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
records.
Title of Collection: Multi-purpose Financial Information Statement.
OMB Control Number: 1845-NEW.
Type of Review: A new ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 415,542.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 261,791.
Abstract: This is a request for a new collection. The information
collected through this new form will support both involuntary
collection and voluntary resolution of defaulted Federal student loans
in the following categories: Involuntary collection where the
Department of Education (ED) and guaranty agencies utilize two methods
to involuntarily collect defaulted student loans: the Treasury Offset
Program (TOP) and Administrative Wage Garnishment (AWG). And voluntary
resolution: defaulted borrowers can resolve their loan balance by
making voluntary payments or through the loan rehabilitation program
authorized by the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and
described in regulations at 34 CFR 682.405(b)(1)(iii) and 34 CFR
685.211(f). ED will use the new form in place of the existing Loan
Rehabilitation: Income and Expense Information form (OMB No. 1845-0120)
and will allow schools and guaranty agencies to use the new form for
the same purposes for which ED will use it. Note that guaranty agencies
may continue to use the current form in lieu of the new form if they
choose.
Dated: September 23, 2024.

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