Abstract: The Department of Education (Department) is requesting an emergency clearance for this revision of the information collection, 1845-0110. Additionally, we are requesting that the full clearance package be filed at the same time and that the Department will initiate the 60-day public comment period upon notification of emergency approval. Final Regulations published on October 31, 2025 (90 FR 48966), 34 CFR 685.219(i) require an update to the currently approved Public Service Loan Forgiveness Certification and Application, to comply with E.O. 14325, by revising the certification language to include an attestation, under penalty of perjury, that the employer has not engaged in any activity that has a substantial illegal purpose on or after July 1, 2026. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) signed into law on July 4, 2025 also made statutory changes that indirectly impact this collection by revising the loan repayment plans that qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, which are in effect July 1, 2026.

Emergency Justfication: Pursuant to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) procedures established at 5 CFR Part 1320, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) requests that the information collection 1845-0110, Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) & Temporary Expanded PSLF (TEPSLF) Certification and Application form, be processed in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.13 Emergency Processing. The Department is actively preparing a full clearance package and plans to initiate the 60-day public comment period following the emergency approval. The Department is requesting emergency clearance for 180 days to update the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) & Temporary Expanded PSLF (TEPSLF) Certification and Application form to align with statutory changes made under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) (P.L. 119-21) and Final Regulations published on October 31, 2025 (90 FR 48966), which are in effect as of July 1, 2026.
