administration and uses the information
to: solicit, process, and award IHS Pregraduate, Preparatory, and/or Health
Professions Scholarship recipients;
monitor the academic performance of
recipients; and to place recipients at

Program streamlined the application
process by converting the IHS–856 to an
electronic tool and reduced the number
of required supplemental application
and reporting forms to minimize the
time needed by applicants and
recipients to complete the application
process and provide required
information after receiving a scholarship
from the IHSSP. The IHSSP application
is electronically available on the

There are no direct costs to
respondents other than their time to
voluntarily complete the forms and
submit them for consideration. The
estimated cost in time to respondents, as
a group, is $45,396 [4340 burden hours
X $10.46 per hour (2013 GS–3 hourly
base pay rate)]. This total dollar amount
is based upon the number of burden
hours per data collection instrument,
rounded to the nearest dollar. Request
for Comments: Your written comments
and/or suggestions are invited on one or
more of the following points: (a)
Whether the information collection
activity is necessary to carry out an
agency function; (b) whether the agency
processes the information collected in a
useful and timely fashion; (c) the
accuracy of public burden estimate (the
estimated amount of time needed for
individual respondents to provide the
requested information); (d) whether the
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimate are logical; (e)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (f) ways to minimize the
public burden through the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.

Proposed Information Collection:

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
In compliance with Section
3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 which requires
30 days for public comment on
proposed information collection
projects, the Indian Health Service (IHS)
is submitting to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a
request for a revision of an approved
collection of information titled, ‘‘Indian
Health Service Medical Staff Credentials
and Privileges Files,’’ OMB Control
Number 0917–0009, which expires June
31, 3013. This proposed information
collection project was previously
published in the Federal Register (78
FR 19721) on April 2, 2013, and allowed
60 days for public comment, as required
by 3506(c)(2)(A). The IHS received one
comment concerning the ‘‘Optometric
Privileges Request Form’’ in regards to
the defining of physicians and
optometrists separately. The IHS
responded that it will not include the
‘‘Optometric Privileges Request Form’’
for consideration in this request—
pending a review of ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of this
particular form. The purpose of this
notice is to allow 30 days for public
comment to be submitted directly to
OMB.
Proposed Collection: Title: 0917–
0009, ‘‘Indian Health Service Medical
Staff Credentials and Privileges Files.’’
Type of Information Collection Request:
Revision of an approved information
collection, 0917–0009, ‘‘Indian Health
Service Medical Staff Credentials and
Privileges Files.’’ Form Numbers: 0917–
0009. Need and Use of Information
Collection: This collection of
information is used to evaluate
individual health care providers
applying for medical staff privileges at
IHS health care facilities. The IHS
operates health care facilities that
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
provide health care services to
American Indians and Alaska Natives.
To provide these services, the IHS
employs (directly and under contract)
several categories of health care
providers including: Physicians (M.D.
and D.O.), dentists, psychologists,
optometrists, podiatrists, audiologists,
physician assistants, certified registered
nurse anesthetists, nurse practitioners,
and certified nurse midwives. IHS
policy specifically requires physicians
and dentists to be members of the health
care facility medical staff where they
practice. Health care providers become
medical staff members, depending on
the local health care facility’s
capabilities and medical staff bylaws.
There are three types of IHS medical
staff applicants: (1) Health care
providers applying for direct
employment with IHS; (2) contractors
who will not seek to become IHS
employees; and (3) employed IHS health
care providers who seek to transfer
between IHS health care facilities.
National health care standards
developed by the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services, the Joint
Commission, and other accrediting
organizations require health care
facilities to review, evaluate and verify
the credentials, training and experience
of medical staff applicants prior to
granting medical staff privileges. In
order to meet these standards, IHS
health care facilities require all medical
staff applicants to provide information
concerning their education, training,
licensure, and work experience and any
adverse disciplinary actions taken
against them. This information is then
verified with references supplied by the
applicant and may include: Former
employers, educational institutions,
licensure and certification boards, the
American Medical Association, the
Federation of State Medical Boards, the
National Practitioner Data Bank, and the
applicants themselves.
In addition to the initial granting of
medical staff membership and clinical
privileges, the Joint Commission
standards require that a review of the
medical staff be conducted not less than
every two years. This review evaluates
the current competence of the medical
staff and verifies whether they are
maintaining the licensure or
