an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing

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

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: William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct 
Loan) Program Federal Direct PLUS Loan Master Promissory Note and 
Endorser Addendum.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0068.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,380,923.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 690,462.
    Abstract: The Federal Direct PLUS Loan Master Promissory Note 
(Direct PLUS Loan MPN) serves as the means by which an individual 
applies for and agrees to repay a Federal Direct PLUS Loan. The Direct 
PLUS Loan MPN also informs the borrower of the terms and conditions of 
Direct PLUS Loan and includes a statement of borrower's rights and 
responsibilities. A Direct PLUS Loan borrower must not have an adverse 
credit history. If an applicant for a Direct PLUS Loan is determined to 
have an adverse credit history, the applicant may qualify for a Direct 
PLUS Loan by obtaining an endorser who does not have an adverse credit 
history. The Endorser Addendum serves as the means by which an endorser 
agrees to repay the Direct PLUS Loan if the borrower does not repay it. 
This revision incorporates changes to information based on regulatory 
changes, expands repayment plan
