Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget, in compliance with the 
Paperwork 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: Disadvantaged Assistance Tracking and Outcome 
Report (OMB No. 0915-0233)--Revision

    The Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) and the Centers of 
Excellence (COE) Program (sections 740 and 739 of the Public Health 
Service (PHS) Act, respectively) provide opportunities for under-
represented minorities and disadvantaged individuals to enter and 
graduate from health professions schools. The Disadvantaged Assistance 
Tracking and Outcome Report (DATOR) is used to track program 
participants throughout the health professions pipeline into the health 
care workforce. This request includes minor revisions to the previously 
approved data collection instrument that will address a number of data 
collection, data entry, as well as analytical problems encountered by 
the respondents.
    The DATOR, to be completed annually by HCOP and COE grantees, 
includes basic data on student participants (name, social security 
number, gender, race/ethnicity; targeted health professions, their 
status in the educational pipeline from pre-professional through 
professional training; financial assistance received through the grants 
funded under sections 739 and 740 of the PHS Act in the form of 
stipends, fellowships or per diem; and their employment or practice 
setting following their entry into the health care work force).
    The proposed reporting instrument is not expected to add 
significantly to the grantees reporting burden. This reporting 
instrument complements the grantees internal automated reporting 
mechanisms of using name and social security number in tracking 
students. The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, and 
financial resources expended to maintain, retain and provide the 
information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) downloading and 
utilizing technology for the purposes of collecting, validating, and 
processing the data; and (3) transmitting electronically, or otherwise 
disclosing the information. Estimates of annualized burden are as 
follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                 Number of      Responses per      Hours per       Total burden
               Type of report                   respondents       respondent        response          hours
