SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection 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: Federal Student Aid User Experience Design 
Research Generic Clearance.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0159.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 262,400.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 74,975.
    Abstract: Federal Student Aid (FSA) seeks an extension of its OMB 
Fast Track Process (5-day) generic clearance to continue to collect 
qualitative feedback for the Next Generation Financial Services 
Environment (Next Gen) program. The Next Gen initiative is a 
comprehensive, FSA-branded customer engagement layer that will create 
an environment where the Department's customers will receive clear, 
consistent information and readily accessible self-service options at 
every stage of the student aid lifecycle.This collection of information 
is necessary to enable FSA to garner customer and stakeholder 
qualitative feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with 
our commitment to improving service and information delivery. By 
qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights 
on perceptions and opinions but are not statistical surveys that yield 
quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of 
study. The insights collected from our customers and stakeholders will 
help ensure that users have a consistent, efficient, and satisfying 
experience with FSA's programs.

    Dated: October 17, 2022.

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