Short Statement: This is a request for a revision of the currently approved form. The Department recently estimated the total annual number of PLUS MPN and PLUS Endorser respondents to be approximately 1,379,766 (91 FR 17956). For consistency purposes the Department is continuing to estimate 1,379,766 respondents which causes a small increase in burden and responses to this collection. The increase is solely due to adjustment in agency estimates based on Department data. The Department does believe OBBBA changes will decrease burden for this collection, but it would be a misrepresentation to decrease burden and responses at this time due to the transitional period. The Department intends to update burden for this collection upon the next renewal of this form no later than 3 years from approval of this revision. We anticipate future burden changes will be made to this collection to remove PLUS loans for graduate students as outlined in the OBBBA.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $106,667
