Health Resources and Services

Administration

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Proposed Collection;

Comment Request

In compliance with the requirement

of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for

opportunity for public comment on

proposed data collection projects, the

Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA) will publish

periodic summaries of proposed

projects being developed for submission

to OMB under the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995. To request more

information on the proposed project or

to obtain a copy of the data collection

plans and instruments, call the HRSA

Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443–

1129.

Comments are invited on: (a) whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on respondents, including through the

use of automated collection techniques

or other forms of information

technology.

Proposed Projects

Health Professions Student Loan

(HPSL) and Nursing Student Loan (NSL)

Programs—Forms (OMB No. 0915–

0044)—Extension and Revision—The

HPSL Program provides long-term, lowinterest loans to students attending

schools of medicine, osteopathic

medicine, dentistry, veterinary

medicine, optometry, podiatric

medicine, and pharmacy. The NSL

Program provides long-term, lowinterest loans to students who attend

eligible schools of nursing in programs

leading to a diploma in nursing, an

associate degree, a baccalaureate degree,

or a graduate degree in nursing.

Participating HPSL and NSL schools are

responsible for determining eligibility of

applicants, making loans, and collecting

monies owed by borrowers on their

outstanding loans. The Deferment form

(HRSA Form 519) provides the schools

with documentation of a borrower’s

eligibility for deferment. The Annual

Operating Report (AOR—HRSA Form

501) provides the Federal Government

with information from participating

schools relating to HPSL & NSL program

operations and financial activities.

The estimated annual response

burden is as follows:

Total .................................................................................................................... 11,553 .................... ..................... 7,619 hrs.

Three additional forms were

previously approved under the OMB

number cited above. These forms have

been discontinued for the following

reasons:

HRSA–514, HPSL & NSL Application

to Participate: This form was used by

schools to apply to participate in the

programs. Because there have been no

program appropriations for several

years, and the schools are operating the

program only with revolving loan funds,

the application form is no longer used.

HRSA 518, Request for Postponement

of Installment Payment, and HRSA 520,

Request for Partial Cancellation of Loan:

These forms, which were used by

borrowers to request cancellation or

postponement of their student loan

payments in return for service as a

Registered Nurse, are no longer needed.

The NSL cancellation provision for

service as a Registered Nurse has been

repealed for loans made on or after

September 29, 1979. There are now no

students eligible for these benefits.
