Abstract: The need and purpose of this information collection is to obtain information for Nurse Corps LRP applicants and participants. The information is used to consider an applicant for a Nurse Corps LRP contract award, and to monitor a participant’s compliance with the service requirements. Individuals must submit an application in order to participate in the program. The application asks for personal, professional, educational, and financial information required to determine the applicant's eligibility to participate in the Nurse Corps LRP. The semi-annual employment verification form asks for personal and employment information to determine if a participant is in compliance with the service requirements. Respondents include professional RNs or advanced practice RNs (i.e., nurse practitioners, certified registered nurse anesthetists, certified nurse-midwives, clinical nurse -0ecialists) who are interested in participating in the Nurse Corps LRP, and official representatives at their service sites.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Some of the individual forms have an increase in burden due to the increase in the number of respondents. There is an overall decrease in the burden because we have taken out the Disadvantaged Student form. Upon further review of the Nurse Corps LRP application, it was determined that the Disadvantaged Background Form is redundant as this information is already captured in the Nurse Corps LRP Application. Therefore, this form will be removed from the information collection.
