Title of Collection: Borrower Defenses Against Loan Repayment.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0132.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 150,000.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 150,000.
Abstract: This is a request for an extension of the current
information collection for Form 1845-0132. The U.S. Department of
Education (ED) continues to require the collection of this information
from borrowers who believe they have cause to request the borrower
defense to loan repayment forgiveness of a student loan as noted in
regulation in 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA)
(Sec. 455(h)). This burden continues to be necessary to ensure Heald,
Everest and/or WyoTech College borrowers who wish to invoke the
borrower defense against repayment of federal student loans can do so
in a uniform and informed manner.
