Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

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, e-mail

The following request has been 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget for review under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: 

Proposed Project: Retention Survey of 

NHSC Clinicians and Alumni/NHSC 

Site Administrators—(OMB No. 0915– 

NEW) 

The National Health Service Corps 

(NHSC) Loan Repayment and 

Scholarship Programs were established 

to assure an adequate supply of trained 

primary care health care professionals to 

provide services in the neediest Health 

Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) of 

the United States. Under these 

programs, the Department of Health and 

Human Services agrees to repay the 

educational loans of, or provide 

scholarships to, primary care health 

professionals. In return, the 

professionals agree to serve for a 

specified period of time in a federally 

designated HPSA approved by the 

Secretary. The last survey conducted to 

analyze retention of NHSC clinicians is 

more than 10 years old. There is a need 

to distribute a survey to reevaluate the 

personal/professional development of 

NHSC clinicians in an effort to retain 

the clinicians in service providing care 

for individuals residing in underserved 

areas. The survey will ask current and 

former NHSC clinicians questions 

regarding professional satisfaction, 

expectations of being in the NHSC, and 

about their experiences at NHSC sites. 

The survey will also ask NHSC site 

administrators questions about the sites 

and about the attributes of the current 

and former NHSC clinicians at sites. 

The annual estimate of burden is as 

follows:
