Abstract: This is a request for a new information collection. On
March 10, 2015, the White House issued a Student Aid Bill of Rights.
Among the objectives identified was the creation of a centralized
complaint system. The purpose of the Enterprise Complaint System is to
meet the objective: ``Create a Responsive Student Feedback System: The
Secretary of Education will create a new Web site by July 1, 2016, to
give students and borrowers a simple and straightforward way to file
complaints and provide feedback about federal student loan lenders,
servicers, collections agencies, and institutions of higher education.
Students and borrowers will be able to ensure that their complaints
will be directed to the right party for timely resolution, and the
Department of Education will be able to more quickly respond to issues
and strengthen its efforts to protect the integrity of the student
financial aid programs.'' The Department of Education has charged
Federal Student Aid with the development and oversight of this new
collection.

Dated: December 4, 2015.
