Short Statement: This is a request for a revision of OMB information collection number 1845-0052 caused by a program change due to agency discretion. There is a decrease of 7,641 burden hours due to a decrease in the number of respondents who need to present documentation to the school to be included with the third step verification to complete the confirmation of eligibility to receive Title IV assistance. While the regulations refer to a secondary confirmation process and completion of the paper G-845 form these processes are no longer in use. DHS/USCIS replaced the paper secondary confirmation method with a fully electronic process, SAVE system and the use of the Third Step Verification Process. In April 2018, Federal Student Aid transitioned from the DHS-USCIS paper Form G-845 (for third step verification) to an electronic process via DHS’ SAVE system. There has not been any change to the regulatory language surrounding this activity however, the process has changed from a paper-based to an electronic one.
