Proposed Project: Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL) Program
and Nursing Student Loan (NSL) Program Administrative Requirements
(Regulations and Policy) (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
[[Page 23658]]
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 information technology to manage the
information required by the regulations. The estimated burden is as
follows:
Estimated total annual burden: 47,471 hours. There have been no
changes in the reporting requirements. The burden is reduced because
the number of schools participating in the programs has been reduced.
