Title of Collection: Income Driven Repayment Plan Request for the
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loans and Federal Family Education Loan
Programs.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0102.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households Total
Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 9,500,000.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,135,000.
Abstract: Department of Education (the Department) is requesting
revision of the form without change to the usage or burden amounts of
the information collection, 1845-0102. The Department is requesting the
60-day public comment period. The Department is updating the IDR
Request Form that is used by a borrower to enroll, re-certify, or
change their IDR plan to support the entirety of the final rule
published July 10, 2023. Specifically, the form is being updated to
remove the option for new enrollments in the PAYE Plan and limit new
enrollments in the ICR Plan to borrowers with specific types of loans.
The form has also been updated to make the definition of family size
consistent for all borrowers. The form updates the terms of the SAVE
Plan to reduce the discretionary income percentage used to calculate
monthly payments for undergraduate-level loans and describe the new
shortened forgiveness timelines for borrowers with low initial loan
debts. Additionally, updates were made to reorganize the order of the
sections and to improve readability and the borrower experience.
Dated: April 15, 2024.

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