Title of Collection: Guaranty Agencies Security Self-assessment and
Attestation.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0134.
Type of Review: A 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).
