    Title of the Collection: HHS 42 CFR subpart B; Sterilization of

    Type of Collection: Renewal.
    OMB No. 0937-0166.
    Abstract: The Department of Health and Human Service, Office of 
Population Affairs is requesting an 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 United 
States Public Health Service (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.
