Proposed Project: Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL) Program and 
Nursing Student Loan (NSL) Program Administrative Requirements 
(Regulations and Policy) (OMB No. 0915-0047)--Revision

    The regulations for the Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL) 
Program and Nursing Student Loan (NSL) Program contain a number of 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements for schools and loan 
applicants. The requirements are essential for assuring that borrowers 
are aware of rights and responsibilities, that schools know the history 
and status of each loan account, that schools pursue aggressive 
collection efforts to reduce default rates, and that they maintain 
adequate records for audit and assessment purposes. Schools are free to 
use improved information technology to manage the information required 
by the regulations.
    The estimated total annual burden is 34,558 hours. The burden 
estimates are as follows:
