Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget, in compliance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a 
copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the 
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443-1129.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995.

Proposed Project: Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL) and 
Nursing Student Loan (NSL) Programs: Forms (OMB No. 0915-0044)--
Revision

    The HPSL Program provides long-term, low-interest loans to students 
attending schools of medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, 
veterinary medicine, optometry, podiatric medicine, and pharmacy. The 
NSL Program provides long-term, low-interest 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 and non-participating schools (schools that are no longer 
granting loans but are required to report and maintain program records, 
student records, and repayment records until all student loans are 
repaid in full and all monies due the Federal Government are returned) 
relating to HPSL and NSL program operations and financial activities.
    The estimate of burden is as follows:
