Health Resources And Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
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, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services 
Administration (HRSA) will publish 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, 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 of other 
forms of information technology.

Proposed Project: National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Travel Request 
Worksheet (OMB No. 0915-0278): Extension

    Clinicians participating in the Health Resources and Services 
Administration (HRSA) National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship 
Program use the Travel Request Worksheet to receive travel funds from 
the Federal Government to perform pre-employment interviews at sites on 
the Approved Practice List. The travel approval process is initiated 
when a scholar notifies the NHSC's In-Service Support Branch of an 
impending interview at one or more NHSC approved practice sites.
    The Travel Request Worksheet is also used to initiate the 
relocation process after an NHSC scholar has successfully been matched 
to an approved practice site. Upon receipt of the Travel Request 
Worksheet, the NHSC will review and approve or disapprove the request 
and promptly notify the NHSC contractor regarding authorization of the 
funding for the relocation.
    The burden estimate for this project is as follows:
