The following request has been submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995:

Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program: Lender's

Application for Insurance Claim on a HEAL Loan and Request for

Collection Assistance Under the HEAL Program (currently approved under

OMB Nos. 0915-0036 and 0915-0100)--Revision and Extension--This

clearance request is for extension of approval of two forms that were

previously approved by OMB under separate OMB numbers (shown above).

HEAL lenders use the Lender's Application for Insurance Claim to

request payment from the Federal Government for federally insured loans

lost due to borrowers' death, disability, bankruptcy, or default. The

Request for Collection Assistance form is used by HEAL lenders to

request federal assistance with the collection of delinquent payments

from HEAL borrowers. Minor changes were made to the Lender's

Application for Insurance Claim, to reduce burden and improve the

utility of the information. No substantive changes were made to the

Request for Collection Assistance form. The estimates of burden for the

two forms are as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
