OMB approves
this study as amended by the correspondences of January 10 and 29,
1997. In particular, OMB emphasizes the significance of CDC's
receipt of the Department's Assurance of Confidentiality under
Section 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act. CDC must maintain
the confidentiality assurance for the life of the project and must
not conduct any aspect of this study without it. With respect to
the additional studies CDC proposed to conduct under the same
approval, OMB determines that the agency's request is not
permissable under the PRA. Only after adhering to the PRA's
requirements, including seeking public comment and receiving OMB
approval, is CDC permitted to conduct other studies of reproductive
outcomes in female occupational groups.
