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 In-School Worksheets (New)

The National Health Service Corps

(NHSC) Scholarship Program was

established to help alleviate the

geographical and specialty

maldistribution of physicians and other

health practitioners in the United States.

Under this program, health professional

students are offered scholarships in

return for services in a federallydesignated Health Professional Shortage

Area (HPSA). If awarded an NHSC

Scholarship, the Program requires the

schools and the awardees to review and

complete data collection worksheets for

each year that the student is a NHSC

Scholar.

The Data Sheet requests that the

NHSC Scholar review the form for the

accuracy of information such as social

security number, contact information,

current curriculum, and date of

graduation. If the information is

inaccurate, the scholar makes the

necessary changes directly on the form.

If the inaccurate information pertains to

the curriculum or date of graduation,

the scholar will make changes directly

on the form and include written

notification from the school.

The Verification Sheet is sent to the

school along with a list of the NHSC

scholars who are enrolled for the

current academic year. The schools

verify and/or correct the enrollment

status of each of the scholars on the list.

The Contact Sheet requests contact

information for pertinent school

officials. This information is used by the

NHSC Scholarship Program for future

contacts with the schools.

The estimated burden is as follows:
