Information Collection Request Title:
Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program
(Nurse Corps LRP), OMB No. 0915–
0140—Extension.
Abstract: The Nurse Corps LRP assists
in the recruitment and retention of
professional Registered Nurses (RNs),
including Advanced Practice Registered
Nurses (APRNs), by decreasing the
financial barriers associated with
pursuing a nursing education. RNs in
this instance include APRNs (e.g., nurse
practitioners, certified registered nurse
anesthetists, certified nurse-midwives,
and clinical nurse specialists) dedicated
to working at eligible health care
facilities with a critical shortage of
nurses (i.e., a Critical Shortage Facility)
or working as nurse faculty in eligible,
accredited schools of nursing. The
Nurse Corps LRP provides loan
repayment assistance to these nurses to
repay a portion of their qualifying
educational loans in exchange for fulltime service at a public or private
Critical Shortage Facility or in an
eligible, accredited school of nursing.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Individuals must submit
an application in order to participate in
the program. The application asks for
personal, professional, educational, and
financial information required to
determine the applicant’s eligibility to
participate in the Nurse Corps LRP. This
information collection is used by the
Nurse Corps program to make award
decisions about Nurse Corps LRP
applicants and to monitor a
participant’s compliance with the
program’s service requirements. The
Nurse Corps LRP is requesting an
extension and is seeking to use the
previously approved forms.
Likely Respondents: Professional RNs
or APRNs who are interested in
participating in the Nurse Corps LRP,
and official representatives at their
service sites.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
