Request (ICR), described below, to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). Prior to submitting the ICR to
OMB, HRSA seeks comments from the
public regarding the burden estimate,
below, or any other aspect of the ICR.
DATES: Comments on this ICR should be
received no later than April 24, 2017.

Officer, 14N39, 5600 Fishers Lane,

Information Collection Request Title:
Nurse Faculty Loan Program—Revised
Program Specific Data Form, OMB No.
0915–0378—Revision.
Abstract: This clearance request is for
continued approval of the Nurse Faculty
Loan Program (NFLP) revised Program
Specific Data Form. HRSA is
streamlining the data collection forms
by making the following changes:
• Line Item D will be renamed ‘‘D1.
NFLP Loan Fund Balance/Unused
Accumulation.’’
• Addition of Line Item D2 entitled
‘‘NFLP Loan Fund Default Rate,’’
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
requesting information regarding the
status of an institution’s default rate.
• Addition of Line Item D3 entitled
‘‘Last NFLP Student Loan Award,’’
requesting information regarding the
disbursement of NFLP loan funds
within the last 2 academic years.
• Line Item E2 Column Header will
be renamed ‘‘E.2 NFLP Enrollees
Information by Degree—New Students
Expected to Request NFLP Support.’’
• Under Section B of instructions,
‘‘other attachments’’ will be updated to
reflect the current list of NFLP Funding
Opportunity Announcement
attachments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The NFLP—Program
Specific Data Form is a required
electronic attachment within the NFLP
application materials. The data
provided in the form is essential for the
formula-based criteria used to determine
the award amount to the applicant
schools. Continued approval of the
revised NFLP—Program Specific Data
Form will allow HRSA to more
efficiently capture data to generate the
formula-based award.
Addition of Line Item D2, NFLP Loan
Fund Default Rate, will allow HRSA to
easily assess and consider an existing
performance standard for those
applicants with existing NFLP loan
accounts. Used in combination with an
existing NFLP institution’s self-reported
NFLP loan balance, addition of Line
Item D3, Last NFLP Student Loan
Award, will allow HRSA to assess the
loan fund activity (i.e., incidence of
loans to students) of an existing NFLP
institution applying for additional
funding.

This data collection enables an
efficient award determination process,

funds and analysis of program
outcomes.
Likely Respondents: NFLP eligible
applicants. This includes accredited
schools of nursing offering eligible

degree nursing education programs that
will prepare students to serve as
qualified nursing faculty.
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

Information Collection Request Title:
Questionnaire and Data Collection
Testing, Evaluation, and Research for
the Health Resources and Services
Administration, OMB No. 0915–0379—
Extension.
Abstract: The purpose of collections
under this generic clearance is to obtain
formative information from respondents
to develop new questions,
questionnaires, and tools and to identify
problems in instruments currently in
use. This clearance request is limited to
formative research activities
emphasizing data collection, toolkit
development, and estimation
procedures and reports for internal
decision-making and development
purposes and does not extend to the
collection of data for public release or
policy formation. It is anticipated that
these studies will rely heavily on
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
qualitative techniques to meet their
objective. In general, these activities are
not designed to yield results that meet
generally accepted standards of
statistical rigor but are designed to
obtain valuable formative information to
develop more effective and efficient
data collection tools that will yield more
accurate results and decrease nonresponse.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA conducts cognitive
interviews, focus groups, usability tests,
field tests/pilot interviews, and
experimental research in laboratory and
field settings, both for applied
questionnaire development and for
evaluation as well as more basic
research on response errors in surveys.
HRSA staff use various techniques to
evaluate interviewer administered, selfadministered, telephone, Computer
Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI),
Computer Assisted Self-Interviewing
(CASI), Audio Computer-Assisted SelfInterviewing (ACASI), and web-based
questionnaires.
Professionally recognized procedures
are followed in each information
collection activity to ensure high quality
data. Examples of these procedures
could include the following:
• Monitoring by supervisory staff of a
certain percent of telephone interviews;
• Conducting cognitive interviewing
techniques, including think-aloud
techniques and debriefings;
• Data-entry from mail or paper-andpencil surveys will be computerized
through scannable forms or checked
through double-key entry;
• Observers will monitor focus
groups, and focus group proceedings
will be recorded; and
• Data submitted through on-line
surveys will be subjected to statistical
