Abstract: HRSA seeks to update the
Scholarships for Disadvantaged
Students (SDS) program-specific form to
collect 3 years of student data instead of
1 year of student data from SDS program
applicants. This will assist the agency in
making funding decisions for SDS
program awards. The form will reflect
programmatic changes to the SDS
program, made after consideration of the
PO 00000
Frm 00072
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
comments received in response to the
request for public comment, published
at 84 FR 23571, which will be finalized
in the forthcoming SDS Policy Change
Federal Register Notice.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of the SDS
Program is to make grant awards to
eligible schools to provide scholarships
to full-time, financially needy students
from disadvantaged backgrounds
enrolled in health professions programs.
To qualify for participation in the SDS
program, a school must be carrying out
a program for recruiting and retaining
students from disadvantaged
backgrounds, including students who
are members of racial and ethnic
minority groups (section 737(d)(1)(B) of
the Public Health Service (PHS) Act). To
meet this requirement, a school must
show that at least 20 percent of the
school’s full-time enrolled students and
graduates are from a disadvantaged
background. HRSA previously required
schools to demonstrate this percentage
by submitting 1 year of data; a school
must now provide this data for the most
recent 3-year period. The proposed
revisions to the SDS program-specific
form will require applicants to provide
the percentage of full-time enrolled
students and graduates from a
disadvantaged background over a 3-year
period, consistent with this policy
change.
An additional change to the SDS
program is that a 3-year average, instead
of a 1-year average, will be used to
calculate priority points, which are
provided to eligible schools based on
the proportion of graduating students
going into primary care, the proportion
of underrepresented minority students,
and the proportion of graduates working
in medically underserved communities
(section 737(c) of the PHS Act). The
proposed revisions to the SDS programspecific form will require applicants to
E:\FR\FM\08AUN1.SGM
08AUN1

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 153 / Thursday, August 8, 2019 / Notices
provide a 3-year average for these
percentages, consistent with this policy
change, as opposed to the 1 year of data
previously required.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
are institutions that apply for SDS
program awards.
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.

From the last submission, the number
of respondents has been updated with
more recent application figures. There
were 400 applications received for the
2012 application cycle and 323
applications from the 2016 cycle.
HRSA specifically requests comments
on (1) the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
