proposed information collection request (ICR) that is described below.
The Department is especially interested in public comment addressing
the following issues: (1) is this collection necessary to the proper
functions of the Department; (2) will this information be 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

Title of Collection: Student Assistance General Provision Subpart I
Immigration Status Confirmation.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0052.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and
Tribal Governments; Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 118,360.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 14,794.
Abstract: This request is for approval of an extension of the
reporting requirements currently in the Student Assistance General
Provisions, 34 CFR part 668, subpart I. This subpart governs the
Immigration-Status Confirmation, as authorized by section 484(g) of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) (20 U.S.C. 1091). The
regulations may be reviewed at 34 CFR part 668, subpart I. The
regulations are necessary to determine eligibility to receive program
benefits and to prevent fraud and abuse of program funds. This
collection updates the usage by individuals and schools. While the
regulations refer to a secondary confirmation process and completion of
the paper G-845 form these processes are no longer in use. The
Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services
(DHS/USCIS) replaced the paper secondary confirmation method with a
fully electronic process, Systematic Alien Verification for
Entitlements (SAVE) system and the use of the Third Step Verification
Process.
Dated: February 12, 2024.

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