collections of

[[Page 40576]]

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: PLUS Adverse Credit Reconsideration Loan 
Counseling.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0129.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 475,974.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 356,982.
    Abstract: Section 428B(a)(1)(A) of the Higher Education Act of 
1965, as amended (HEA), provides that to be eligible to receive a 
Federal PLUS Loan under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) 
Program, the applicant must not have an adverse credit history, as 
determined pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Secretary. In 
accordance with section 455(a)(1) of the HEA, this same eligibility 
requirement applies to applicants for PLUS loans under the Direct Loan 
Program. Since July 1, 2010 the Direct Loan Program is the only Federal 
loan program that offers Federal PLUS Loans.
    The adverse credit history section of the eligibility regulations 
in 34 CFR 685.200 (b) and (c) specify an applicant for a PLUS loan who 
is determined to have an adverse credit history must complete loan 
counseling offered by the Secretary before receiving the Federal PLUS 
loan.
    The Department is requesting an extension to the information 
collection regarding the adverse credit history regulations in 34 CFR 
685.200 (b) and (c) and the burden these changes create for Federal 
PLUS loan borrowers, both parent and graduate/professional students.
