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 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: Federal Direct Loan Program Regulations for 
Forbearance and Loan Rehabilitation.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0119.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 129,027.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 35,094.
    Abstract: This information collection for the Direct Loan (DL) 
Program is related to regulations for dealing with defaulted loans and 
forbearance in Sec.  685.205 and reasonable and affordable loan 
rehabilitation in Sec.  685.211. We are requesting an extension of the 
current burden calculated for this information collection. These 
regulations provide additional flexibilities for Direct Loan borrowers 
and permit oral requests for forbearance, as well as allow a borrower 
to object to the initially established reasonable and affordable loan 
repayment amount. In addition, if a borrower incurs changes to his or 
her financial circumstances, the borrower can provide supporting 
documentation to change the amount of the reasonable and affordable 
loan monthly repayment amount. There has been no change to the 
regulatory language.

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