SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Advanced Nursing Education
(ANE) Program Specific Form OMB No. 0915-0375--Revision.
Abstract: HRSA provides advanced nursing education grants to
educational institutions to increase the supply, distribution, quality
of, and access to advanced education nurses through the ANE Programs.
The ANE Programs are authorized by section 811 of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 296j), as amended. This clearance request is for
continued approval of the information collection OMB No. 0915-0375 with
revisions. This revision request seeks to add the ANE-Nurse
Practitioner Residency and Fellowship Program and the Maternity Care
Nursing Workforce Expansion Program to the ANE Program Specific Form,
and to remove programs that have closed, which include the ANE-Nurse
Practitioner Residency Program and the ANE-Nurse Practitioner Residency
Integration Program. The activities previously supported under the ANE
Nurse Practitioner Residency Program and the ANE-Nurse Practitioner
Residency Integration Program are now supported under the ANE-Nurse
Practitioner Residency and Fellowship Program.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on December 28,
2023, 88 FR 89709-10. There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Section 811 of the Public
Health Service Act provides the Secretary of Health and Human Services
with the authority to award grants to and enter into contracts with
eligible entities to meet the costs of: (1) projects that support the
enhancement of advanced nursing education and practice; and (2)
traineeships for individuals in advanced nursing education programs.
Under this section, HRSA makes awards to entities who train and support
nurses characterized as ``advanced education nurses.'' In awarding such
grants, funding preference is given to applicants with projects that
will substantially benefit rural or underserved populations, or help
meet public health nursing needs in state or local health departments;
special consideration is given to an eligible entity that agrees to
extend the award to train advanced education nurses who will practice
in designated Health Professional Shortage Areas.
The ANE Program Specific Form allows HRSA to effectively target
[[Page 16585]]
funding and measure the impact of the ANE Programs in meeting the
legislative intent and program goals of supporting the enhancement of
advanced nursing education and creating opportunities for individuals
in advanced nursing education programs to increase the number of
advanced practice nurses, especially in rural and underserved areas.
Additionally, collecting this data assists HRSA in carrying out the
most impactful program and ensuring resources are used responsibly. The
proposed updates to this information collection are to accurately list
the current ANE Programs.
Likely Respondents: Likely respondents will be current ANE Programs
awardees and new applicants to ANE Programs.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
