    The Division of Facilities Loans within the Health Resources and 
Services Administration monitors outstanding direct and guaranteed 
loans made under Section 621 of Title VI and Section 1601 of Title XVI 
of the Public Health Service Act, as well as loans insured under the 
Section 242 Hospital Mortgage Insurance Program of the Fair Housing

of health care facilities by increasing the access of facilities to 
capital through the assumption of the mortgage credit risk by the 
Federal Government.
    Operating statistics and financial information are collected 
annually from hospitals with mortgages that are insured under these 
programs. The information is used to monitor the financial stability of 
the hospitals to protect the Federal investment in these facilities. 
The form used for the data collection is the Hospital Facility Data 
Abstract. No changes in the form are proposed. The estimate of annual 
burden hours is as follows:
