Program for Individuals From

Disadvantaged Backgrounds

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of

section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the

Director, National Institutes of Health

(NIH) has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) a

request to review and approve the

information collection listed below.

This proposed information collection

was previously published in the Federal

Register on February 27, 2001, page

12529, and allowed 60 days for public

comment. No public comments were

received. The purpose of this notice is

to allow an additional 30 days for public

comment. The NIH may not conduct or

sponsor, and the respondent is not

required to respond to, an information

collection that has been extended,

revised, or implemented on or after

opportunity to request a deferment of

their service payback obligation if they

are enrolled in an approved graduate or

medical degree program. Frequency of

response: Annual. Affected public:

Individuals and Academic Institutions.

the UGSP and Academic Institutions

schools). The annual reporting burden
