Proposed Project: Advanced Education
Nursing Traineeship (AENT) and Nurse
Anesthetist Traineeship (NAT) (OMB
No. 0915–0305): Revision
The Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) provides
training grants to educational
institutions to increase the numbers of
advanced education nurses through the
Advanced Education Nursing
Traineeship (AENT) program and the
Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship (NAT)
program.
HRSA developed the AENT and NAT
tables for the application guidances and
the Nurse Traineeship Database for the
two nursing traineeship programs. The
AENT and NAT tables are used
annually by grant applicants that are
applying for AENT and NAT funding.
The funds appropriated for the AENT
and NAT programs are distributed
among eligible institutions based on a
formula. Award amounts are based on
enrollment and graduate data reported
on the tables and two funding factors
(Statutory Funding Preference and
Statutory Special Consideration).
The AENT and NAT tables include
information on program participants
such as the number of enrollees,
projected data on enrollees and
graduates for the following academic
year, number of trainees supported,
number of graduates, number of
graduates supported and the types of
programs they are enrolling into and/or
from which they are graduating. AENT
and NAT applicants will have a single

Applications are submitted in two

These tables will be available
electronically through the HRSA
Electronic Handbooks (Phase 2) for
applicants to submit their AENT and/or
NAT grant application(s). The tables are
also used in the Nurse Traineeship
Database which is used by Division of
Nursing staff and not the applicants.
Data from the tables will be used in
the award determination and validation
process. Additionally, the data will be
used to ensure programmatic
compliance, report to Congress and
policymakers on the program
accomplishments, and formulate and
justify future budgets for these activities
submitted to OMB and Congress.

Periodically, the Health Resources

The following request has been
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for review under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:
Proposed Project: Enrollment and ReCertification of Entities in the 340B
Drug Pricing Program [NEW]
Section 602 of Public Law 102–585,
the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992,
enacted section 340B of the Public
Health Service Act (PHS Act)
‘‘Limitation on Prices of Drugs
Purchased by Covered Entities.’’ Section
340B provides that a manufacturer who
sells covered outpatient drugs to eligible
entities must sign a pharmaceutical
pricing agreement with the Secretary of
Health and Human Services in which
the manufacturer agrees to charge a
price for covered outpatient drugs that
will not exceed an amount determined
under a statutory formula.
Covered entities which choose to
participate in the section 340B Drug
Pricing Program must comply with the
requirements of 340B(a)(5) of the PHS
Act. Section 340B(a)(5)(A) prohibits a
covered entity from accepting a
discount for a drug that would also
PO 00000

generate a Medicaid rebate. Further,
section 340B(a)(5)(B) prohibits a
covered entity from reselling or
otherwise transferring a discounted drug
to a person who is not a patient of the
entity.
In response to the statutory mandate
of section 340B(a)(9) to notify
manufacturers of the identities of
covered entities and the mandate of
section 340B(a)(5)(A)(ii) to establish a
mechanism to ensure against duplicate
discounts and the ongoing
responsibility to administer the 340B
Drug Pricing Program while maintaining
efficiency, transparency and integrity,
the HRSA Office of Pharmacy Affairs
(OPA) developed a process of
registration of covered entities to enable
it to address those mandates.
Enrollment/Registration
To enroll and certify the eligible
federally funded grantees and other
safety net health care providers, OPA
requires entities to submit
administrative information (e.g.,
shipping and billing arrangements,
Medicaid participation), certifying
information and signatures from
appropriate grantee level or entity level
authorizing officials and State/local
government representatives. The
purpose of this registration information
