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 49,489 hours. The annualized burden
estimates are as follows:
