    Abstract: The William D. Ford Direct Loan Program regulations cover 
areas of program administration. These regulations are in place to 
minimize administrative burden for program participants, to determine 
eligibility for and provide program benefits to borrower, and to 
prevent fraud and abuse of program funds to protect the taxpayers' 
interests. This request is for a revision of the current OMB approval 
of reporting and record-keeping related to the administrative 
requirements of the Direct Loan program.

                                                       The copy of the 2015 income tax return must include the signature of the tax filer or one of the filers of a joint income tax return or the signed,
                                                    stamped, typed, or printed name and address of the preparer of the income tax return and the preparer’s Social Security Number, Employer
                                                    Identification Number, or Preparer Tax Identification Number.
                                                       For a tax filer who filed an income tax return other than an IRS form, such as a foreign or Puerto Rican tax form, the institution must use the
                                                    income information (converted to U.S. dollars) from the lines of that form that correspond most closely to the income information reported on a
                                                    U.S. income tax return.
                                                       An individual who did not retain a copy of his or her 2015 tax account information and that information cannot be located by the IRS or other
                                                    relevant taxing authority, must submit to the institution—
                                                       (a) Copies of all IRS Form W–2s or equivalent documents;
                                                       (b) Documentation from the IRS or other relevant taxing authority that indicates the individual’s 2015 tax account information cannot be lo-
                                                    cated; and
                                                       (c) A signed statement that indicates that the individual did not retain a copy of his or her 2015 tax account information.
                                                       2 An individual who is required to submit an IRS Form W–2 or an equivalent document but did not maintain his or her copy should request a
                                                    duplicate from the employer who issued the original or from the government agency that issued the equivalent document. If the individual is un-
                                                    able to obtain a duplicate W–2 or an equivalent document in a timely manner, the institution may permit that individual to provide a signed state-
                                                    ment, in accordance with 34 CFR 668.57(a)(6), that includes—
                                                      (a) The amount of income earned from work;
                                                      (b) The source of that income; and
                                                      (c) The reason why the IRS Form W–2 or an equivalent document is not available in a timely manner.
