SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP)—
Annual Performance Report Financial
Data Form.
OMB No.: 0915–0314—Revision.
Abstract: This clearance request is for
approval of a revision to the Nurse
Faculty Loan Program, Annual
Performance Report (NFLP–APR)
Financial Data Form. The form was
previously titled 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, BHPr
performance report under OMB
Approval No: 0915–0061, expiration
date: June 30, 2016. The revised NFLP–
APR Financial Data Form will collect
less data from applicants and will no
longer include nursing student
demographic data that was previously
included. The nursing student
demographic data is currently collected
under OMB Approval No: 0915–0149.
The revised NFLP–APR Financial Data
Form will only collect financial data to
capture the NFLP loan fund account
activity related to financial receivables,
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
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 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
fund operations and financial activities
for a specified reporting period (July 1
through June 30, of the academic year).
Participating schools are required to
complete and submit the NFLP–APR
Financial Data Form semi-annually. The
data provided in the form are essential
for HRSA to effectively monitor the
school’s use of NFLP funds in
accordance with program guidelines.
Approval of the revised NFLP–APR
Financial Data Form will facilitate our
current effort to determine future
awards to the school.
The electronic data collection
capability will streamline the report
submission process, enable an efficient
annual performance review process, and
serve as a data repository to facilitate
reporting on the use of funds and
analysis of program outcomes.
Likely Respondents: Participating
NFLP schools are required to adhere to
reporting requirements.
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
hours estimated for this ICR are

OMB No.: 0915–0342—Extension.
Abstract: The Teaching Health Center
Graduate Medical Education (THCGME)
program, Section 340H of the Public

DATES:
Law 111–148. The program supports
training for primary care residents
(including residents in family medicine,

compensate for the additional expenses
of training residents in such programs.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: THCGME payments are
prospective payments, and the statute
provides for a reconciliation process
through which overpayments may be
recouped and underpayments may be
adjusted at the end of the fiscal year.
This data collection instrument will
gather information relating to the
numbers of residents in THCGME
training programs in order to reconcile
payments for both direct and indirect
expenses.
Likely Respondents: The likely
responders to the THCGME
Reconciliation Tool are existing
THCGME awardees.
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
