• enhance data reporting and
technology-enabled quality
improvement activities.
Two HCCN funding opportunities
were competed in FY 2013, resulting in
two grant cohorts with project period
end dates that differ by 8 months: 37
grants funded under HRSA–13–237
ending November 30, 2015, and six

grants funded under HRSA–13–267
ending July 31, 2016. BPHC requests to
implement one project period end date
for all active HCCNs, July 31, 2016, by
providing an additional 8 months of
support to grants funded under HRSA–
13–237. Creating one funding cycle will
prevent a lapse in funding that may
jeopardize HIT implementation

33275

underway at the health centers receiving
technical assistance from the HCCNs. By
September 30, 2015, $11,909,772 will be
awarded to continue the 37 grants’
approved activities for 8 months (see
Table 1). Awardees will report progress
and financial obligations made during
the 8-month budget period extension as
instructed by the Notice of Award.

A copy of the 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 format.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
The IHS LRP identifies health
professionals with pre-existing financial
obligations for education expenses that
meet program criteria 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 full-time at an eligible Indian
health program. The LRP 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

analyzed and a score is given to each
applicant. This score will determine
which applicants will be awarded each
fiscal year. The administrative scoring
system assigns a score to the geographic
location according to vacancy rates for
that fiscal year and also considers
whether the location is in an isolated
area. When an applicant accepts
employment at a location, the applicant
in turn ‘‘picks-up’’ the score of that
location. Affected Public: Individuals
and households. Type of Respondents:
Individuals.
The table below provides: Types of
data collection instruments, Estimated
number of respondents, Number of
responses per respondent, Annual
number of responses, Average burden
hour per response, and Total annual
burden hour(s).

estimate (the estimated amount of time
needed for individual respondents to
provide the requested information);
(d) whether the methodology and
assumptions used to determine the
estimates are logical;
(e) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information
being collected; and

application assists the applicant
efficiently and effectively.
