Title of Collection: Federal Student Aid (FSA) Feedback System.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0141.
Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individual and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 43,200.

Abstract: This is a request for a reinstatement with change of the
current information collection of the FSA Feedback System, OMB Control
1845-0141. On March 10, 2015, the White House issued a Student Aid Bill
of Rights. Among the objectives identified was the creation of a
centralized complaint system that is now resident and supported via the
Federal Student Aid Feedback System. The purpose of the system is to
meet the objective: ``Create a Responsive Student Feedback System: The
Secretary of Education will create a new website by July 1, 2016, to
give students and borrowers a simple and straightforward way to file
complaints and provide feedback about federal student loan lenders,
servicers, collections agencies, and institutions of higher education.
Students and borrowers will be able to ensure that their complaints
will be directed to the right party for timely resolution, and the
Department of Education will be able to more quickly respond to issues
and strengthen its efforts to protect the integrity of the student
financial aid programs.''

Program and Management Analyst, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of
Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development.
