Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 27 / Thursday, February 11, 2021 / Notices
Administrative Requirements. The form was previously titled as the HPSL
Program and NSL Program Administrative Requirements Regulations and Policy. This request seeks to add LDS and PCL as the forms discussed in this notice are also used for these programs.
The HPSL Program, as authorized by Public Health Service PHS Act sections 721722 and 725735, provides long-term, low-interest loans to students attending schools of medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, podiatric medicine, and pharmacy. The LDS Program, as authorized by PHS Act sections 721722 and 724735, provides long-term, low interest loans to students attending schools of allopathic medicine, osteopathic medicine, podiatric medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine. The PCL Program, as authorized by PHS Act sections 721723
and 725735, provides long-term, low interest loans to students attending schools of allopathic medicine and osteopathic medicine to practice primary health care. The NSL Program, as authorized by PHS Act sections 835
842, provides long-term, low-interest loans to students who attend eligible schools of nursing in programs leading to a diploma degree, an associate degree, a baccalaureate degree, or a graduate degree in nursing. These programs also have a number of recordkeeping and reporting requirements for academic institutions and loan applicants. The applicable requirements for these programs are outlined in 42 CFR
57.201218 and 57.301318. HRSA
proposes revisions to the Annual Operating Report AOR-HRSA Form 501 completed by institutions participating in the HPSL, LDS, PCL, and NSL programs to obtain additional information about those institutions and their student borrowers.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on December 14, 2020, vol. 85, No. 240; pp. 8079193. There were no public comments.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Participating HPSL, LDS, PCL, and NSL schools are responsible for determining eligibility of applicants, making loans, and collecting monies owed by borrowers on their outstanding loans. Participating schools include schools that are no longer disbursing loans but are required to report and maintain program records, student records, and repayment records until all student loans are repaid in full and all monies due to the federal government are returned. The Deferment Form HRSA Form 519, provides the schools with documentation of a borrowers deferment status, as detailed for the HPSL program under 42 CFR 57.210 and for NSL under 42 CFR 57.310, and is included without revision.
The AORHRSA Form 501 provides HHS with information from participating schools relating to HPSL, LDS, PCL and NSL program operations and financial activities. The proposed revisions to the AOR include the addition of a part-time option to select questions to allow institutions to report data on their part-time students, who are eligible to receive funding through the NSL program.
Specifically, the part-time option will be added to the following questions for the NHL program:
Question 3, page 1A of the non-PCL
section of the AOR total full-time enrollment for the Nursing discipline for the academic yearNSL loan recipients, Question 13 total number of full time graduatesNSL loan recipients at the school during the current reporting period, Question 14 total number of full time NSL graduatesNSL loan recipients during the current reporting period who indicate intent to serve in a rural area, Question 15b of the total graduates reported in question 15a, the number of full-time NSL graduatesNSL loan recipients in academic year 20XX20XX
serving in medically underserved communities,
Question 15c of the total graduates reported in question 15a, the number of Full-Time NSL graduatesNSL loan recipients in academic year 20XX
20XX serving in primary care, and Question 15d of the total graduates in question 15a, the number of full-time NSL graduatesNSL loan recipients in Academic Year 20XX20XX who entered the field for which they received their degree.
HRSA also proposes to revise the AORHRSA Form 501 form to include four additional questions at the bottom of Page 1A of all AORs:
16a. Are you a Community College?
16b. Are you a Historically Black College or University?
16c. Are you a Tribal college or university? and 16d. Are you an institution located in a rural area?
In addition, HRSA proposes to revise Page 4 the excess cash worksheet of the AORHRSA Form 501 form to limit the grantees ability to make projections to 1 year. This proposed revision will allow HRSA to improve the overall management of funding.
Likely Respondents: Institutions participating in the HPSL, LDS, PCL, and/or NSL Programs.
