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: Student Assistance General Provisions--
Readmission for Servicemembers.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0095.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individual or Households; Private
Sector; State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,570.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,531.
Abstract: The Department of Education (the Department) is
requesting an extension without change of the current record keeping
information collection. Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic the
Department lacks sufficient data to allow for more accurate updates to
the usage of the form. There has been no change in either the statute
as provided by the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) or in
the regulations. The regulations identify the requirements under which
an institution must readmit servicemembers with the same academic
status they held at the institution when they last attended (or were
accepted for attendance). The regulations require institutions to
charge readmitted servicemembers, for the first academic year of their
return, the same institutional charges they were charged for the
academic year during which they left the institution (see section 484C
of the HEA).
