Abstract: The Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) Program regulatory requirements for reporting, recordkeeping, and notification are approved under OMB No.0915-0108. The HEAL program provided federally insured loans to students in schools for certain health professions. These reporting, notification, and recordkeeping requirements insure that the lenders, holders, and schools participating in the HEAL program follow sound management procedures in the administration of Federally-insured student loans. The basic purpose of the program was to assure the availablity of funds for loans to eligible students who needed to borrow money to pay for their educational costs.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There is a program adjustment resulting in a decrease in the number of hours required for the HEAL regulations. Authorization to fund new loans ended in 1998, so all remaining burden is associated with recordkeeping, reporting, and notification requirements for remaining loans. As the number of outstanding loans decreases, the burden requirements will continue to decrease.
