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: Income Driven Repayment Plan Request for the
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loans and Federal Family Education Loan
Programs.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0102.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 6,090,000.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,009,700.
Abstract: The Department is requesting an extension of the current
information collection. The Department files this request with the same
total annual number of respondents for this renewal collection as was
used in the prior filing. Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
and the suspension of the collection of loans, the Department lacks
sufficient data to allow for more accurate updates to the usage of
these forms. There has been no change in the underlying statutes or
regulations which support these request forms.
