Planning Performance Improvement and

OMB No. 0915–0384—Extension.
Abstract: The purpose of the Rural
Health Network Development Planning
Program (Network Planning) is to assist
in the development of an integrated
health care network, specifically for
entities that do not have a history of
formal collaborative efforts. Health care
networks can be an effective strategy to
help smaller rural health care providers
and health care service organizations
align resources, achieve economies of
scale and efficiency, and address
challenges more effectively as a group
than as single providers. This program
promotes the planning and development
of healthcare networks in order to: (1)
achieve efficiencies; (2) expand access
to, coordinate, and improve the quality
of essential health care services; and (3)
strengthen the rural health care system
as a whole.
The goals of the Network Planning
program are centered around
approaches that will aid providers in
better serving their communities given
the changes taking place in health care,
as providers move from focusing on the
volume of services to focusing on the
value of services. The Network Planning
program brings together key parts of a
rural health care delivery system,
particularly those entities that may not
have collaborated in the past under a
formal relationship, to establish and
improve local capacity and coordination
of care. The program supports 1 year of
planning with the primary goal of
helping networks create a foundation for
their infrastructure and focusing
member efforts to address important
regional or local community health
needs.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Performance measures for
the Network Planning program serve the
purpose of quantifying awardee-level
data that conveys the successes and
challenges associated with the grant
award. The approved measures
encompass the following principal topic
areas: network infrastructure, network
collaboration, sustainability, and
network assessment.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
for these measures are Network
Planning program award recipients.
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

Information Collection Request Title:
NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program
OMB No. 0915–0140—Revision.
Abstract: The NURSE Corps Loan
Repayment Program (NURSE Corps
LRP) assists in the recruitment and
retention of professional Registered
Nurses (RNs), including advanced
practice RNs (e.g., nurse practitioners,
certified registered nurse anesthetists,
certified nurse-midwives, clinical nurse
specialists), dedicated to working at
eligible health care facilities with a
critical shortage of nurses (e.g., a Critical
Shortage Facility) or working as nurse
faculty in eligible, accredited schools of
nursing, by decreasing the financial
barriers associated with pursuing a
nursing profession. The NURSE Corps
LRP provides loan repayment assistance
to these nurses to repay a portion of
their qualifying educational loans in
exchange for full-time service at a
public or private nonprofit Critical
Shortage Facility or in an eligible,
accredited school of nursing.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The information is used to
consider an applicant for a NURSE
Corps LRP contract award and to
monitor a participant’s compliance with
ADDRESSES:
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703

the service requirements. Individuals
must submit an application to
participate in the program. The
application asks for personal,
professional, educational, and financial
information required to determine the
applicant’s eligibility to participate in
the NURSE Corps LRP. The semi-annual
employment verification form asks for
personal and employment information
to determine if a participant is in
compliance with the service
requirements. The Authorization to
Release Employment Information form
has been revised as a self-certification
within the NURSE Corps LRP
application process, with applicants
clicking a box. This contributes to a
decrease in the overall burden by 550
hours.
Likely Respondents: Professional RNs
or advanced practice RNs who are
interested in participating in the NURSE
Corps LRP, and official representatives
at their service sites.
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 ICR are
summarized in the table below.
