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