Proposed Project: National Health 

Service Corps Travel Request 

Worksheet—Extension 

Clinicians participating in the HRSA 

National Health Service Corps (NHSC) 

Scholarship Program use the online 

Travel Request Worksheet to receive 

travel funds from the Federal 

Government to perform pre-employment 

interviews at sites on the NHSC’s 

Opportunities List. 

The travel approval process is 

initiated when a scholar notifies the 

NHSC of an impending interview at one 

or more NHSC approved practice sites. 

The Travel Request Worksheet is also 

used to initiate the relocation process 

after a NHSC scholar has successfully 

been matched to an approved practice 

site. Upon receipt of the Travel Request 

Worksheet, the NHSC will review and 

approve or disapprove the request and 

promptly notify the scholar and the 

NHSC logistics contractor regarding 

travel arrangements and authorization of 

the funding for the site visit or 

relocation. 

The estimated annual burden is as

Proposed Project: The Health Education 

Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program: 

Forms (OMB No. 0915–0043)— 

Extension 

The Health Education Assistance 

Loan (HEAL) program continues to 

administer and monitor outstanding 

loans which were provided to eligible 

students to pay for educational costs in 

a number of health professions. HEAL 

forms collect information that is 

required for responsible program 

management. The HEAL Repayment 

Schedule, Fixed and Variable, provides 

the borrower with the cost of a HEAL 

loan, the number and amount of 

payments, and the Truth-in-Lending 

disclosures. The Lender’s Report on 

HEAL Student Loans Outstanding (Call 

Report), provides information on the 

status of loans outstanding by the 

number of borrowers and total number 

of loans whose loan payments are in 

various stages of the loan cycle, such as 

student education and repayment, and 

the corresponding dollar amounts. 

These forms are needed to provide 

borrowers with information on the cost 

of their loan(s) and to determine which 

lenders may have excessive 

delinquencies and defaulted loans. 

The estimate of burden for the forms 

is as follows:
