Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved

Abstract: The United States Department of Education will collect
data through the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) from Federal
Perkins Loan holders (institutions or their servicers) and Guaranty
Agencies (GA) about Federal Perkins, Federal Family Education, and
William D. Ford Direct Student Loans to be used to manage the federal
student loan programs, develop policy, and determine eligibility for
programs under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended
(HEA). NSLDS also holds data about Federal Grants, including Pell
Grants, Academic Competitiveness Grants (ACG), National Science and
Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) and Teacher Education
Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants. NSLDS is
used for research, policy analysis, monitoring student enrollment,
calculating default rates, monitoring program participants and
verifying student aid eligibility. This is a request for an extension
to the current information collection 1845-0035 based on a decrease in
the number of participants providing information to the system.
