Proposed Project: Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program: Lender's Application for Insurance Claim Form and Request for Collection Assistance Form (OMB No. 0915-0036)-Extension
The HEAL program ensures the availability of funds for loans to eligible students who desire to borrow money to pay for their educational costs. The HEAL lenders use the Lenders Application for Insurance Claim to request payment from the Federal Government for federally insured loans lost due to borrowers death, disability, bankruptcy, or default. The Request for Collection Assistance form is used by HEAL lenders to request federal assistance with the collection of delinquent payments from HEAL borrowers.
The burden estimates are as follows:
| Form | Number of respondents | Responses per respondent | Total responses | Hours per response (minutes) | Total burden hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lender's Application for Insurance Claim | 20 | 75 | 1,500 | 30 | 750 |
| Request for Collection Assistance | 20 | 1,260 | 25,200 | 10 | 4,208 |
| Total Burden | 20 | 4,958 |
Send comments to Susan G. Queen, Ph.D., HRSA Reports Clearance Officer, Room 11-05, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857. Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice.
