Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) Data Universal
Numbering System (DUNS)
All IHS applicants and grantee
organizations are required to obtain a DUNS
number and maintain an active registration
in the SAM database. The DUNS number is
a unique 9-digit identification number
provided by D&B which uniquely identifies
each entity. The DUNS number is site
specific; therefore, each distinct performance
site may be assigned a DUNS number.
Obtaining a DUNS number is easy, and there
is no charge. To obtain a DUNS number,
please access it through http://
fedgov.dnb.com/webform, or to expedite the
process, call (866) 705–5711.
All HHS recipients are required by the
Federal Funding Accountability and
Transparency Act of 2006, as amended
(‘‘Transparency Act’’), to report information
on subawards. Accordingly, all IHS grantees
must notify potential first-tier subrecipients
that no entity may receive a first-tier
subaward unless the entity has provided its
DUNS number to the prime grantee
organization. This requirement ensures the
use of a universal identifier to enhance the
quality of information available to the public
pursuant to the Transparency Act.
System for Award Management (SAM)
Organizations that were not registered with
Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and
have not registered with SAM will need to
obtain a DUNS number first and then access
the SAM online registration through the SAM
home page at https://www.sam.gov (U.S.
organizations will also need to provide an
Employer Identification Number from the
Internal Revenue Service that may take an
additional 2–5 weeks to become active).
Completing and submitting the registration
takes approximately one hour to complete
and SAM registration will take 3–5 business
days to process. Registration with the SAM
is free of charge. Applicants may register
online at https://www.sam.gov.
Additional information on implementing
the Transparency Act, including the specific
requirements for DUNS and SAM, can be
found on the IHS Grants Management, Grants
Policy Web site: https://www.ihs.go.

In compliance with section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et. seq.), which requires 60 days for
public comment on proposed
information collection projects, the
Indian Health Service (IHS) invites the
general public to take this opportunity
to comment on the information
collection Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Control Number 0917–
0014, titled, ‘‘IHS Loan Repayment
Program (LRP).’’
This previously approved information
collection project was last published in
the Federal Register (77 FR 27467) on
May 10, 2012, and allowed 30 days for
public comment. No public comment
was received in response to the notice.
This notice announces our intent to
submit this collection, which expires
May 31, 2015, to OMB for approval of
an extension and solicit comments on
specific aspects for the proposed
information collection.
A copy of the draft supporting
statement is available at
www.regulations.gov (see Docket ID
IHS–2015–0003).
Proposed Collection: Title: 0917–
0014, ‘‘Indian Health Service Loan
Repayment Program.’’ Type of
Information Collection Request:
Extension of currently approved
information collection, 0917–0014,
‘‘Indian Health Service Loan Repayment
Program.’’ The LRP application is
available in an electronically fillable
and fileable format. Form(s): The IHS
LRP Information Booklet contains the
instructions and the application
formats. Need and Use of Information
Collection: The IHS LRP identifies
health professionals with pre-existing
financial obligations for education
expenses that meet program criteria and
who are qualified and willing to serve
at, often remote, IHS health care
facilities. Under the program, eligible
health professionals sign a contract
through which the IHS agrees to repay
part or all of their indebtedness in
exchange for an initial two-year service
commitment to practice fulltime at an
eligible Indian health program. This
program is necessary to augment the
critically low health professional staff at
IHS health care facilities.
Any health professional wishing to
have their health education loans repaid
may apply to the IHS LRP. A two-year
contract obligation is signed by both
parties, and the individual agrees to
work at an eligible Indian health
program location and provide health
services to American Indian and Alaska
Native individuals.
The information collected via the online application from individuals is

applicant. This score will determine
which applicants will be awarded each

area. When an applicant accepts
employment at a location, the applicant
in turn ‘‘picks-up’’ the score of that
location. Affected Public: Individuals
