this information collection is to share
information regarding the NHSC and
NURSE Corps programs with interested
individuals.
Likely Respondents: Individuals
interested in the NHSC or NURSE Corps
programs.
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
