    Abstract: Clinicians participating in the HRSA National Health 
Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship Program and the Students to Service 
(S2S) Loan Repayment Program use the online Travel Request Worksheet to 
receive travel funds from the Federal Government to visit eligible NHSC 
sites to which they may be assigned in accordance with the Public 
Health Service Act (PHSA), section 331(c)(1).
    The travel approval process is initiated when a NHSC scholar or S2S 
participant notifies the NHSC 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 a NHSC scholar or S2S 
participant has successfully been matched to an approved practice site 
in accordance with the PHSA, section 331(c)(3). Upon receipt of the 
Travel Request Worksheet, the NHSC will review and approve or 
disapprove the request and promptly notify the scholar or S2S 
participant, and the NHSC logistics contractor, regarding travel 
arrangements and authorization of the funding for the site visit or 
relocation.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: This information will 
facilitate NHSC scholars and S2S clinicians' receipt of federal travel 
funds that are used to visit high-need NHSC sites. The Travel Request 
Worksheet is also used to initiate the relocation process after a NHSC 
scholar or S2S participant has successfully been matched to an approved 
practice site.
    Likely Respondents: Clinicians participating in the NHSC 
Scholarship Program and the S2S Loan Repayment Program.
    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
