    Abstract: The Department of Education (the Department) is seeking 
an revision of the OMB approval of a Third Party Servicer Data Form. 
This form collects information from third party servicers. This form is 
used to validate the information reported to the Department by higher 
education institutions about the third party servicers that administer 
one or more aspects of the administration of the Title IV, HEA programs 
on an institution's behalf. This form also collects additional 
information required for effective oversight of these entities. This is 
a request for the revision of information collection 1845-0130. The 
Department is transitioning the current Third-Party Servicer Data 
Inquiry form to an electronic webform that will be housed within the 
FSA Partner Connect system. While some existing questions have been 
revised and additional questions have been added to the webform, there 
has been no change to the supporting regulatory language.
