comments addressing the following issues: (1) is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this

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.

will be considered public record.
Title of Collection: Application to Participate in Federal Student
Financial Aid Programs (PEPS).
OMB Control Number: 1845-NEW.
Type of Review: New collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and
Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 7,286.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 24,352.
Abstract: The Department of Education (the Department) developed
the Application for Approval to Participate in the Federal Student
Financial Aid Programs to comply with statutory requirements of
collecting necessary information under the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended. This new collection is a request to continue use of
the version of the application that was last approved in 2019 under
1845-0012. That information collection is undergoing clearance to
reflect the revision of the information collection as the Department
transitions to an electronic webform housed on the FSA Partner Connect
system. The revision may not be ready for implementation by the current
form expiration date of November 30, 2022. The Department is therefore
requesting approval of the currently approved form/format in this new
collection.
Dated: October 6, 2022.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance, Governance and
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
