agencies must provide to the external 

quality review organization (EQRO) 

information obtained through methods 

consistent with the protocols specified 

by CMS. This information is used by the 

EQRO to determine the quality of care 

furnished by an MCO. Since the EQR 

results are made available to the general 

public, this allows Medicaid/CHIP 

enrollees and potential enrollees to 

make informed choices regarding the 

selection of their providers. It also 

allows advocacy organizations, 

researchers, and other interested parties 

access to information on the quality of 

care provided to Medicaid beneficiaries 

enrolled in Medicaid/CHIP MCOs. 

States use the information during their 

oversight of these organizations. Form

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Information Collection Request Title: 

Nurse Corps Scholarship Program. OMB 

No. 0915–0301—Revision. 

Abstract: The Nurse Corps 

Scholarship Program (Nurse Corps SP) 

is a competitive federal program, which 

awards scholarships to individuals to 

attend accredited schools of nursing. 

The Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) 

in HRSA administers the program. The 

scholarship consists of payment of 

tuition, fees, other reasonable 

educational costs, and a monthly 

support stipend. In return, the students 

agree to provide a minimum of 2 years 

of full-time clinical service (or an 

equivalent part-time commitment, as 

approved by the Nurse Corps SP) at a 

health care facility with a critical 

shortage of nurses as defined by the 

program. Nurse Corps SP recipients 

must be willing to (and are required to) 

fulfill their Nurse Corps SP service 

commitment at a health care facility 

with a critical shortage of nurses in the 

United States as well as 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. 

Students who are uncertain of their 

commitment to provide nursing care in 

a health care facility with a critical 

shortage of nurses in the United States 

or these territories are advised not to 

participate in the program. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: The Nurse Corps SP needs 

to collect data to determine an 

applicant’s eligibility for the program, to 

monitor a participant’s continued 

enrollment in a school of nursing, to 

monitor the participant’s compliance 

with the Nurse Corps SP service 

obligation, and to obtain data on its 

program to ensure compliance with 

statutory mandates and prepare annual 

reports to Congress. The following 

information will be collected: (1) From 

the applicants and/or the schools— 

general applicant and nursing 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 student 

enrollment status; and (3) from the 

participants and their health care 

facilities with a critical shortage of 

nurses, on a biannual basis—data 

concerning the participant’s 

employment status, work schedule, and 

leave usage. BHW enters the cost
