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 Discharge Application: Forgery.
    OMB Control Number: 1845--NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,786.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,786.
    Abstract: This requests is for a new information collection to 
approve a form to be used to obtain information from federal student 
loan borrowers who allege that the loan(s) in their name were the 
result of a forgery. This information will be used by the Secretary to 
make a determination of forgery for the Direct Loans, FFEL Program 
Loans, and Federal Perkins Loans held by the Department. This 
information collection stems from the common law legal principal of 
forgery, which is not reflected specifically in the Department's 
statute or regulations, but with which the Department must comply.
