Proposed Project: The Health Education 

Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program: 

Forms (OMB No. 0915–0034)— 

Extension 

The HEAL program provided 

federally insured loans to assure the 

availability of funds for loans to eligible 

students to pay for their education costs. 

In order to administer and monitor the 

HEAL program the following forms are 

utilized: the Lender’s Application for 

Contract of Federal Loan Insurance form 

(used by lenders to make application to 

the HEAL insurance program); the 

Borrower’s Deferment Request form 

(used by borrowers to request 

deferments on HEAL loans and used by 

lenders to determine borrower’s 

eligibility for deferment); the Borrower 

Loan Status update electronic 

submission (submitted monthly by 

lenders to the Secretary on the status of 

each loan); and the Loan Purchase/ 

Consolidation electronic submission 

(submitted by lenders to the Secretary to 

report sales, and purchases of HEAL 

loans). 

The estimates of burden for the forms 

are as follows:

Proposed Project 

Minority HIV/AIDS Research 

Initiative (MARI) Project-Family and 

Cultural Influences on Talking 

Strategies (New 60-day FRN); National 

Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, 

Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and 

Tuberculosis Elimination Programs 

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC is requesting OMB approval to 

conduct an assessment of the 

determinants of factors associated with 

parent-adolescent communication about 

sex among African-American and 

Hispanic mothers and their children in 

the southwestern United States. In the 

United States, non-Hispanic Black and 

Hispanic adolescents have been 

disproportionately impacted by HIV/ 

AIDS. In 2006, based on CDC data from 

the 50 states and the District of 

Columbia, non-Hispanic Blacks and 

Hispanics made up 16% and 17%, 

respectively (34% total), of the 13–19 

year-old population, but 69% and 19% 

respectively (88% total) of AIDS 

diagnoses among that age group. In 

addition, current trends suggest that a 

large number of persons with HIV/AIDS 

are infected in their adolescent years, 

and there may be a long latency period 

before signs of infection present in later 

years. Individuals may develop patterns 

of sexual behavior in adolescence that 

put them at risk for infection with HIV.
