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, email 
[email protected] or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 
443-1984.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995:

Proposed Project: The Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL) and 
Nursing Student Loan (NSL) Programs: Forms (OMB No. 0915-0044)--
[Revision]

    The HPSL Program provides long-term, low interest loans to students 
attending schools of medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, 
veterinary medicine, optometry, podiatric medicine, and pharmacy. The 
NSL Program provides long-term, low-interest loans to students who 
attend eligible schools of nursing in programs leading to a diploma in 
nursing, an associate degree, a baccalaureate degree, or graduate 
degree in nursing.
    Participating HPSL and NSL schools are responsible for determining 
the eligibility of applicants, making loans, and collecting monies owed 
by borrowers on their outstanding loans. The Deferment Form (Deferment-
HRSA Form 519) provides the schools with documentation of a borrower's 
eligibility for deferment. The Annual Operating Report (AOR-HRSA Form 
501) relates to HPSL and NSL program operations and financial 
activities, and provides the Federal Government with information from 
participating active schools, as well as schools that no longer grant 
loans, but are required to report and maintain program records, student 
records, and repayment records until all student loans are repaid in 
full and all monies due to the Federal Government are returned.
    The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
