accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the

including through the use of information technology. Please note that

    Abstract: Section 525 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 
2014 transferred the collection of HEAL program loans from the U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the U.S. Department of 
Education (Department). The pertinent information collections were 
transferred from HHS to the Department and the forms were updated with 
new contact information and numbers. This is a request for an extension 
of the information collection for forms HEAL 502-1 and 502-2, HEAL 
repayment schedules and form HEAL 512, Holder's Report on HEAL program 
loans. The forms 502-1 and 502-2 provide the borrowers with any updated 
repayment schedule including the cost of the loan, number and amount of 
payments with Truth-in-Lending disclosures. The form 512 is prepared 
quarterly and provides information on the status of outstanding loans 
such as the number of borrowers by stage of loan life-cycle, repayment 
status and the corresponding dollars.
