SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of 

information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and 

includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension or 

reinstatement of an existing collection 

of information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, CMS is 

publishing this notice that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of 

information for public comment: 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: External Quality 

Review (EQR) of Medicaid Managed 

Care Organizations (MCOs) and 

Supporting Regulations; Use: State 

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 

Number: CMS–R–305 (OMB control 

number 0938–0786); Frequency: Yearly; 

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments; Number of Respondents: 

43; Total Annual Responses: 76; Total 

Annual Hours: 451,288. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Barbara Dailey at 410–786–

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

Information Collection Request Title: 

Providing Primary Care and 

Preventative Medical Services in Ryan 

White-funded Medical Care Settings: 

OMB No. 0915–xxxx—New. 

Abstract: Since Congress passed the 

Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS 

Resource Emergency (CARE) Act in 

1990, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS 

Program (Ryan White Program) has 

funded the provision of care eligible to 

persons living with HIV (PLWH). Many 

Ryan White-funded clinics have long 

promoted the medical home model, 

which involves the provision of 

comprehensive and coordinated care 

services, including prevention and other 

non-medical care services to promote 

access and adherence to HIV/AIDS 

treatment. As PLWH live longer and 

normal lives with effective antiretroviral 

treatment, this model has become more 

complex. In recent years, clinics 

providing care to PLWH are also seeing 

their patients develop other common 

chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart 

disease, and hypertension associated 

with normal and aging populations. 

Guidelines 1 on primary care for PLWH 

have recently been released to help 

providers navigate the integration of 

primary and preventative care into HIV 

care. With already limited budgets, 

staffing and other resources, Ryan 

White-funded clinics may struggle to 

provide primary and preventative care 

services in-house or have insufficient 

referral systems. However, under the 

Affordable Care Act, most PLWH can 

obtain more affordable health insurance 

which can alleviate some burden on
