Information Collection Request Title:
Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP)—
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 form by
making the following changes:
• Line Item D will be renamed ‘‘D1.
NFLP Loan Fund Balance/Unused
Accumulation.’’
• Addition of Line Item D2 titled
‘‘NFLP Loan Fund Default Rate,’’
requesting information regarding the
status of an institution’s default rate.
• Addition of Line Item D3 titled
‘‘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
ADDRESSES:
formula-based criteria used to determine
the award amount to the applicant
schools. Continued approval of the
revised NFLP—Program Specific Data
Form allows HRSA to efficiently capture
data to generate the formula-based
award and facilitates reporting on the
use of funds and analysis of program
outcomes.
The 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, the 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.
Likely Respondents: NFLP eligible
applicants. This includes accredited
schools of nursing offering eligible
advanced masters and/or doctoral
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
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 burden for this revised form
has decreased by 480 hours due to an
estimated decrease in number of
respondents. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

SUMMARY:
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
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 as the Nurse Faculty
Loan Program, Annual Operating Report
(NFLP–AOR).
Section 846A of the Public Health
Service Act provides the Secretary of
HHS with the authority to enter into an
agreement with schools of nursing for
the establishment and operation of a
student loan fund to increase the
number of qualified nurse faculty.
Under the agreement, HRSA makes an
award to a participating school for the
NFLP loan fund, which must be
maintained in a distinct account. Each
school of nursing then makes loans from
the NFLP 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
prepares the students 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 the portion of
the loan that is not cancelled and any
loans that go into repayment due to
default and deposits these monies into
the NFLP loan fund to make additional
NFLP loans.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The NFLP–APR Financial
Data Form collects financial data online
through HRSA’s Electronic Handbooks
to capture the NFLP loan fund account
activity related to financial receivables,
disbursements, and borrower account
data regarding employment status, loan
cancellation, loan repayment, and
collections. Participating schools
provide HRSA 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 cancelled, (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.
Participating schools must keep records
of all NFLP loan fund transactions.
The revised NFLP–APR Financial
Data Form no longer includes nursing
student demographic data, which is
collected under another form (OMB
approval number 0915–0061). As a
result, the annual burden is estimated to
decrease by 440 hours. The information
requested from participating schools in
the revised NFLP–APR Financial Data
Form is not available from any other
source.
In accordance with statute and
program guidelines, the NFLP–APR
Financial Data Form is used to monitor
grantee performance by collecting
information related to the NFLP loan
fund operations and financial activities
for the July 1 through June 30 academic
year. Participating schools must submit
the NFLP–APR Financial Data Form
annually.
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 burden 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
summarized in the table below.

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 form by making the following

Addition of Line Item D2 titled ``NFLP Loan Fund Default
Rate,'' requesting information regarding the status of an institution's

Under Section B of instructions, ``other attachments''
will be updated to reflect the current list of NFLP Funding Opportunity

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The NFLP--Program
Specific Data Form is a required electronic attachment within the NFLP

applicant schools. Continued approval of the revised NFLP--Program
Specific Data Form allows HRSA to efficiently capture data to generate
the formula-based award and facilitates reporting on the use of funds
and analysis of program outcomes.
The 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, the 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.
Likely Respondents: NFLP eligible applicants. This includes
accredited schools of nursing offering eligible advanced masters and/or
doctoral 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 technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and

a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
