SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Nurse Corps Scholarship
Program, OMB No. 0915-0301--Revision.
Abstract: The Nurse Corps Scholarship Program (Nurse Corps SP),
administered by HRSA, provides scholarships to nursing students in
exchange for a minimum 2-year full-time service commitment (or part-
time equivalent), at an eligible health care facility with a critical
shortage of nurses (i.e., Critical Shortage Facility [CSF]). The
scholarship consists of payment of tuition, fees, other reasonable
educational costs, and a monthly support stipend. Program recipients
are required to fulfill Nurse Corps SP service commitments at CSFs
located in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, the
Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on June 11, 2025,
vol. 90, No. 111; pp. 24635-36. There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The Nurse Corps SP
collects data to determine an applicant's eligibility for the program,
monitor a participant's continued enrollment in a school of nursing,
monitor the participant's compliance with the Nurse Corps SP service
obligation, and prepare annual reports to Congress. The following
information will be collected: (1) from the applicants to determine
their eligibility--an application form consisting of personal (such as
proof of citizenship, references, and personal essay), financial (such
as the Student Aid Index), and educational information (including
verification of acceptance and good standing, tuition costs, and
transcripts); (2) from the schools, on a quarterly basis--general
applicant and nursing school data such as full name, location, tuition/
fees, and enrollment status; (3) from the schools, on an annual basis--
data concerning tuition/fees and overall student enrollment status; and
(4) from the participants and their employing CSF on a biannual basis--
data concerning the participant's employment status, work schedule, and
leave usage.
There will be minor changes to this information collection,
including replacing ``gender'' with ``sex'' and a discontinuation of
the collection of resumes within the application as they are not used
to determine eligibility.
Likely Respondents: Nurse Corps SP applicants, participants who are
in school, graduates, educational institutions, and CSFs.
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.
