Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
agency: Department of Education.
action: Notice of proposed information collection requests.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
summary: The Director, Information Resources Group, invites comments on
proposed information collection requests as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980.
dates: An expedited review has been requested in accordance with the
Act, since allowing for the normal review period would adversely affect
the public interest. Approval by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has been requested by December 31, 1994.
addresses: Written comments should be addressed to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Dan Chenok, Desk
Officer, Department of Education, Office of Management and Budget, 725
17th Street NW., room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington,
DC 20503. Requests for copies of the proposed information collection
request should be addressed to Patrick J. Sherrill, Department of
Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., room 5624, Regional Office
Building 3, Washington, DC 20202-4651.

Individuals who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may
call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339
between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday.
supplementary information: Section 3517 of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1980 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3517) requires that the Director of OMB
provide interested Federal agencies and persons an early opportunity to
comment on information collection requests. OMB may amend or waive the
requirement for public consultation to the extent that public
participation in the approval process would defeat the purpose of the
information collection, violate State or Federal law, or substantially
interfere with any agency's ability to perform its statutory
obligations.
The Director, Information Resources Group, publishes this notice
with the attached proposed information collection request prior to
submission of this request to OMB. This notice contains the following
information: (1) Type of review requested, e.g., expedited; (2) Title;
(3) Abstract; (4) Additional Information; (5) Frequency of collection;
(6) Affected public; and (7) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden.
Because an expedited review is requested, a description of the
information to be collected is also included as an attachment to this
notice.
Dated: December 6, 1994.
Gloria Parker,
Director, Information Resources Group.
Office of Postsecondary Education
Type of Review: Expedited
Title: Cancellation and Deferment Request Forms for the Federal Direct
Student Loan Program
Frequency: On occasion
Affected Public: Individuals or households
Reporting Burden:
Responses: 45,000
Burden Hours: 9,000
Recordkeeping Burden:
Recordkeepers: 0
Burden Hours: 0
Abstract: These deferment and cancellation forms will be the means
by which a Direct Loan borrower requests and provides certification
that he or she meets the eligibility requirements for a specific
deferment of repayment or cancellation of a loan obligation.
Additional Information: ED has requested an OMB approval by
December 31, 1994. Having the cancellation and deferment request forms
approved by December 31 will allow the Direct Loan Servicing Center to
print the forms and have them available for borrowers who will enter
repayment as early as January 1995. In addition, the number of
borrowers immediately entering repayment will increase substantially
when ED begins processing Federal Direct Consolidation Loans.
