Title of Collection: Student Assistance General Provisions--Subpart
J--Approval of Independently Administered Tests.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0049.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; Individuals or
Households; State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 67,989.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 10,392.
Abstract: This request is for a revision of the approval for the
reporting and recordkeeping requirements that are contained in the
information collection 1845-0049 for Student Assistance General
Provision in the regulations in Subpart J-Approval of Independently
Administered Tests; Specification of Passing Score; Approval of State
Process.
There are no forms or formats established by the Department for the
reporting or recordkeeping requirements. These regulations govern the
application for and approval of assessments by the Secretary by a
private test publisher or State that are used to measure a student's
skills and abilities. The administration of approved ATB tests may be
used to determine a student's eligibility for assistance for the Title
IV student financial assistance programs authorized under the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) when, among other conditions,
the student does not have a high school diploma or its recognized
equivalent.
