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 (OMB), 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)--Extension

    The Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) and the Centers of 
Excellence (COE) Program (authorized under sections 740 and 739 
respectively of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, 42 U.S.C. 293d and 
293c) 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.
    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 does not 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

information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to: 
John Kraemer, Desk Officer, Human Resources and Housing Branch, Office 
of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235,
