Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
publishes abstracts of information collection requests under review by
the office of Management and Budget, in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of the
clearance request submitted to OMB for review, call the HRSA Reports
Clearance Office at (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: The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) and
Native Hawaiian Health (NHH) Scholarship Programs Data Collection
Worksheets
In Use Without Approval--The NHSC and NHH Scholarship Programs were
established to assure an adequate supply of trained primary care health
professionals to the neediest communities in the Health Professional
Shortage Areas (HPSAs) of the United States. Under these programs,
allopathic physicians, osteopathic physicians, dentists, nurse
practitioners, nurse midwives, physician assistants, and, if needed by
the NHSC or NHH program, students of other health professions are
offered the opportunity to enter into a contractual agreement with the
Secretary under which the Public Health Service agrees to pay the total
school tuition, required fees, other reasonable costs (ORC) and a
stipend for living expenses. In exchange, the scholarship recipient
agrees to provide full-time clinical services at a site in a federally
designated HPSA.
In order to accurately determine the amount of scholarship support
that students will need during their academic training, the Bureau of
Primary Health Care must contact each scholar's school for an estimate
of tuition, fees, and ORC. The Data Collection Worksheet collects these
itemized costs for both resident and nonresident students.
The estimated reporting burden is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Minutes per Total burden
Type of report respondents response hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Worksheet....................................................... 600 30 300
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to:
Laura Oliven, Human Resources and Housing Branch, Office of Management
and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, D.C.
20503.
Dated: August 25, 1998.
Jane Harrison,
Director, Division of Policy Review and Coordination.
