AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995), the Health Resources and Services 
Administration (HRSA) announces plans to submit an Information 
Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB). Prior to submitting the ICR to OMB, HRSA seeks 
comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or any 
other aspect of the ICR.

DATES: Comments on this Information Collection Request must be received 
no later than May 23, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to [email protected] or mail the HRSA 
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Room 14N-39, 5600 Fishers

    Information Collection Request Title: Corps Community Event Form.
    OMB No.: 0915-0362 Extension.
    Abstract: Corps Community Month, formerly Corps Community Day, was 
created in 2011 and celebrates the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) 
every October. The NHSC is a program administered by the Bureau of 
Health Workforce (BHW) within HRSA. The goals of Corps Community Month 
encompass the following: Increase awareness of the NHSC to potential 
applicants and the greater primary health community; create a sense of 
community and connectedness among NHSC program participants, alumni, 
partners and staff; and underscore the NHSC's role in bringing primary 
health care services to the nation's neediest communities. Current 
program participants, alumni, NHSC Ambassadors, sites, primary care 
organizations, and professional associations plan events and report the 
details of their events to BHW so that they can be added to the state-
by-state map of events. In order to avoid duplication of effort, 
eliminate confusion regarding allowable event dates, avoid data entry 
errors, and implement a brief post-event satisfaction survey, BHW would 
like to continue to use the standard form that event planners use to 
report to BHW. The fillable form is available online and has 26 fields 
for event planners to populate to submit for inclusion on the map. 
There are also approximately 5 fields to populate following the event 
to measure satisfaction. Both the pre-event and post-event data fields 
are held in one form.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The information collected 
is used and needed to highlight the impact of BHW and the NHSC programs 
in underserved and rural areas as part

[[Page 15526]]

of outreach initiatives. Event information is captured and tracked to 
ensure that each HHS region is highlighted.
    Likely Respondents: Current program participants, alumni, NHSC 
Ambassadors, sites, primary care organizations, and professional 
associations.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
