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

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

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: DCIA Aging and Compliance Data Requirements
for Guaranty Agencies.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0160.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and
Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 450.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,188.
Abstract: The Department of Education (the Department) is
requesting an extension of the currently approved Guaranty Agencies
(GA) reporting requirements for Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval. The reporting requirements include minor edits together with
updated GA and FSA contacts.
The Department is required to report to the U.S. Department of the
Treasury (Treasury) the status and condition of its non-tax debt
portfolio in accordance with the requirements of the Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) and the Digital Accountability and
Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act). Receivable information is reported
to Treasury via the Treasury Report on Receivables and Debt Collection
Activities (previously called the TROR).
The Department is unable to prepare an accurate and compliant
Treasury Report based on the data it currently receives from its GAs.
The continuing guidance requires the GAs to age debt according to DCIA;
report the eligibility of DCIA-aged debt for referral to the Treasury
Offset Program (TOP); and report compliance with Form 1099-C reporting.
The updated document is titled DCIA Aging and Compliance Data
Requirements for Guaranty Agencies (the Requirements). The Department
plans to issue the Requirements to the GAs in Fiscal Year 2023. The
data requirements for GA's are not changing. The updated document
includes minor edits together with updated GA and FSA contacts.
Dated: October 27, 2022.
Kun Mullan,
PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance, Governance and
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
Evaluation and Policy Development.
