Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the Secretary (OS), Department of 
Health and Human Services, has submitted an Information Collection 
Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and approval. The ICR is for renewal of the approved 
information collection assigned OMB control number 0937-0166, scheduled 
to expire on October 31, 2015. Comments submitted during the first 
public review of this ICR will be provided to OMB. OMB will accept

    Information Collection Request Title: HHS 42 CFR part 50, subpart 
B; Sterilization of Persons in Federally Assisted Family Planning 
Projects--OMB No. 0937-0166-Extension-OASH, Office of Population 
Affairs--Office of Family Planning.
    Abstract: This is a request for extension of a currently approved 
collection for the disclosure and record-keeping 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). Consent forms are signed by individuals 
undergoing a federally funded sterilization procedure and certified by 
necessary medical authorities. Forms are incorporated into the 
patient's medical records and the agency's records. Through periodic 
site audits and visits, PHS staff review completed consent forms to 
determine compliance with the regulation. Thus, the purpose of the 
consent form is twofold. First, it serves as a mechanism to ensure that 
a person receives information about sterilization and voluntarily 
consents to the procedure. Second, it facilitates compliance 
monitoring. The Sterilization Consent
