AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection request.

SUMMARY: The Acting Director, Information Resources Management Service,
invites comments on the proposed information collection request as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980.
DATES: An emergency 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 August 5, 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, 726
Jackson Place, NW., Room 3208, New Executive Office Building,
Washington, D.C. 20503. Requests for copies of the proposed information
collection request should be addressed to Patrick J. Sherrill,
Department of Education, 7th & D Streets, S.W., Room 5624, Regional

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 Acting Director, Office of Information Resources
Management, publishes this notice with attached proposed information
collection requests prior to submission to OMB. For each proposed
information collection request, grouped by office, this notice contains
the following information: (1) Type of review requested, e.g., new,
revision, extension, existing, or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3)
Frequency of collection; (4) The affected public; (5) Reporting and/or
Recordkeeping burden; and (6) Abstract. Because an emergency review is
requested, the additional information to be requested in this
collection is included in the section on ``Additional Information'' in
this notice.
Dated: July 28, 1994.

Title: Standards, Criteria, and Procedures Governing the Repayment
and Consolidation of Loans Under the Direct Loan Program
Abstract: On August 10, 1993, the Student Loan Reform Act of 1993
(P.L. 103-66) was enacted. The legislation authorized the Federal
Direct Student Loan Program to make loans beginning July 1, 1994. On
July 1, 1994 the regulations implementing the Consolidation Loan
Process were published. The repayment and consolidation rules satisfy
the requirements needed for the first year of this program.
Additional Information: The U.S. Department of Education has
requested an emergency review and approval from the Office of
Management and Budget. ED was required by law to implement the
Consolidation Loan Process by July 1, 1994. To prevent further delay in
this statutory deadline, ED has requested approval by August 5, 1994.
This will allow ED to provide the required forms to the borrowers by
mid-August.
