 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 October 1, 1995 unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Proposed Collection *Title:*
                         National Institutes of Health Undergraduate Scholarship Program for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds. 
                        *Type of Information Collection Request:*
                         Revision. 
                        *Form Numbers:*
                         NIH 2762-1, NIH 2762-2, NIH 2762-3, NIH 2762-4, and NIH 2762-5. 
                        *Need and Use of Information Collection:*
                         The NIH Undergraduate Scholarship Program for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds (UGSP) requires participants to maintain enrollment in an undergraduate degree program and to begin service payback through employment at the NIH within 60 days of their graduation. The NIH is proposing to modify the current information collection by adding NIH Form 2762-5 to allow individuals to defer their service payback obligation. This information collection certifies that scholars are continuing their undergraduate program and provides those who have graduated the 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.
