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: Loan Rehabilitation: Reasonable and Affordable 
Payments.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0120.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 35,282.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 35,282.
    Abstract: Borrowers who have defaulted on their Direct Loan or FFEL 
Program loans may remove those loans from default through a process 
called rehabilitation. Loan rehabilitation requires the borrower to 
make 9 payments within 10 months. The payment amount is set according 
to one of two formulas. The second of the two formulas uses the 
information that is collected in this form. The form is being revised 
to make it easier for borrowers to complete by either eliminating 
unnecessary language or simplifying language already on the form.

    Dated: December 22, 2016.
Kate Mullan,
Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of 
the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management.
