SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on September 5,
2023, vol. 88, No. 170; pp. 60693-94. There were no public comments.

will be used to evaluate applicants' eligibility to participate in the
FLRP and to monitor FLRP related activities.

employment to the applicants.
