Information Collection Request Title: Nurse Faculty Loan Program
Forms OMB No. 0915-0314--Revision.
Abstract: This clearance request seeks approval for the Nurse
Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) Forms. The forms included are the NFLP--
Program Specific Data Form, NFLP--Annual Performance Report (APR)
Financial Data Form, and the NFLP Due Diligence Form. They are
currently approved under OMB Approval No. 0915-0314, with the
expiration date of August 31, 2026. For greater clarity and
consistency, the only change to this information collection request is
to change the title from the ``Nurse Faculty Loan Program--Program
Specific Data Form, Annual Performance Report Financial Data Form, and
NFLP Due Diligence Form'' to the ``Nurse Faculty Loan Program Forms.''
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Section 846A of the
Public Health Service Act provides the Secretary of HHS with the
authority to provide grants to accredited schools of nursing for the
establishment and operation of student loan funds to increase the
number of qualified nurse faculty. HRSA makes awards to accredited
schools of nursing and the schools provide loans to students enrolled
in advanced education nursing degree programs who are committed to
becoming nurse faculty. Following graduation from the NFLP grant
recipient school, NFLP borrowers may receive up to 85 percent of loan
cancellation over a 4-year period in exchange for service as full-time
faculty at a school of nursing. The NFLP grant recipient school
collects any portion of the loan that is not cancelled and any loans
that go into repayment and deposits these monies into the NFLP loan
fund to make additional NFLP loans.
The NFLP--Program Specific Data Form is a required electronic
attachment within the NFLP application materials. The data provided in
the form is an essential component of the formula-based criteria used
to determine the amount awarded to the applicant schools. The form
collects application-related data from applicants such as the amount
requested, number of students to be funded, tuition information, and
projected unused loan fund balance. This data collection assists HRSA
in streamlining the application submission process, enabling an
efficient award determination process, and facilitating reporting on
the use of funds and analysis of program outcomes. There are no changes
to this form.
The NFLP--APR Financial Data Form is an online form that collects
outcome and financial data to capture the NFLP loan fund account
activity related to financial receivables, disbursements, and borrower
account data related to employment status, loan cancellation, loan
repayment and collections. NFLP grant recipient schools will provide
HHS 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.
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 a specified reporting period
(July 1 through June 30 of the academic year). NFLP grant recipient
schools are required to complete and submit the NFLP--APR Financial
Data Form annually. The data provided in the form is essential for HRSA
to effectively monitor the school's use of NFLP funds in accordance
with the statute and program guidelines. There are no changes to this
form.
The NFLP Due Diligence Form is a required form that is completed
and submitted electronically by NFLP grant recipient schools. This form
indicates that due diligence has been exercised in the cancellation of
any remaining loan funds for NFLP borrowers due to permanent/total
disability, death, and uncollectible/bad debt write-offs. The data
collected on the due diligence form will include the student borrower's
unique ID number, reason for cancellation, the amount of principal
loaned, the total amount of principal loan funds and corresponding
interest canceled, and the outstanding amount of principal/interest
that would be canceled because of death or permanent disability or
written-off as uncollectible/bad debt. The NFLP Due Diligence Form is
essential for monitoring performance measure outcomes and to verify and
validate accuracy of information submitted on the NFLP Annual
Performance Reports. There have been no changes to this form.
Likely Respondents: NFLP grant recipient schools and applicants to
the NFLP program.
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
[[Page 44200]]
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
