SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

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: Application for Approval to Participate in 
Federal Student Financial Aid Programs.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0012.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments; 
Private Sector.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 7,286.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 24,352.
    Abstract: Section 487(c) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as 
amended (HEA) requires that the Secretary of Education prescribe 
regulations to ensure that any funds postsecondary institutions receive 
under the HEA are used solely for the purposes specified in, and in 
accordance with, the provision of the applicable programs. The 
Institutional Eligibility regulations govern the initial and continuing 
eligibility of postsecondary educational institutions participating in 
the student financial assistance program authorized by Title IV of the 
HEA. An institution must use this Application to apply for approval to 
be determined to be eligible

[[Page 85215]]

and if the institution wishes, to participate; to expand its 
eligibility; or to continue to participate in the Title IV programs. An 
institution must also use the application to report certain required 
data as part of its recordkeeping requirements contained in the 
regulations under 34 CFR part 600 (Institutional Eligibility under the 
HEA). The Department uses the information reported on the Application 
in its determination of whether an institution meets the statutory and 
regulatory requirements.
