In compliance with the
requirement for opportunity for public
comment on proposed data collection
projects of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, HRSA announces plans to
submit an Information Collection
Request (ICR), described below, to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). Prior to submitting the ICR to
OMB, HRSA seeks comments from the
public regarding the burden estimate,
below, or any other aspect of the ICR.
DATES: Comments on this ICR should be
received no later than April 24, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to
paperwork@hrsa.gov or mail the HRSA
Information Collection Clearance
Officer, 14N39, 5600 Fishers Lane,

proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and draft

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When
submitting comments or requesting
information, please include the

Information Collection Request Title:
Nurse Faculty Loan Program, Annual
Performance Report Financial Data
Form, OMB No. 0915–0314—Revision.
Abstract: This collection request is for
continued approval of the Nurse Faculty
Loan Program’s revised Annual
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Performance Report (NFLP–APR)
Financial Data Form. The form was
previously titled as the Nurse Faculty
Loan Program, Annual Operating Report
(NFLP–AOR).
Section 846A of the Public Health
Service Act provides the Secretary of
HHS with the authority to enter into an
agreement with schools of nursing for
the establishment and operation of a
student loan fund to increase the
number of qualified nurse faculty.
Under the agreement, HRSA makes
awards to schools for the NFLP loan
fund, which must be maintained in a
distinct account. A school of nursing
makes loans from the NFLP account to
students enrolled full-time or, at the
discretion of the Secretary, part-time in
a master’s or doctoral nursing education
program that will prepare them to
become qualified nursing faculty.
Following graduation from the NFLP
lending school, loan recipients may
receive up to 85 percent NFLP loan
cancellation over a consecutive 4-year
period in exchange for service as fulltime faculty at a school of nursing. The
NFLP lending school collects any
portion of the loan that is not cancelled
and any loans that go into repayment
due to default, and deposits these
monies into the NFLP loan fund to make
additional NFLP loans.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The online NFLP–APR
Financial Data Form is an online form
in the HRSA Electronic Handbooks
(EHBs) Performance Report module as
part of the NFLP, Bureau of Health
Workforce performance report (OMB
No: 0915–0061, expiration date of 6/30/
2019). The revised NFLP–APR financial
data form will collect less data from
applicants and will no longer include
nursing student demographic data. The
nursing student demographic data is
currently collected under OMB approval
number No: 0915–0061. The revised
NFLP–APR form will only collect
financial data to capture the NFLP loan
fund account activity related to
financial receivables, disbursements,
and borrower account data related to
employment status, loan cancellation,
loan repayment, and collections.
Participating schools will provide HRSA
with current and cumulative
information on: (1) NFLP loan funds
received, (2) number and amount of
NFLP loans made, (3) number and
amount of loans cancelled, (4) number
and amount of loans in repayment, (5)
loan default rate percent, (6) number of
NFLP graduates employed as nurse
faculty, and (7) other related loan fund
costs and activities.
The school of nursing must keep
records of all NFLP loan fund
E:\FR\FM\21FEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 33 / Tuesday, February 21, 2017 / Notices
transactions. The NFLP–APR financial
data form is used to monitor grantee
performance by collecting information
related to the NFLP loan fund
operations and financial activities for a
specified reporting period (July 1
through June 30 of the academic year).
Participating schools are required to
complete and submit the NFLP–APR
financial data form annually. The
revised NFLP–APR financial data form
will allow HRSA to better determine
future awards to nursing schools.
Likely Respondents: Participating
NFLP schools are required to adhere to
reporting requirements.
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.

proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the

0915–0378—Revision.
Abstract: This clearance request is for
continued approval of the Nurse Faculty
Loan Program (NFLP) revised Program
Specific Data Form. HRSA is
streamlining the data collection forms
by making the following changes:
• Line Item D will be renamed ‘‘D1.
NFLP Loan Fund Balance/Unused
Accumulation.’’
• Addition of Line Item D2 entitled
‘‘NFLP Loan Fund Default Rate,’’
PO 00000
Frm 00059

Sfmt 4703
requesting information regarding the
status of an institution’s default rate.
• Addition of Line Item D3 entitled
‘‘Last NFLP Student Loan Award,’’
requesting information regarding the
disbursement of NFLP loan funds
within the last 2 academic years.
• Line Item E2 Column Header will
be renamed ‘‘E.2 NFLP Enrollees
Information by Degree—New Students
Expected to Request NFLP Support.’’
• Under Section B of instructions,
‘‘other attachments’’ will be updated to
reflect the current list of NFLP Funding
Opportunity Announcement
attachments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The NFLP—Program
Specific Data Form is a required
electronic attachment within the NFLP
application materials. The data
provided in the form is essential for the
formula-based criteria used to determine
the award amount to the applicant
schools. Continued approval of the
revised NFLP—Program Specific Data
Form will allow HRSA to more
efficiently capture data to generate the
formula-based award.
Addition of Line Item D2, NFLP Loan
Fund Default Rate, will allow HRSA to
easily assess and consider an existing
performance standard for those
applicants with existing NFLP loan
accounts. Used in combination with an
existing NFLP institution’s self-reported
NFLP loan balance, addition of Line
Item D3, Last NFLP Student Loan
Award, will allow HRSA to assess the
loan fund activity (i.e., incidence of
loans to students) of an existing NFLP
institution applying for additional
funding.
