Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection: 
Comment Request

    In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public 
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, Public Law 104-13), the Health Resources and Services 
Administration (HRSA) publishes 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 draft 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 Project: The Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) 
Program: Forms--(OMB No. 0915-0043)--Extension

    This clearance request is for extension of approval for three HEAL 
forms: The HEAL Repayment Schedule--Fixed Rate and the HEAL Repayment 
Schedule-- Variable Rate (provides the borrower with the cost of a HEAL 
loan, the number and amount of the payments, and the Truth-in-Lending 
disclosures); the Lender's Report on HEAL Student Loans Outstanding, 
Call Report (provides information on the status of loans outstanding by 
the number of borrowers whose loan payments are in various stages of 
the loan cycle, such as student education and repayment, and the 
corresponding dollar amounts). These forms are needed to provide 
borrowers with information on the cost of their loan(s) and to 
determine which lenders may have excessive delinquencies and defaulted 
loans.
    The estimate of burden for the forms are as follows:
