    OMB Control Number: 1845-0038.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement without change of a previously 
approved ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individual and Households; State,

    Abstract: This request is for a reinstatement without change of the 
current information collection 1845-0038. This collection pertains to 
the recordkeeping requirements contained in the regulations related to 
the administration of the Subpart K--Cash Management section of the 
Student Assistance General Provisions. The regulatory language has not 
changed.
    These program regulations are designed to provide benefits to title 
IV, HEA applicants, and protect the taxpayers' interest. The 
information collection requirements in these regulations are necessary 
to provide students with required information about their eligibility 
to receive funding under the federal student financial aid programs. 
The collection requirements help prevent fraud and abuse of program 
funds by allowing students to reduce or reject aid being offered to 
them as well as being made aware of when funding can be expected to be 
available.

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