SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to 
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be 
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the 
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, 
including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.
    Title of Collection: U.S. Department of Education Pre-Authorized 
Debit Account Brochure and Application.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0025.
    Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,667.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 138.
    Abstract: The Pre-authorized Debit Account Brochure and Application 
(PDA Application) serves as the means by which an individual with a 
defaulted federal education debt (student loan or grant overpayment) 
that is held by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) requests and 
authorizes the automatic debiting of payments toward satisfaction of 
the debt from the borrower's checking or savings account. The PDA 
Application explains the automatic debiting process and collects the 
individual's authorization for the automatic debiting and the bank 
account information needed by ED to debit the individual's account.
