Title of Collection: Student Assistance General Provisions--
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0108.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households; Private
Sector; State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 31,575,067.

Abstract: The Department of Education (the Department) is
requesting an extension of the current approval of the policies and
procedures for determining satisfactory academic progress (SAP) as
required in Section 484 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended
(HEA). A link to the Satisfactory Academic Progress regulations is
provided at 34 CFR 668.34 and 34 CFR 600.55.
These regulations identify the policies and procedures to ensure
that students are making satisfactory academic progress in their
program at a pace and a level to receive or continue to receive Title
IV, HEA program funds. If there is lapse in progress, the policy must
identify how the student will be notified and what steps are available
to a student not making satisfactory academic progress toward the
completion of their program, and under what conditions a student who is
not making satisfactory academic progress may continue to receive Title
IV, HEA program funds. There have been minor changes to the regulatory
language since the last information collection update. The changes do
not represent changes to the estimated burden established below.
Dated: January 31, 2023.

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