Abstract: The need and purpose of this information collection is to obtain information from the State Primary Care Offices (PCO) via the Shortage Designation Management System (SDMS) for the review of geographic area, population, or facility Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) and Medically Underserved Area/Population (MUAP) designations. The application asks for national, state and local data required to determine the area, population, or facility’s eligibility for a shortage designation. The respondents for this information collection are State PCO who seek to improve primary care service delivery and workforce availability in the State or territory to meet the needs of underserved populations.
