physicians accountable for the
information they submit on the
Medicare claim forms. Being modeled
on the Medicare PPS, CHAMPUS also
adopted these requirements. The
physicians attestation and physician
acknowledgment required by Medicare
under 42 CFR 412.46 are also required
for CHAMPUS as a condition for
payment and may be satisfied by the
same statements as required for
Medicare, with substitution or addition
of ‘‘CHAMPUS’’ when the word
‘‘Medicare’’ is used. Physicians sign a
physician acknowledgement,
maintained by the institution, at the
time the physician is granted admitting
privileges. This acknowledgement
indicates the physician understands the
importance of a correct medical record,
and misrepresentation may be subject to
penalties.

PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
1998 based on the authority of 10 U.S.C.

information on premium payment
enrollment options and a certification
statement for the applicant to sign and
date. The primary change in the
proposed extension of the information
collection is to update the expiration
date of the Enrollment Application.

Summary of Information Collection
Respondents are students in nursing
school programs, or attending
institutions where nursing school
programs are offered; possibly to
include qualified applicants who are not
accepted for admission due to space
limitations.
The United States healthcare system
is facing an acute nursing shortage of

unprecedented magnitude. This
shortage is also affecting the Nursing
Corps of the three military services. In
this environment of a short supply of
nurses, several initiatives are being
explored to increase the number of
nurses recruited annually by the
military services. Data are needed for
planning that will allow for an
assessment of the potential impact of
recruitment incentives on the
receptiveness of targeted populations of
likely future nurses and nursing
students. In order to maintain the level
of recruitment required by the military
to maintain an adequate nursing
workforce, a more thorough assessment
of the future military nursing workforce
is required. The national survey of
young adults ages 18–40 will capture
critical information on public
perceptions of and interest in nursing
and military careers and aid policy
planning efforts to estimate available
labor supply. The survey of nursing
students enrolled in nursing programs
throughout the US will provide critical
data on the willingness of those with a
demonstrated interest in nursing to
consider a military nursing career.

ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Defense has
submitted to OMB for clearance, the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
DATES: Consideration will be given to all
comments received by November 1,

Control Number 0720–TBD.
Type of Request: New.
Number of Respondents: 1,744.
Responses per Respondent: 1.

Report) gives impetus to this study,
which calls for an evaluation of the
provision in the Troops to Nurse
Teachers (TNT) Act of 2008.
Specifically, DoD will examine the
feasibility and merits of this
congressional proposal that outlines a
program to encourage former military
nurses to take faculty positions in
nursing schools, for the purpose of
encouraging more nurse graduates to
consider military service. The
Department will survey military nurses
who are on active duty but close to
retirement eligibility (20 years of
service), or recently retired. The primary
purpose of collecting data from this
group is to determine what factors
would attract a retiree to teach nursing.
The survey will also cover civilian
nursing school students to determine
what incentives might entice them to
seek positions in the military.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Mr. John Kraemer.
Written comments and
recommendations on the proposed
information collection should be sent to
Mr. Kraemer at the Office of
