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 
1995:

Proposed Project: Advanced Education Nursing Traineeship (AENT) and 
Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship (NAT): In Use Without Approval

    The Health Resources and Services and Administration (HRSA) 
provides training grants to educational institutions to increase the 
numbers of advanced education nurses through the Advanced Education 
Nursing Traineeship (AENT) program and the Nurse Anesthetist 
Traineeship (NAT) program.
    HRSA developed the AENT and NAT tables for the guidance 
applications for the two nursing traineeship programs. The AENT and NAT 
tables are used annually by grant applicants that are applying for AENT 
and NAT funding. The funds appropriated for the AENT and NAT programs 
are distributed among eligible institutions based on a formula. Award 
amounts are based on enrollment and graduate data reported on the 
tables and two funding factors (Statutory Funding Preference and 
Statutory Special Consideration) to those institutions which the 
criteria for one or both of the funding factors.
    The AENT/NAT tables include information on program participants 
such as the number of enrollees, number of graduates and the types of 
programs they are enrolling into and/or from which they are graduating. 
These tables will be available electronically through Grants.gov. AENT 
and NAT applicants will have a single access point to submit their 
grant applications and AENT/NAT Traineeship tables.
    Data from the tables will be used in the award determination and 
validation process. Additionally, the data will be used to ensure 
programmatic compliance, report to Congress and policymakers on the 
program accomplishments, and formulate and justify future budgets for 
these activities submitted to OMB and Congress.
    The burden estimate for this project is as follows:
