collaboration to ensure the ongoing
health and safety of our patients. These
challenges include designing products
with the patient in mind, building
quality into the product from the onset,
selecting the right suppliers, and
considering total product life-cycle
systems. Meeting these challenges
requires vigilance, innovation, supply
chain strategy, relationship
management, proactive change
management, and a commitment to
doing our jobs right the first time.

high priority to help ensure the quality

Abstract: Corps Community Day was
created in 2011 and celebrates the
National Health Service Corps (NHSC)
every October during National Primary
Care Week. The NHSC is a program
administered by the Bureau of Clinician
Recruitment and Service (BCRS) within
HRSA. The goals of Corps Community
Day encompass the following: increase
awareness of the NHSC to potential
applicants and the greater primary
health community; create a sense of
community and connectedness among
NHSC program participants, alumni,
partners, and staff; and underscore the
NHSC’s role in bringing primary health
care services to the nation’s neediest
communities. Current program
participants, alumni, NHSC
Ambassadors, sites, primary care
organizations, and professional
associations plan events and report the
details of their events to BCRS so that
they can be added to the state-by-state
map of events. In order to avoid
duplication of effort, eliminate
confusion regarding allowable event
dates, avoid data entry errors, and
implement a brief post-event
satisfaction survey, BCRS would like to
implement a standard form that event
planners will use to report to BCRS. The
fillable form will be available online
and will have less than 20 fields for
event planners to populate to submit for
inclusion on the map. There will also be
approximately five fields to populate
following the event to measure
satisfaction. Both the pre-event and
post-event data fields will be held in
one form.
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
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information, and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this Information
Collection Request are summarized in
the table below.
The annual estimate of burden is as

Jkt 229001
of Public Law 92–463 (5 U.S.C. App.2),
also known as the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, which sets forth
standards for the formation and use of
advisory committees.
The NAC is a group of health care
providers and health care site
administrators who are experts in the
issues that communities with a shortage
of primary care professionals face in
meeting their health care needs. The
NAC is a frontline source of information
to the NHSC senior management. The
NAC is committed to effectively
implementing its mandate to advise the
Secretary of the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) and, by
designation, the Administrator of the
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA).
The NAC consists of 15 members who
are Special Government Employees.
Responsibilities of the Council include:
(1) Serving as a forum to identify the
priorities for the NHSC and to bring
forward and anticipate future program
issues and concerns through ongoing
communication with program staff,
professional organizations,
communities, and program participants;
(2) Functioning as a sounding board for
proposed policy changes by utilizing the
varying levels of expertise represented
on the Council to advise on specific
program areas; and, (3) Developing and
distributing white papers and briefs that
clearly state issues and/or concerns
relating to the NHSC with specific
recommendations for necessary policy
revisions.
Specifically, HRSA is requesting
nominations for individuals with a
background in primary care, dental
health, and mental health representing
one or more of the following areas of
expertise: working with underserved
populations, health care policy,
recruitment and retention, site
administration, customer service,
marketing, organizational partnerships,
research, and clinical practice. We are
looking for nominees that either
currently or have previously filled a role
as site administrators, physicians,
dentists, mid-level professionals (i.e.,
nurses, physician assistants), mental or
behavioral health professionals, or
NHSC scholars or loan repayors.

HHS will consider nominations of all
qualified individuals with a view to
ensuring that the NAC includes the
areas of subject matter expertise noted
above and reflects the diverse primary
care health care workforce and health
delivery sites. Individuals may
nominate themselves or other
individuals, and professional
associations and organizations may
nominate one or more qualified persons
for membership on the Council.
Nominations shall state that the
nominee is willing to serve as a member
of the NAC and appears to have no
conflict of interest that would preclude
the membership. Potential candidates
will be contacted by NHSC and asked to
provide detailed information concerning
financial interests, consultancies,
research grants, and/or contracts that
might be affected by recommendations
of the Committee, to permit evaluation
of possible sources of conflicts of
interest.
A nomination package should include

the nominee, the basis for the
nomination (i.e., what specific

benefit the workings of NAC), and the
nominees field(s) of expertise; (2) a
biography of the nominee and a copy of
his/her curriculum vitae; and (3) the

behalf or a self-nomination in spring of
2012 and would like to be considered
again, please send a complete packet of
the information requested above.
HHS has special interest in assuring
