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: Personal Authentication Service (PAS) for FSA 
ID.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0131.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 55,300,000.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 14,715,000.
    Abstract: Federal Student Aid (FSA) replaced the PIN system with 
the Personal Authentication Service (PAS) which will employ an FSA ID, 
a standard user name and password solution. In order to create an FSA 
ID to gain access to certain FSA systems (FAFSA on the Web, NSLDS, 
StudentLoans.gov, etc.) a user must register on-line for an FSA ID 
account. The FSA ID allows the customer to have a single identity, even 
if there is a name change or change to other personally identifiable 
information. The information collected to create the FSA ID enables 
electronic authentication and authorization of users for FSA web-based 
applications and information and protects users from unauthorized 
access to user accounts on all protected FSA sites.
