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 (OMB), 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) Program and 
Nursing Student Loan (NSL) Program Administrative Requirements 
(Regulations and Policy) (OMB No. 0915-0047)--Extension

    The regulations for the Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL) 
Program and Nursing Student Loan (NSL) Program contain a number of 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements for schools and loan 
applicants. The requirements are essential for assuring that borrowers 
are aware of rights and responsibilities that schools know the history 
and status of each loan account that schools pursue aggressive 
collection efforts to reduce default rates, and that they maintain 
adequate records for audit and assessment purposes. Schools are free to 
use improved information technology to manage the information required 
by the regulations.
    The burden estimates are as follows:

                                                               Recordkeeping Requirements
