accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,

    Title of Collection: Part 601 Preferred Lender Arrangements.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0101.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments; 
Private Sector; Individuals or Households.

    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,553,281.
    Abstract: Part 601--Institution and Lender Requirements Relating to 
Education Loans is a section of the regulations governing private 
education loans offered at covered institutions. These regulations 
assure the Secretary that the integrity of the program is protected 
from fraud and misuse of program funds and places requirements on 
institutions and lenders to ensure that borrowers receive additional 
disclosures about Title IV, HEA program assistance prior to obtaining a 
private education loan. The Department is submitting the unchanged 
Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification for OMB's continued 
approval. While information about the applicant's cost of attendance 
and estimated financial assistance must be provided to the student, if 
available, the student will provide the data to the private loan lender 
who must collect and maintain the self-certification form prior to 
disbursement of a Private Education Loan. The Department will not 
receive the Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification form 
and therefore will not be collecting and maintaining the form or its 
data.

    Dated: February 24, 2016.

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