Title of Collection: Federal Student Loan Program: Internship/
Residency and Loan Debt Burden Forbearance Forms.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0018.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,215,812.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 181,495.
Abstract: These forms serve as the means by which borrowers in the
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan), Federal Family
Education Loan (FFEL) and the Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins Loan)
Programs may request forbearance of repayment on their loans if they
meet certain conditions. The U.S. Department of Education and other
loan holders uses the information collected on these forms to determine
whether a borrower meets the eligibility requirements for the specific
type of forbearance. The Service forbearance (SERV Forb) and the
Student Loan Debt forbearance (SLDB Forb) forms are currently approved
under OMB No. 1845-0018. The General forbearance (GEN Forb) form is
currently approved under OMB No. 1845-0031. For greater simplicity and
to make it easier to maintain consistency among the various forbearance
forms, the Department is consolidating the two current collections into
a single collection under OMB No. 1845-0018. This review request merges
the number of respondents/responses/burden hours for both collections.
