SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Advanced Education Nursing 
Traineeship (AENT) Program Application.
    OMB No.: 0915-xxxx--NEW
    Abstract: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) 
provides advanced education nursing training grants to educational 
institutions to increase the numbers of advanced education nurses 
through the AENT Program. The AENT Program is governed by Title VIII, 
Section 811(a)(2) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 
296j(a)(2)). This new request includes the Program Specific AENT 
Tables. The proposed AENT Tables will include data on the distribution 
of graduates from the organization who are working in rural, 
underserved, and public health settings, as well as the distribution of 
graduates who received traineeship support and are working in rural, 
underserved, and public health settings; and the number of projected 
students to receive traineeship support by their enrollment status 
(full-time or part-time), the degree program (master's, post-nursing 
master's certificate, or doctoral), and the specialty in which they are 
enrolled (nurse practitioner or nurse midwifery) by budget year one and 
by budget year two.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA will use this 
information gathered from the tables in determining the amount of 
traineeship support to be awarded per student, per institution, and to 
succinctly capture data for the number of projected students for 
determining eligibility for Special Consideration and Statutory Funding 
Preference.
    Likely Respondents: Eligible applicants are schools of nursing, 
nursing centers, academic health centers, state or local governments, 
and other public or private nonprofit entities determined appropriate 
by the Secretary that submit an application and are accredited for the 
provision of primary care nurse practitioner and nurse midwifery 
programs accredited by a national nurse education accrediting agency 
recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. The 
school must be located in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American 
Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Federated States of 
Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, or the Republic of 
Palau.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
