Department of Education is especially interested in public comment

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.

    OMB Control Number: 1845-0048.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector, State, Local and 
Tribal Governments.

    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 7,548.
    Abstract: Institutions participating in the Federal Perkins Loan 
program use the assignment form to assign loans to the Department for 
collection without recompense, transferring the authority to collect on 
the loan. This request is for continuing approval off the paper based 
assignment form and for approval of the electronic process being 
finalized. The same information is being requested in both processing 
methods. The electronic process will allow for batch processing as well 
as individual processing.
