Although written comments on the VFC Program were accepted through May 15, 2000, the Department submitted the information collection request (ICR) included in the VFC Program to OMB under emergency provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501*et seq.*) and 5 CFR 1320 and requested approval by April 14, 2000. OMB approved the ICR under control number OMB 1210-0118, on April 14, 2000. The approval will expire on September 30, 2000. The information collection provisions of the VFC Program generally require that documentation of the correction of a fiduciary breach be supplied to the Department. The ICR has now been submitted to OMB for an extension of this approval.
