Electronic Disease Surveillance System 

(NEDSS) and Public Health Information 

Network (PHIN). Following the 

transition, many respondents will 

implement a PHIN compatible 

information system to collect and report 

TB surveillance data via the PHIN 

Messaging System. The remaining 

respondents will employ the NEDSS 

base system. These respondents will be 

able to use either the associated TB 

Program Area Module or their own TB 

surveillance application to collect and 

report RVCT data to CDC. 

CDC publishes an annual report 

summarizing national TB statistics and 

also periodically conducts special 

analyses for publication in peerreviewed scientific journals to further 

describe and interpret national TB data. 

These data assist public health officials 

and policy makers in program planning, 

evaluation, and resource allocation. 

Reporting Areas also review and analyze 

their RVCT data to monitor local TB 

trends, evaluate program success, and 

assist in focusing resources to eliminate 

TB. 

No other Federal agency collects this 

type of national TB data. In addition to 

providing technical assistance on the 

use of RVCT, CDC also provides 

Reporting Areas with technical support 

for the TIMS software. In this request, 

CDC is requesting approval for 7,560 

burden hours, a decrease of 780 hours. 

There are no costs to respondents except 

for their time. This decrease is due to a 

decrease in the total number of 

tuberculosis cases.

Comment Request 

In compliance with the requirement 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects 

(section 3506(c)(2)(A)) of Title 44, 

United States Code, as amended by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13, the Health 

Resources and Services Administration 

(HRSA) publishes periodic summaries 

of proposed projects being developed 

for submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

To request more information on the 

proposed project or to obtain a copy of 

the data collection plans and draft 

instruments, call the HRSA Reports 

Clearance Officer on (301) 443–1129. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Proposed Project: The Health 

Professions Student Loan (HPSL) and 

Nursing Student Loan (NSL) Programs: 

Forms (OMB No. 0915–0044): Extension 

The HPSL Program Provides longterm, low-interest loans to students 

attending schools of medicine, 

osteopathic medicine, dentistry, 

veterinary medicine, optometry, 

podiatric medicine, and pharmacy. The 

NSL Program provides long-term, lowinterest loans to students who attend 

eligible schools of nursing in programs 

leading to a diploma in nursing, and an 

associate degree, a baccalaureate degree, 

or a graduate degree in nursing. 

Participating HPSL and NSL schools are 

responsible for determining eligibility of 

applicants, making loans, and collecting 

monies owed by borrowers on their 

outstanding loans. The deferment form 

(HRSA form 519) provides the schools 

with documentation of a borrower’s 

eligibility for deferment. The Annual 

Operating Report (AOR–HRSA form 

501) provides the Federal Government 

with information from participating and 

non-participating schools (schools that 

are no longer granting loans but are 

required to report and maintain program 

records, student records, and repayment 

records until all student loans are repaid 

in full and all monies due the Federal 

Government are returned) relating to 

HPSL and NSL program operations and 

financial activities.

Proposed Project 

Outcome Study of National Health 

Service Corps (NHSC) Chiropractor and 

Pharmacist Loan Repayment 

Demonstration Project—New 

In 2002, Congress authorized a 

demonstration project to provide for the 

participation of chiropractors and 

pharmacists in the NHSC Loan 

Repayment Program. This study 

provides for an evaluation of the 

demonstration project to determine (1) 

the manner in which the demonstration 

project has affected access to primary 

care services, patient satisfaction, 

quality of care, and health care services 

provided for traditionally underserved 

populations; (2) how the participation of 

chiropractors and pharmacists in the 

Loan Repayment Program might affect 

the designation of health professional 

shortage areas; and (3) whether adding 

chiropractors and pharmacists as 

permanent members of the NHSC would 

be feasible and would enhance the 

effectiveness of the NHSC.
