HRSA Seeks OMB Review of ANE and National Practitioner Data Bank Information Collections

HRSA is seeking OMB review of revisions to information collections supporting advanced nursing education grants and the National Practitioner Data Bank. - Government buyer: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA); no specific office is identified. - Information collections: - Advanced Nursing Education (ANE) Program Specific Form, OMB No. 0906-0089, used by current ANE awardees and new applicants. Proposed revisions combine graduate counts for three funding-preference settings into one row and retain full-time and part-time reporting columns for Nurse Midwife and Nurse Anesthetist trainees. The annual burden table lists 345 respondents/responses and 2,415 burden hours. - National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) regulations and forms, OMB No. 0906-0081. Revisions update burden estimates and text and remove the Account Balance Transfer Request form; reporting and querying are conducted electronically. - Products, quantities, OEMs, and vendors: No products or product quantities are requested. No OEMs or commercial vendors are named; this is an information-collection notice, not a procurement.

Description

HRSA submitted a revision to its Advanced Nursing Education (ANE) Program Specific Form information collection request to OMB for review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The form supports HRSA’s administration of advanced nursing education grants and collection of data used to target funding and assess program impact. The revision proposes combining the graduates/program completers reported across three funding preference settings into one row; HRSA also states that a previously proposed removal of part-time columns will be retracted. Comments are due no later than November 23, 2026.
