collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Proposed Project: The Health Education
Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program:
Physician’s Certification of Borrower’s
Total and Permanent Disability Form
(OMB No. 0915–0204): Extension
The Health Education Assistance
Loan (HEAL) program provided
federally-insured loans to students of
allopathic medicine, osteopathic
medicine, dentistry, veterinary
medicine, optometry, podiatric
medicine, pharmacy, public health,
allied health, or chiropractic, and
graduate students in health
administration or clinical psychology
through September 30, 1998. Eligible
lenders, such as banks, savings and loan
associations, credit unions, pension
funds, State agencies, HEAL schools,
and insurance companies, make new
refinanced HEAL loans which are
insured by the Federal Government
against loss due to borrower’s death,
disability, bankruptcy, and default. The
basic purpose of the program was to
assure the availability of funds for loans
to eligible students who needed to
borrow money to pay for their
educational loans. Currently, the
program monitors the federal liability,
and assists in default prevention
activities.
The HEAL borrower, the borrower’s
physician, and the holder of the loan
complete the Physician’s Certification
form to certify that the HEAL borrower
meets the total and permanent disability
provisions. The Department uses this
form to obtain detailed information

per

about disability claims which includes
the following: (1) The borrower’s
consent to release medical records to the
Department of Health and Human
Services and to the holder of the
borrower’s HEAL loans; (2) pertinent
information supplied by the certifying
physician; (3) the physician’s
certification that the borrower is unable
to engage in any substantial gainful
activity because of a medically
determinable impairment that is
expected to continue for a long and
indefinite period of time or to result in
death; and, (4) information from the
lender on the unpaid balance. Failure to
submit the required documentation will
result in disapproval of a disability
claim. No changes have been made to
the current form.

Physician’s Certification form is as

The AIDS Education and Training
Centers (AETC) Program, under the
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment
Modernization Act of 2006, supports a
network of regional and cross-cutting
national centers that conduct targeted,
multi-disciplinary education and
training programs for health care
providers treating persons with HIV/
AIDS. The purpose of the AETCs is to
increase the number of health care
providers who are effectively educated
and motivated to counsel, diagnose,
treat, and medically manage individuals
with HIV infection, and to help prevent
high risk behaviors that lead to HIV
transmission.
As part of an ongoing evaluation effort
of AETC activities, information is
needed on AETC training sessions,
consultations, and technical assistance

activities. Each regional center collects
forms on AETC training events, and
centers are required to report aggregate
data on their activities to HRSA and the
HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB). This data
collection provides information on the
number of training events, including
clinical trainings and consultations, as
well as technical assistance activities
conducted by each regional center, the
number of health care providers
receiving professional training or
consultation, and the time and effort
expended on different levels of training
and consultation activities. In addition,
information is obtained on the
populations served by the AETC
trainees, and the increase in capacity
achieved through training events.
Collection of this information allows
HRSA/HAB to provide information on
training activities, types of education,
and training provided to Ryan White
CARE Act grantees, resource allocation,
and capacity expansion.
Trainees are asked to complete the
Participant Information Form (PIF) for
each activity they complete, and trainers
are asked to complete the Event Record
(ER). The estimated annual response
burden to the attendees of training
programs is as follows:
