The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title of Collection: Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program (VMLRP).

OMB Control Number: 0524-0050.

Expiration Date of Current Approval: 01/31/2026.

Type of Request: Notice of intent to extend and revise a currently approved information collection.

NIFA is requesting a three-year extension for the current collection entitled “Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program.”

NIFA is also proposing to update the VMLRP application forms to ensure that the requirements align with 7 U.S.C. 3151a and 7 CFR part 3431, relevant Executive Orders and OMB Guidance, as well as the latest VMLRP program policies.

Abstract: In December 2003, the National Veterinary Medical Service Act (NVMSA) was passed into law adding section 1415A to the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1997. This law established a new Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program (VMLRP) (7 U.S.C. 3151a) authorizing the Secretary of Agriculture to carry out a program of entering into agreements with veterinarians under which they agree to provide veterinary services in veterinarian shortage situations. The purpose of the program is to ensure an adequate supply of trained food animal veterinarians in shortage situations.

NIFA is requesting to extend and modify a currently approved information collection. NIFA will collect information from current VMLRP applicants and participants and from State Animal Health Officials. NIFA will use this information to assess the VMLRP program and to improve oversight of the program. NIFA proposes to revise all forms in the collection to align with the VMLRP requirements as found in 7 U.S.C. 3151a and 7 CFR part 3431, as well as relevant Executive Orders and OMB Guidance. NIFA also proposes to retire the Survey of Animal Health Officials Completing VMLRP Veterinary Shortage Nomination Form, Applicant Feedback Survey, Awardee Feedback Survey, Close Out Report, Post-Award Termination Survey and the Service Log.

Total Estimate of Burden: The estimated annual reporting burden for all VMLRP collection is as follows:

| Type of respondents | Number of
respondents | Estimated number of responses per
respondent | Estimated burden per response
(hours) | Estimated total annual burden on
respondents
(hours) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Applicants: | | | | |
| Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program Application | 200 | 1 | 12 | 2,400 |
| Applicants subtotal | | | | 2,400 |
| State Animal Health Officials: | | | | |
| Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program Shortage Situation Nomination (NIFA 2009-0001) | 60 | 4 | 2 | 480 |
| ( printed page 31601) | | | | |
| State Animal Health Officials subtotal | | | | 480 |
| Active Participants: | | | | |
| Service Verification Form | 300 | 4 | .25 | 300 |

| Active Participant subtotal | | | | 1,500 |
| Grand Total | | | | 4,380 |
Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request to OMB for approval. All comments will become a matter of public record.
