OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 10/30/2001
	Date Received in OIRA: 08/23/2001
Terms of Clearance: Approved for use through 12/2003 under the following conditions: 1) CMS amends the race/ethnicity categories of this instrument to comply with OMB Directive 15. OMB appreciates CMS efforts to coordinate this instrument with NAPIS and other state instruments however, delaying compliance with the Directive may be more confusing for the SHIP program in the longer term; 2) CMS amends the instrument and instructions to clarify that interviewers may only "guess" a respondent's race/ethnicity during the course of an in-person encounter; 3) CMS adds a check box reflecting that a race/ethnicity designation is based upon an interviewer's "guess"; 4) CMS works with its contractor ABT to further evaluate the practical utility of these race/ethnicity data and provides an analysis in the next OMB submission; and 5) in addition, the next submission for OMB review reevaluates opportunities for coordinating this instrument with AoA's NAPIS collection. OMB believes that consideration of an alternative, combined collection is worth additional consideration since it may reduce burdens on half of the community-level sponsoring organizations.
