Information Collection Request Title:
Health Professions Student Loan
Program, Loans for Disadvantaged
Students, Primary Care Loan Program,
and Nursing Student Loan Program
Administrative Requirements, OMB No.
0915- 0047- Revision.
Abstract: This request is for approval
of the Health Professions Student Loan
(HPSL) Program, Loans for
Disadvantaged Students (LDS), Primary
Care Loan Program (PCL), and Nursing
Student Loan (NSL) Program
Administrative Requirements. The form
was previously titled as the HPSL
Program and NSL Program
Administrative Requirements
(Regulations and Policy). This request
seeks to add the LDS and PCL Program
as the forms discussed in this notice are
also used for these programs.
The HPSL Program, as authorized by
Public Health Service (PHS) Act
sections 721–722 and 725–735, provides
long-term, low-interest loans to students
attending schools of medicine,
osteopathic medicine, dentistry,
veterinary medicine, optometry,
podiatric medicine, and pharmacy. The
LDS Program, as authorized by PHS Act
sections 721–722 and 724–735, provides
long-term, low interest loans to students
attending schools of allopathic
medicine, osteopathic medicine,
podiatric medicine, dentistry,
optometry, pharmacy, and veterinary
medicine. The PCL Program, as
authorized by PHS Act sections 721–723
and 725–735, provides long-term, low
interest loans to students attending
schools of allopathic medicine and
osteopathic medicine to practice
primary health care. The NSL Program,
as authorized by PHS Act sections 835–
842, provides long-term, low-interest
loans to students who attend eligible
schools of nursing in programs leading
to a diploma degree, an associate degree,
a baccalaureate degree, or a graduate
degree in nursing. These programs also
have a number of recordkeeping and
reporting requirements for academic
institutions and loan applicants. The
applicable requirements for these
programs are outlined in 42 CFR
57.201–218 and 57.301–318. HRSA
proposes revisions to the Annual
Operating Report (AOR)-HRSA Form
501, completed by institutions
participating in the HPSL, LDS, PCL,
and NSL programs to obtain additional
information about those institutions and
their student borrowers.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Participating HPSL, LDS,
PCL, and NSL schools are responsible
for determining eligibility of applicants,
making loans, and collecting monies
owed by borrowers on their outstanding
loans. Participating schools include
schools that are no longer disbursing
loans but are required to report and
maintain program records, student

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 240 / Monday, December 14, 2020 / Notices
records, and repayment records until all
student loans are repaid in full and all
monies due to the federal government
are returned. The Deferment Form—
HRSA Form 519, provides the schools
with documentation of a borrower’s
deferment status, as detailed for the
HPSL program under 42 CFR 57.210 and
for NSL under 42 CFR 57.310, and is
included without revision.
The AOR–HRSA Form 501 provides
the Department of Health and Human
Services with information from
participating schools relating to HPSL,
LDS, PCL and NSL program operations
and financial activities. The proposed
revisions to the AOR include the
addition of a part-time option to select
questions to allow institutions to report
data on their part-time students, who
are eligible to receive funding through
the NSL program.
Specifically, the ‘‘part-time’’ option
will be added to the following questions
for the NSL program:
Question 3, page 1A of the non-PCL
section of the AOR (total full-time
enrollment for the Nursing discipline
for the academic year -NSL loan
recipients),
Question 13 (total number of full
time graduates -NSL loan recipients at
the school during the current reporting
period),
Question 14 (total number of full
time NSL graduates -NSL loan
recipients during the current reporting
period who indicate intent to serve in a
rural area),
Question 15b (of the total graduates
reported in question 15a, the number of
full-time NSL graduates -NSL loan
recipients in academic year 20XX—
20XX serving in medically underserved
communities),
Question 15c (of the total graduates
reported in question 15a, the number of
Full-Time NSL graduates -NSL loan
recipients in academic year 20XX—
20XX serving in primary care), and
Question 15d (of the total graduates
in question 15a, the number of full-time
NSL graduates -NSL loan recipients in
Academic Year 20XX–20XX who
entered the field for which they
received their degree).
HRSA also proposes to revise the
AOR–HRSA Form 501 form to include
four additional demographic questions
at the bottom of Page 1A of all AORs so
that HRSA can better categorize the
types of institutions participating in the
loan programs: 16a. Are you a
Community College?
16b. Are you a Historically Black
College or University?
16c. Are you a Tribal college or
university? and
16d. Are you an institution located
in a rural area?
In addition, HRSA proposes to revise
Page 4 (the excess cash worksheet) of
the AOR–HRSA Form 501 form to limit
the grantees’ ability to make projections
to 1-year rather than the previously
required 3-year projection of funding.
This proposed revision will allow HRSA
to improve the overall management of
funding.
Likely Respondents: Institutions
participating in the HPSL, LDS, PCL,
and/or NSL 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 review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
