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 and Federal Family 
Education Loan Program Teacher Loan Forgiveness Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0059.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 8,700.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,871.
    Abstract: The Teacher Loan Forgiveness (TLF) Application serves as 
the means by which an eligible Direct Loan or FFEL program borrower who 
has completed five consecutive years of qualifying teaching service 
applies for forgiveness of up to $5,000 or up to $17,500 of his or her 
eligible loans. Eligible special education teachers and secondary 
school math or science teachers may receive a maximum of $17,500 in 
loan forgiveness. Other teachers may receive a maximum of $5,000 in 
loan forgiveness. Borrowers who are working toward loan forgiveness may 
use the TLF Forbearance Request to request a forbearance during some or 
all of their required five consecutive years of teaching service. A 
prospective TLF applicant may receive a forbearance during some or all 
of the five-year teaching period only if the projected balance on the 
borrower's eligible loans at the end of the five-year period (if the 
borrower made monthly loan payments during that period) would be less 
than the maximum forgiveness amount for which the borrower qualifies.

    Dated: June 29, 2017.

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