Information Collection Request Title:
Health Workforce Connector OMB No.
0906–xxxx—NEW
Abstract: The Health Workforce
Connector is being developed to expand
on the current National Health Service
Corps (NHSC) Jobs Center, which
includes positions approved for NHSC
scholarship and loan repayment
obligors. The new Health Workforce
Connector will provide a central
platform to connect participants in both
the NHSC and NURSE Corps programs
with facilities that are approved for
performance of their NHSC or NURSE
Corps service obligation. The Health
Workforce Connector will become a
resource that engages any health care
professional or student interested in
providing primary care services in
underserved communities (whether or
not those individuals are obligated to
the NHSC or NURSE Corps) with
facilities in need of health care
providers. The Health Workforce
Connector will also allow users to create
a profile, search for NHSC and NURSE
Corps sites, find job opportunities, and
will be searchable by Site Points of
Contact. Like the current NHSC Jobs
Center, individuals will be able to use

the Health Workforce Connector’s
search capability with Google Maps.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Information will be
collected from users in the following
two ways:
(1) Account Creation: Creating an
account is optional, but to create an
account, the user will be required to
enter their first name, last name, and
email address. Those are the only
mandatory fields in the profile account
creation process and will be used to
send an automated email allowing the
user to validate their login credentials.
This information will also be used to
validate any users who already exist
within the Bureau of Health Workforce
Management Information Systems
Solution (BMISS) database and allow an
initial import of existing data at the
request of the user.
(2) Profile Completion: Users may fill
out a profile, but this function will be
completely optional and will include
fields such as location, discipline,
specialty, and languages spoken. The
information collected, if ‘published’ by
the user, will allow internal BMISS Site
Points of Contact the ability to search on
anyone who may be a potential
candidate for job opportunities at the
site. All information collected will be
stored within existing secure BMISS
databases and will be used internally for
report generation on an as-needed basis.
Likely Respondents: Potential users
will include individuals searching for a
health care job opportunity or an NHSC
or NURSE Corps health care facility,
and health care facilities searching for
potential candidates to fill open health
care job opportunities at their 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.

Information Collection Request Title:
ASPE Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Research and
Assessment.
OMB No.: 0990–0421.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting an extension for
their generic clearance for purposes of
conducting qualitative research. ASPE
conducts qualitative research to gain a
better understanding of emerging health
policy issues, develop future intramural
and extramural research projects, and to
ensure HHS leadership, agencies and
offices have recent data and information
to inform program and policy decisionmaking. ASPE is requesting approval for
at least four types of qualitative
research: (a) Interviews, (b) focus
groups, (c) questionnaires, and (d) other
qualitative methods. ASPE’s mission is
to advise the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services on policy development in
DATES:
health, disability, human services, data,
and science, and provides advice and
analysis on economic policy. ASPE
leads special initiatives, coordinates the
Department’s evaluation, research and
demonstration activities, and manages
cross-Department planning activities
such as strategic planning, legislative
planning, and review of regulations.
Integral to this role, ASPE will use this
mechanism to conduct qualitative
research, evaluation, or assessment,
conduct analyses, and understand
needs, barriers, or facilitators for HHSrelated programs.
ASPE is requesting comment on the
burden for qualitative research aimed at
understanding emerging health and
human services policy issues. The goal
of developing these activities is to
identify emerging issues and research
gaps to ensure the successful
implementation of HHS programs. The
participants may include health and
human services experts; national, state,
and local health or human services
representatives; public health, human
services, or healthcare providers; and
representatives of other health or human
services organizations. The increase in
burden from 747 in 2014 to 1,300
respondents in 2017 reflects an increase
in the number of research projects
conducted over the estimate in 2014.
