    Title of Collection: DCIA Aging and Compliance Data Requirements 
for Guaranty Agencies.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0160.
    Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved 
ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and 
Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 275.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 726.
    Abstract: The Department of Education (the Department) is 
requesting OMB approval for an extension of the currently approved 
collection 1845-0160 DCIA Aging and Compliance Data Requirements for 
Guaranty Agencies (GAs).
    The Department is required to report to the U.S. Department of the 
Treasury (Treasury) the status and condition of its non-tax debt 
portfolio in accordance with the requirements of the Debt Collection 
Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) and the Digital Accountability and 
Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act). Receivable information is reported 
to Treasury via the Treasury Report on Receivables and Debt Collection 
Activities (previously called the TROR).
    The Department is unable to prepare an accurate and compliant 
Treasury Report without additional data from its GAs. The continuing 
guidance requires the GAs to submit to the Department:
    age debt according to DCIA;
    report the eligibility of DCIA-aged debt for referral to the 
Treasury Offset Program (TOP); and
    report compliance with Form 1099-C reporting.
    Neither the regulations or the data requirements have changed since 
the last extension of this ICR in 2023.

Ross Santy,
Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy 
Development.
