SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Advanced Nursing Education Workforce
Program-Specific Data Collection Forms,
OMB No. 0915–0375 Extension.
Abstract: HRSA provides advanced
education nursing training grants to
educational institutions to increase the
numbers of advanced education nurses
through the Advanced Nursing
Education Workforce (ANEW) Program.
The ANEW Program is authorized by
Section 811 of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 296j), as amended. This
request is to extend the use of ANEW
Program Specific forms, specifically
Tables #1 and #2. There are no proposed
changes to these tables. ANEW Table #1
collects information on the types of
practice settings where graduates, who
received ANEW support as students, are
currently employed. The data on
graduates’ employment practice settings
demonstrate the distribution of
specialties, i.e., nurse practitioners,
clinical nurse specialists and nurse
midwives, who are practicing in rural,
underserved, public health nursing, and
Health Professional Shortage Areas
(HPSA) practice settings. ANEW Table
#2 requests information on the projected
number of primary care advanced
practice registered nursing student
enrollees/trainees who will receive
traineeship support for each upcoming
budget year over the entire project
period. This data provides a baseline for
comparison to data collected on the
numbers of students/enrollees/trainees
supported that are reported on the
Annual Performance Reports.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on January 22, 2020,
vol. 85, No. 14; pp. 3697–3698. There
were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: ANEW Program-Specific

applicant who received HRSA support
and are currently employed in rural
areas, undeserved areas, public health
nursing, and HPSA practice settings.
The graduate data collected measure the
impact of the ANEW Program in
meeting the legislative and program
goals. ANEW Program-Specific Table #2
collects information on the projected
number of students/enrollees to receive
traineeship support each budget year of
the project period and provides a
baseline for student/enrollee support
that is reported in the Annual
Performance Reports. Collecting this
data assists HRSA in carrying out the
most impactful program and ensuring
resources are used responsibly.
Likely Respondents: Likely
respondents will be current ANEW
awardees, who will submit the data
tables as part of a Noncompeting
Continuation progress report, and
applicants for the ANEW program,
including schools of nursing, nursing
centers, academic health centers, state
or local governments, and other public
or private nonprofit entities determined
appropriate by the Secretary that are
accredited to carry out primary care
nurse practitioner and nurse midwifery
programs by a national nurse education
accrediting agency recognized by the
Secretary of the U.S. Department of
Education. The school must be located
in one of the 50 U.S. States, the District
of Columbia, Guam, the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana
Islands, the Virgin Islands, American
Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the
Federated States of Micronesia, the
Republic of the Marshall Islands, or the
Republic of Palau.
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

personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
