SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that

[[Page 21228]]

is described below. The Department of Education is especially 
interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) Is 
this collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department; 
(2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) 
is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this 
collection on the respondents, including through the use of information 
technology. Please note that written comments received in response to 
this notice will be considered public records.
    Title of Collection: Reaffirmation Agreement.
    OMB Control Number: 1845--NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households, Private 
Sector, State, Local and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 28,880.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,465.
    Abstract: The HEA provides for a maximum amount that a borrower can 
receive per year and in total. If a borrower receives more than one of 
these maximum amounts, the borrower is rendered ineligible for further 
title IV aid (including Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental 
Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Work-Study, and Teacher 
Education Assistance for Higher Education (TEACH) Grants) unless the 
borrower repays the excess amount or agreed to repay the excess amount 
according to the terms and conditions of the promissory note that the 
borrower signed. Agreeing to repay the excess amount according to the 
terms and conditions of the promissory note that the borrower signed is 
called ``reaffirmation''. ED and FFEL Program lenders will use the 
information on this form to enforce the borrower's obligation to repay 
the total FFEL or Direct Loan debt that the borrower obtained including 
the amounts in excess of the annual or aggregate loan limit.

    Dated: April 14, 2015.

Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of 
the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management.
