Title of the Collection: HHS 42 CFR subpart B; Sterilization of
Persons in Federally Assisted Family Planning Projects;
Type of Collection: Extension;
OMB No.: 0937-0166.
Abstract: This is a request for extension of a currently approved
collection for the disclosure and recordkeeping requirements codified
at 42 CFR part 50, subpart B (``Sterilization of Persons in Federally
Assisted Family Planning Projects''). The consent form solicits
information to assure voluntary and informed consent to persons
undergoing sterilization in programs of health services which are
supported by federal financial assistance administered by the PHS. It
provides additional procedural protection to the individual and the
regulation requires that the consent form be a copy of the form that is
appended to the PHS regulation. In 2003, the PHS sterilization consent
form was revised to conform to OMB government-wide standards for the
collection of race/ethnicity data and to incorporate the PRA burden
statement as part of the consent form. We are requesting a three-year
extension.
Type of respondent: Individuals seeking sterilization. Frequency:
Once; prior to procedure.
