Information Collection Request Title:
Nurse Faculty Loan Program, Annual
Performance Report Financial Data
Form
OMB No. 0915–0314—REVISION
Abstract: This clearance request is for
approval of the revised Nurse Faculty
Loan Program, Annual Performance
Report (NFLP–APR) Financial Data
Form. The form is currently approved
under OMB Approval No: 0915–0314,
with an expiration date of March 31,
2014. The form was previously titled as
the Nurse Faculty Loan Program,
Annual Operating Report (NFLP–AOR).
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The online NFLP–APR
Financial Data Form is an online form
that exists in the HRSA Electronic
Handbooks (EHBs) Performance Report
module as part of the NFLP, Bureau of
Health Professions performance report
under OMB Approval No: 0915–0061,
with an expiration date of June 30, 2016.

disbursements, and borrower account
data for employment status, loan
cancellation, loan repayment, and
collections. Participating schools will
provide the federal government 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
collected, (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.
Under Title VIII, section 846A of the
Public Health Service Act, as amended
by Public Law 111–148, the Secretary of
the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) enters into an agreement
with a school of nursing and makes an
award to the school. The award is used
to establish a distinct account for the
NFLP loan fund at the school. The
school of nursing makes loans from the
NFLP loan fund 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 full-time 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 and deposits these
monies into the NFLP loan fund to make
additional NFLP loans.
The school of nursing must keep
records of all NFLP loan fund
transactions. The NFLP–APR financial
data form is used to monitor grantee
performance by collection of
information relating to the NFLP loan
