for the Health Careers Opportunity
Program. In approving the use of these forms, OMB requests that
HRSA ensure the following before the next submission: 1) that all
supplements are reviewed for consistency and clarity in stating
that applicants who do not seek consideration for a funding
preference (e.g., underrepresented minorities) are not required to
submit additional data (e.g., race/ethnicity data) related to that
preference. Also, that all supplements are consistent in their use
of the note "...it is not required that applicants request
consideration for funding priorities. Applications which do not
request consideration for funding priorities will be reviewed and
given full consideration for funding."; and 2) applicants are not
required to provide race/ethnicity data in the absence of specific
funding preference and/or statutory requirement that necessitates
the collection of such aggregate data. (remarks continued on
attached sheet).....
