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) and 
Native Hawaiian Health (NHH) Scholarship Programs Data Collection 
Worksheets (OMB No. 0915-0226)--Extension

    The NHSC and NHH Scholarship Programs were established to assure an 
adequate supply of trained primary care health professionals to the 
neediest communities in the Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) 
of the United States. Under these programs, allopathic physicians, 
osteopathic physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, 
physician assistants, and, if needed by the NHSC or NHH program, 
students of other health professions are offered the opportunity to 
enter into a contractual agreement with the Secretary under which the 
Public Health Service agrees to pay the total school tuition, required 
fees, other reasonable costs (ORC) and a stipend for living expenses. 
In exchange, the scholarship recipients agrees to provide full-time 
clinical services at a site in a federally designated HPSA.
    In order to accurately determine the amount of scholarship support 
that students will need during their academic training the Bureau of 
Primary Health Care must contact each scholars's school for an estimate 
of tuition, fees, and ORC. The Data Collection Worksheet collects these 
itemized costs for both resident and nonresident students.

                                                                 Estimated Burden Hours
