Title of Collection: DCIA Aging and Compliance Data Requirements
for Guaranty Agencies.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0160.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved

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
[[Page 1571]]
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: January 5, 2023.

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