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, email 
[email protected] or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer at (301) 
443-0165.
    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, know the history and status 
of each loan account in order to 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 estimated total burden is 49,487 hours. The burden estimates 
are as follows:
