Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)-443-1129.

The following request has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:

Proposed Project: National Health Service Corps Travel Request Worksheet (OMB No. 0915-0278): Extension

Clinicians participating in the HRSA National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship Program use the Travel Request Worksheet to receive travel funds from the Federal Government to perform pre-employment interviews at sites on the Approved Practice List. The travel approval process is initiated when a scholar notifies the NHSC's In-Service Support Branch of an impending interview at one or more NHSC approved practice sites.

The Travel Request Worksheet is also used to initiate the relocation process after a NHSC scholar has successfully been matched to an approved practice site. Upon receipt of the Travel Request Worksheet, the NHSC will review and approve or disapprove the request and promptly notify the NHSC contractor regarding authorization of the funding for the relocation.

The burden estimate for the project is as follows:

Form	Number of respondents	Responses per respondent	Total responses	Hours per response	Total burden hours
Worksheet	250	2	500	.06	30

Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to: John Kraemer, Human Resources and Housing Branch, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503.

Dated: October 6, 2006.

Director, Division of Policy Review and Coordination.
