Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects
being developed for submission to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To request more
information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and draft instruments, email [email protected] or
call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer at (301) 443-1984.
Comments are invited on: (a) The proposed collection of information
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency; (b) the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,

Proposed Project: The Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program:
Forms (OMB No. 0915-0043)--Extension
The Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) program continues to
administer and monitor outstanding loans which were provided to
eligible students to pay for educational costs in a number of health
professions. HEAL forms collect information that is required for
responsible program management. The HEAL Repayment Schedule, Fixed and
Variable, provides the borrower with the cost of a HEAL loan, the
number and amount of payments, and the Truth-in-Lending disclosures.
The Lender's Report on HEAL Student Loans Outstanding (Call Report),
provides information on the status of loans outstanding by the number
of borrowers and total number of loans whose loan payments are in
various stages of the loan cycle, such as student education and
repayment, and
[[Page 56845]]
the corresponding dollar amounts. These forms are needed to provide
borrowers with information on the cost of their loan(s) and to
determine which lenders may have excessive delinquencies and defaulted
loans.
The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
