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.
