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
Sfmt 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.

National Committee on Vital and Health
Statistics: Meeting
Pursuant to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
announces the following advisory
committee meeting.
Name: National Committee on Vital
and Health Statistics (NCVHS),
Standards Subcommittee Meeting.
Date and Times: Wednesday, May 3,
2017: 9:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m. (EDT).
Place: U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, Hubert H. Humphrey
Building, 200 Independence Avenue,
SW., Room 800, Washington, DC 20201,
(202) 690–7100.
Status: Open. There will be an open
comment period during the final 15
minutes of the Subcommittee meeting.
Purpose:
Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) legislation
from 1996, as amended, directed the
Secretary of HHS to publish regulations
implementing a unique health plan
identifier (HPID) for health plans
(covered entities under the law). In
September 2012, HHS published a final
rule requiring health plans to obtain a
health plan identifier by November
2014. The regulation also permitted
other entities to obtain an identifier on
a voluntary basis. Any entity that
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:18 Apr 10, 2017
Jkt 241001
obtained an identifier was to begin
using it in HIPAA transactions by
November 2015. Small health plans
would begin using the identifier by
November 2016.
In February and June of 2014, NCVHS
held meetings on the HPID final rule.
Following both hearings, NCVHS sent
letters to the HHS Secretary stating that
the industry was confused about the
HPID policy, terminology and the
affected entities, and that reporting the
HPID in health care transactions
provided little benefit or value to the
health care system. In October 2014,
HHS announced an enforcement
discretion period for the HPID rule,
halting its implementation.
The purpose of this NCVHS Standards
Subcommittee meeting is to seek further
input from the health care industry for
disposition and next steps of the HPID.
The times and topics are subject to
change. Please refer to the posted
agenda for any updates.
