Information Collection Request Title:
HHS 42CFR subpart B; Sterilization of
Persons in Federally Assisted Family
Planning Projects
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 Public Health
Service (PHS) Act. 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. The current form has been
updated to conform to the changed
name of a federal entitlement program.
The program, Aid to Families with
Dependent Children (AFDC), utilized by
low-income families with dependent
children who need federal assistance,
has been replaced by a different
program with similar aims, Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
Consequently, the reference to A.F.D.C.
in the first paragraph has been replaced
with a reference to T.A.N.F.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions, to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information, and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
