Proposed Project: Advanced Education 

Nursing Traineeship (AENT) and Nurse 

Anesthetist Traineeship (NAT) (OMB 

No. 0915–0305): Revision 

The Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA) provides 

training grants to educational 

institutions to increase the numbers of 

advanced education nurses through the 

Advanced Education Nursing 

Traineeship (AENT) program and the 

Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship (NAT) 

program. 

HRSA developed the AENT and NAT 

tables for the application guidances and 

the Nurse Traineeship Database for the 

two nursing traineeship programs. The 

AENT and NAT tables are used 

annually by grant applicants that are 

applying for AENT and NAT funding. 

The funds appropriated for the AENT 

and NAT programs are distributed 

among eligible institutions based on a 

formula. Award amounts are based on 

enrollment and graduate data reported 

on the tables and two funding factors 

(Statutory Funding Preference and 

Statutory Special Consideration). 

The AENT and NAT tables include 

information on program participants 

such as the number of enrollees, 

projected data on enrollees and 

graduates for the following academic 

year, number of trainees supported, 

number of graduates, number of 

graduates supported and the types of 

programs they are enrolling into and/or 

from which they are graduating. AENT 

and NAT applicants will have a single 

access point to submit their grant 

applications including the tables. 

Applications are submitted in two 

phases: Grants.gov (Phase 1) and the 

HRSA Electronic Handbooks (Phase 2). 

These tables will be available 

electronically through the HRSA 

Electronic Handbooks (Phase 2) for 

applicants to submit their AENT and/or 

NAT grant application(s). The tables are 

also used in the Nurse Traineeship 

Database which is used by Division of 

Nursing staff and not the applicants. 

Data from the tables will be used in 

the award determination and validation 

process. Additionally, the data will be 

used to ensure programmatic 

compliance, report to Congress and 

policymakers on the program 

accomplishments, and formulate and 

justify future budgets for these activities 

submitted to OMB and Congress.

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

Periodically, the Health Resources

publishes abstracts of information 

collection requests under review by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

The following request has been 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget for review under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: 

Proposed Project: Enrollment and ReCertification of Entities in the 340B 

Drug Pricing Program [NEW] 

Section 602 of Public Law 102–585, 

the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992, 

enacted section 340B of the Public 

Health Service Act (PHS Act) 

‘‘Limitation on Prices of Drugs 

Purchased by Covered Entities.’’ Section 

340B provides that a manufacturer who 

sells covered outpatient drugs to eligible 

entities must sign a pharmaceutical 

pricing agreement with the Secretary of 

Health and Human Services in which 

the manufacturer agrees to charge a 

price for covered outpatient drugs that 

will not exceed an amount determined 

under a statutory formula. 

Covered entities which choose to 

participate in the section 340B Drug 

Pricing Program must comply with the 

requirements of 340B(a)(5) of the PHS 

Act. Section 340B(a)(5)(A) prohibits a 

covered entity from accepting a 

discount for a drug that would also 

generate a Medicaid rebate. Further, 

section 340B(a)(5)(B) prohibits a 

covered entity from reselling or 

otherwise transferring a discounted drug 

to a person who is not a patient of the 

entity. 

In response to the statutory mandate 

of section 340B(a)(9) to notify 

manufacturers of the identities of 

covered entities and the mandate of 

section 340B(a)(5)(A)(ii) to establish a 

mechanism to ensure against duplicate 

discounts and the ongoing 

responsibility to administer the 340B 

Drug Pricing Program while maintaining 

efficiency, transparency and integrity, 

the HRSA Office of Pharmacy Affairs 

(OPA) developed a process of 

registration of covered entities to enable 

it to address those mandates. 

Enrollment/Registration 

To enroll and certify the eligible 

federally funded grantees and other 

safety net health care providers, OPA 

requires entities to submit 

administrative information (e.g., 

shipping and billing arrangements, 

Medicaid participation), certifying 

information and signatures from 

appropriate grantee level or entity level 

authorizing officials and State/local 

government representatives. The 

purpose of this registration information
