reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's
information collection
[[Page 43017]]
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: Guaranty Agencies Security Self-assessment and
Attestation.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0134.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and
Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 19.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 6,954.
Abstract: This is a request for a revision of the approved
information collection used by Federal Student Aid (FSA) to ensure that
all data collected and managed by Guaranty Agencies (GAs) in support
federal student financial aid programs is secure. FSA continues to use
a formal assessment program that ensures the GAs have security
protocols in place to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data
entrusted to FSA by students and families. This assessment will
identify security deficiencies based on the federal standards described
in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
publications. The increasing number of hours is to account for the
revision from NIST 800-53 R4 to R5. There is an increase of the number
of controls that need to be assessed for each of the 19 GAs (~70
controls and 2 new control families).
