Information Collection Request Title: National Health Service Corps
Scholar/Students to Service Travel Worksheet, OMB No. 0915-0278--
Extension.
Abstract: Clinicians participating in the HRSA National Health
Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship Program (SP) and the Students to
Service (S2S) Loan Repayment Program (LRP) use the online Travel
Request Worksheet to request and 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, section 331(c)(1).
The travel approval process is initiated when an 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 Public Health Service Act, section 331(c)(3).
Upon receipt of a completed 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 scholar and S2S participants' receipt of federal travel
funds that are used to visit high-need NHSC-approved practice sites.
The Travel Request Worksheet is also used to initiate the relocation
process after a NHSC scholar or S2S participant has
[[Page 41977]]
successfully been matched to an approved practice site.
Likely Respondents: Clinicians participating in the NHSC SP and the
S2S LRP.
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
this ICR are summarized in the table below.

utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated
