Information Collection Request Title: Faculty Loan Repayment
Program OMB No. 0915-0150--Revision
Abstract: HRSA administers the Faculty Loan Repayment Program
(FLRP). FLRP provides health professionals from disadvantaged
backgrounds based on environmental and/or economic factors the
opportunity to enter into a contract with the Department of Health and
Human Services to receive repayment of qualifying educational loans in
exchange for a minimum of 2 years of service as a full-time or part-
time faculty member at an eligible health professions school. The
applicant completes and submits an electronic application that
identifies for the Secretary of Health and Human Services that the
applicant comes from an economically or environmentally disadvantaged
background who has a contract with an eligible health professions
school to serve as a full-time or part-time faculty member for a
minimum of 2 years and has qualifying outstanding educational loans. In
addition, for each undergraduate and/or graduate loan for which
repayment is sought, the applicant is required to submit loan
documentation verifying the establishment of the educational loan(s)
and lender account statements, promissory notes including the original
date, and current balance of the outstanding educational loan(s). The
sole change in this version of the ICR from previous ICR versions is
that there is an increase in the estimated burden hours related to an
increased number of respondents/applicants to the FLRP.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The information collected
will be used to evaluate applicants' eligibility to participate in the
FLRP and to monitor FLRP related activities.
Likely Respondents: FLRP applicants and institutions providing
employment to the applicants.
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 annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
