SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Application and Other Forms Used by
the National Health Service Corps
(NHSC) Scholarship Program (SP), the
NHSC Students to Service Loan
Repayment Program (S2S LRP), and the
Native Hawaiian Health Scholarship
Program (NHHSP).
Jkt 250001
Abstract: Administered by HRSA’s
Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW), the
NHSC SP, NHSC S2S LRP, and the
NHHSP provide scholarships or loan
repayment to qualified students who are
pursuing primary care health
professions education and training. In
return, students agree to provide
primary health care services in
underserved communities located in
federally designated Health Professional
Shortage Areas once they are fully
trained and licensed health
professionals. Awards are made to
applicants who demonstrate the greatest
potential for successful completion of
their education and training as well as
commitment to provide primary health
care services to communities of greatest
need. The information from program
applications, forms, and supporting
documentation is used to select the best
qualified candidates for these
competitive awards, and to monitor
program participants’ enrollment in
school, postgraduate training, and
compliance with program requirements.
Although some program forms vary
from program to program (see programspecific burden charts below), required
forms generally include: A program
application, academic and nonacademic letters of recommendation, the
authorization to release information,
and the acceptance/verification of good
standing report. Additional forms for
the NHSC SP include the data collection
worksheet, which is completed by the
educational institutions of program
participants; the post-graduate training
verification form (applicable for NHSC
S2S LRP participants), which is
completed by program participants and
their residency director; and the
enrollment verification form, which is
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
completed by program participants and
the educational institution for each
academic term. The NHHSP program
will add 3 new forms including the
scholar enrollment verification, change
in program curriculum and graduation
documentation forms. These forms are
completed by the grantee on behalf of
the participant and the educational
institution to verify the participant’s
enrollment status for each academic
term, to provide notice of any change in
the participant’s program curriculum
and to verify that NHHSP has met its
financial obligation to pay tuition and
related fees or to hold additional funds
to cover any tuition balance or fees on
the participant’s student account.
Upon review of the 60-day notice, it
was determined that The ‘‘Post Graduate
Training Form’’ was accidentally
included as a duplicate entry since it is
already captured in the ‘‘NHSC
awardees/schools/post graduate training
programs/sites’’ section, which is the
proper program for which it is used.
Therefore, it was removed from the
NHSC Students to Service Loan
Repayment Program Application’’
section of the Estimated Burden Table.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on March 9, 2020, vol.
85, No. 46; pp. 13662–13664. There was
one public comment.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The NHSC SP, S2S LRP,
and NHHSP applications, forms, and
supporting documentation are used to
collect necessary information from
applicants that enable HRSA to make
selection determinations for the
competitive awards and monitor
compliance with program requirements.
Likely Respondents: Qualified
students who are pursuing education
and training in primary care health
professions and are interested in
working in health professional shortage
areas.
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.
