Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request 
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail 
paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 
443-1129.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995:

Proposed Project: Nurse Faculty Loan Program-Program Specific Data 
Form--In Use Without Approval

    The Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP)-Program Specific Form is for 
electronic submission of required data. This clearance request is for 
approval of the NFLP-Program Specific Data Form to collect the data 
required to make award determinations for eligible applicants.
    The Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) is authorized under Title 
VIII of the Public Health Service Act, Section 846A, as amended by the 
Nurse Reinvestment Act, Public Law 107-205 to increase the number of 
qualified nurse faculty. The HHS, acting through HRSA, may enter into 
an agreement with schools of nursing and make an award to establish and 
operate a distinct NFLP loan fund. The NFLP loan fund is used by the 
applicant school of nursing to make loans to eligible students pursuing 
an advanced nursing degree program that will prepare the student to 
become qualified as a nursing faculty.
    The NFLP-Program Specific Data Form will capture program-related 
information provided by the applicant. NFLP applicants will complete 
and submit the NFLP-Program Specific Data Form as an electronic 
attachment with the required application materials. The form will 
provide the Federal Government with specific data from the applicant 
which include: (1) The amount of the Federal funds requested by the 
applicant, (2) the expected contribution from the applicant, (3) the 
student enrollment and graduation data based on current and prospective 
NFLP loan recipients, (4) the graduate nursing education programs 
supported under NFLP, (5) the program accreditation status, (6) the 
current tuition and fee information for graduate nursing education 
programs, and (7) the projected NFLP loan fund balance that may be 
considered as part of the award determination. The data provided in the 
form are essential for the formula-based criteria used to determine the 
award amount to the applicant institutions.
    Approval of the new NFLP-Program Specific Data Form will facilitate 
our current effort to develop an automated data collection capability 
for the NFLP. The electronic data collection capability will streamline 
the application submission process, enable an efficient award 
determination process, and serve as a data repository to facilitate 
reporting on the use of funds and analysis of program outcomes. 
Additionally, the data will be used to ensure programmatic compliance 
with the legislative authority and program guidance, to report program 
accomplishments to policymakers and Congress, and to formulate and 
justify the appropriation request to the Office of Management and 
Budget and Congress.
    The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
