Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 216 / Tuesday, November 7, 2000 / Notices 66759

Program relies on the reporting of the

number of full-time equivalent residents

in applicant children’s hospital training

programs to determine the amount of

direct and indirect expense payments to

participating children’s hospitals.

Indirect expense payments will also be

derived from a formula that requires the

reporting of case mix index information

from participating children’s hospitals.

Hospitals will be requested to submit

such information in an annual

application. The statute also requires

reconciliation of the estimated numbers

of residents with the actual number

determined at the end of the fiscal year.

Participating children’s hospitals would

be required to complete an adjusted

report to correct such information on an

annual basis.

Agency Information Collection

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, 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: The National Health

Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship

Program Deferment Request Forms and

Associated Reporting Requirements

(OMB No. 0915–0179)—Revision

The National Health Service Corps

(NHSC) Scholarship Program was

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 the program, allopathic

physicians, osteopathic physicians,

dentists, nurse practitioners, nurse

midwives, physician assistants, and, if

needed by the NHSC program, students

of other health professionals 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 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.

Once the scholars have met their

academic requirements, the law requires

that individuals receiving a degree from

a school of medicine, osteopathic

medicine or dentistry be allowed to

defer their service obligation for a

maximum of 3 years to complete

approved internship, residency or other

advanced clinical training. The

Deferment Request Form provides the

information necessary for considering

the period and type of training for

which deferment of the service

obligation will be approved.

The estimated response burden is as

follows:
