Abstract:
This is a request to transfer an approved portion of the reporting burden currently in 1845-0116 to 1845-0021. There are no changes to that already approved portion, only the increase of hours for 1845-0021 due to the transfer. This requested action removes from 1845-0116 the information collection sections of the regulations, 685.301 (c) and 685.309 (b), that require reporting William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (Direct Loan Program) borrower information to the Secretary, to the 1845-0021 ICR. By including these reporting requirements in the information collection that manages the regulatory burden for the Direct Loan Program, it will now allow for improved monitoring of any changes in the burden assessment as well as streamlining the number of information collections which the public and the Department must track. See attached for additional explanation.
