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 (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

    The Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) program continues to 
administer and monitor outstanding

[[Page 57550]]

loans which were provided to eligible students to pay for educational 
costs in a number of health professions. HEAL forms collect information 
that is required for responsible program management. The HEAL Repayment 
Schedule, Fixed and Variable, provides the borrower with the cost of a 
HEAL loan, the number and amount of 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 and total number of loans 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 is as follows:
