Title 44, United
[[Page 64976]]
States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L.

Reduction Act of 1995. To request more information on the proposed
project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and draft
instruments, call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-1129.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,

Proposed Project: The Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program
Regulations (OMB No. 0915-0108) Extension
The Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program has regulations
that contain notification, reporting and recordkeeping requirements to
insure that the lenders, holders and schools participating in the HEAL
program follow sound management procedures in the administration of
federally-insured student loans. While the regulatory requirements are
approved under the OMB number referenced above, much of the burden
associated with the regulations is cleared under separate OMB numbers
for the HEAL forms and electronic submissions used to report required
information. The table below provides the estimate of burden for the
remaining regulations.
The estimates of burden are as follows:
