NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program
OMB No. 0915–0140—Revision
Abstract: The NURSE Corps Loan
Repayment Program (NURSE Corps
LRP), formerly known as the Nursing
Education Loan Repayment Program
(NELRP), assists in the recruitment and
retention of professional Registered
Nurses (RNs), including advanced
practice RNs (i.e., nurse practitioners,
certified registered nurse anesthetists,
certified nurse-midwives, clinical nurse
specialists), dedicated to working at
eligible health care facilities with a
critical shortage of nurses (i.e., a Critical
Shortage Facility) or working as nurse
faculty in eligible, accredited schools of
nursing, by decreasing the financial
barriers associated with pursuing a
nursing profession. The NURSE Corps
LRP provides loan repayment assistance
to these nurses to repay a portion of
their qualifying educational loans in
exchange for full-time service at a
public or private nonprofit Critical
Shortage Facility or in an eligible,
accredited school of nursing.

this information collection is to obtain
information for NURSE Corps LRP
applicants and participants. The
information is used to consider an
applicant for a NURSE Corps LRP
contract award and to monitor a
participant’s compliance with the
service requirements. Individuals must
submit an application in order to
participate in the program. The
application asks for personal,
professional, educational, and financial
information required to determine the
applicant’s eligibility to participate in
the NURSE Corps LRP. The semi-annual
employment verification form asks for
personal and employment information
to determine if a participant is in
compliance with the service
requirements.
Likely Respondents: Professional RNs
or advanced practice RNs (i.e., nurse
practitioners, certified registered nurse
anesthetists, certified nurse-midwives,
clinical nurse specialists) who are
interested in participating in the NURSE
Corps LRP, and official representatives
at their service sites.
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

DATES:
OMB No. 0915–xxxx—New.
Abstract: The Office of Rural Health
Policy (ORHP), Health Resources and
Services Administration, conducts an
annual data collection of user
information for the Black Lung Program,
which has been ongoing with OMB
approval since 2004. The program
supports projects that seek to reduce the
morbidity and mortality associated with
occupationally-related coal mine dust
lung disease. Primary services provided
for active, inactive, disabled, and retired
coal miners include screening,
diagnosis, and treatment. Data collected
will provide information on patient
demographics, provision and quality of
services, and patient outcomes. This
data will help to ensure grantees are
meeting the overall program goals,
which include reducing the morbidity
of coal mine dust lung disease (CMDLD)
and secondary conditions; enhancing
access to quality services; and

increasing coordination among service
providers.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The various measures on
number of patients served in medical
and nonmedical encounters will ensure
that clinics are providing screening,
diagnosis, and treatment services as
well as compensation counseling. HRSA
will be able to determine the number of
new patients with an initial diagnosis of
lung disease as a result of coal mine
employment and the number of patients
initially eligible for benefits. Other
measures will account for secondary
conditions common to miners (e.g.,
cardiovascular disease) and the number
of insured (vs. uninsured patients). All
of this information will assist HRSA in
meeting congressional reporting
requirements under the Government
Reporting and Performance Act of 1993
and in ensuring the needs of the
nation’s coal miners are met.
Likely Respondents: Current and
prospective Black Lung Clinics Program
grantees.
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

information. The total annual burden
