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: Federal Family Educational Loan Program
(FFEL)--Administrative Requirements for States, Not-For-Profit Lenders,
and Eligible Lenders Trustees.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0085.
Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments;

Abstract: The regulations in 34 CFR 682.302(f) assure the Secretary

the entity meets the regulations. The submission must include the name
and lender identification number(s) for which the eligible designation
is being certified. Once an entity is approved it must provide an
annual recertification notice identifying the name and lender
identification number(s) for which designation is being requested.

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