Information Collection Request Title:
Nurse Corps Scholarship Program.
OMB No. 0915–0301—Extension.
Abstract: The Nurse Corps
Scholarship Program (Nurse Corps SP),
administered by HRSA, provides
scholarships to nursing students in
exchange for a minimum 2-year fulltime service commitment (or part-time
equivalent), at an eligible health care
facility with a critical shortage of nurses
(i.e., Critical Shortage Facility (CSF)).
The scholarship consists of payment of
tuition, fees, other reasonable
educational costs, and a monthly
support stipend. Program recipients are
required to fulfill Nurse Corps SP
service commitments at CSFs located in
the 50 states, the District of Columbia,
Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa,
the Federated States of Micronesia, the
Republic of the Marshall Islands, and
the Republic of Palau.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on December 5, 2023,
vol. 87, No. 232; pp. 74428–29. There
were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The Nurse Corps SP
collects data to determine an applicant’s
eligibility for the program, monitor a
participant’s continued enrollment in a
school of nursing, monitor the
participant’s compliance with the Nurse
Corps SP service obligation, and prepare
annual reports to Congress. The
following information will be collected
(1) from the schools, on a quarterly
basis—general applicant and nursing
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
school data such as full name, location,
tuition/fees, and enrollment status; (2)
from the schools, on an annual basis—
data concerning tuition/fees and overall
student enrollment status; and (3) from
the participants and their employing
CSF on a biannual basis—data
concerning the participant’s
employment status, work schedule, and
leave usage. This notice includes several
changes to the information collection
forms that were included in the 60-day
notice, and requests comments on the
revised information collection.
Specifically, these changes are:
(1) Form Name Change: The ‘‘Initial
Employment Verification Form’’
changed to ‘‘Employment Verification
Form;’’ and ‘‘Employer—Participant
Service Verification Form’’ changed to
‘‘In-Service Verification Form.’’ These
titles more adequately describe the
forms.
(2) Additional Forms: This notice
includes two additional forms. (1) The
Verification of Acceptance Form, to be
completed by the academic institution
to verify that the participant remains in
good academic standing under the
policies of the institutions; and (2) the
Authorization to Release Information
Form, which permits the disclosure of
information pertaining to the
participant’s school enrollment,
transcripts and grades, academic
standing, enrollment and degree status,
curriculum and examination
requirements for graduation, tuition and
fees, leave-of-absence, withdrawal, or
dismissal from school. This information
will be used to determine eligibility to
continue to receive scholarship benefits
and the amount of those benefits. These
forms were not included in the 60-day
notice, but due to programmatic need to
ensure a method to adequately track
academic standing of participants and to
identify ongoing eligibility information
of participants, they are now being
included in this notice.
(3) Form Removal: The CSF
Verification Form was included in the
60-day notice but is not included in this
notice because the data formerly
collected through the CSF has been
included in the revised version of the
Employment Verification Form.
