Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request

Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a
copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)-443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:

Proposed Project: The Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL)
Program: Refinancing Loan Application/Promissory Note; New--

The HEAL program provides federally-insured loans to students in
schools of allopathic medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry,
veterinary medicine, optometry, podiatric medicine, pharmacy, public
health, chiropractic, or allied health, and graduate students in health
administration or clinical psychology. Eligible lenders, such as banks,
State agencies, and HEAL schools, make HEAL loans which are insured by
the Federal Government against loss due to the borrower's death,
disability, bankruptcy, and default. The basic purpose of the program
is to assure the availability of funds for loans to eligible students
who need to borrow money to pay for their educational costs.
A new combined HEAL refinancing loan application/promissory note
has been developed for lenders. Previously, the standard HEAL student
application form (HRSA-700) and promissory note (HRSA 500-3) were used
by lenders to process the loan refinancing. The application contained
items that were not needed for refinancing loans, and the Department
has since developed an official combined form.
Estimates of annualized reporting burden are as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Responses per Total Hours per Total burden
Type of respondent respondents respondent responses response hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Applicants...................... 2,800 1 2,800 12 560
Lenders......................... 9 311 2,800 30 1,400
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total....................... 2,809 .............. 5,600 .............. 1,960
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to:
Wendy A. Taylor, Human Resources and Housing Branch, Office of
Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235,
Washington, D.C. 20503.

Dated: September 16, 1998.
Jane Harrison,
Director, Division of Policy Review and Coordination.
