Proposed Project: Free Clinic FTCA

Congress legislated FTCA medical
malpractice protection for free clinic

Public Health Service Act. Individuals

professionals and by supporting
community’s efforts to build better
systems of care.
The Application for NHSC
Recruitment and Retention Assistance,
submitted by sites, requests information
on the practice site, sponsoring agency,
recruitment contact, staffing levels,
service users, charges for services,
employment policies, and fiscal
management capabilities. Assistance in
completing the application may be
obtained through the appropriate State
Primary Care Offices, State Primary Care
Associations and the NHSC. The
information on the application is used
for determining the eligibility of sites
and to verify the need for NHSC
providers. Sites must apply once every
three years.

specific eligibility requirements. If an
individual meets all the requirements of
this program, they can be ‘‘deemed’’ to
be a Federal employee. This deemed
status is specifically to provide
immunity from medical malpractice
lawsuits as a result of the performance
of medical, dental, or related activities
within the scope of the volunteer’s work
at the free clinic.
The sponsoring free clinic entity must
submit an application to the Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA). This application will require
information about the sponsoring free
clinic’s credentialing system, risk
management practices, and quality
assurance system in order to ensure the
Government is not exposed to undue
liability resulting from the medical
malpractice coverage of non-qualified
health care professionals as well as the
number of annual FTCA patient visits.
Attached to the application will be a
listing of specific health care providers
for whom the sponsoring free clinic is
requesting deemed status.
The estimated annual burden is as

(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United

Proposed Project: Health Professions
Student Loan (HPSL) Program and
Nursing Student Loan (NSL) Program
Administrative Requirements
(Regulations and Policy) (OMB No.
0915–0047)—Extension
The regulations for the Health
Professions Student Loan (HPSL)
Program and Nursing Student Loan
(NSL) Program contain a number of
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements for schools and loan
applicants. The requirements are
essential for assuring that borrowers are
aware of rights and responsibilities that
schools know the history and status of
each loan account which schools pursue
aggressive collection efforts to reduce
default rates, and that they maintain
adequate records for audit and
assessment purposes. Schools are free to
use improved information technology to
manage the information required by the
regulations.
The estimated total annual burden is
34,558 hours. The burden estimates are
