SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

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

Title of Collection: Federal Family Educational Loan Program--
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA).
OMB Control Number: 1845-0093.
Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, or
Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 16,731.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 50,115.
Abstract: The Department is requesting a revision of the current
information collection. These Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL)
Program regulations require a loan holder to match its database against
the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) and automatically apply the
interest rate limitation, as appropriate, to borrowers under the
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). There has been no change in the
statute or in the regulations. The Department is revising downward the
overall collection burden due to the decreasing number of FFEL loan
holders and affected loans. Additionally, the Department is removing
the minimal burden previously assessed individuals as a separate form
was created subsequent to the initial information collection and the
burden on individuals is more appropriate linked to that information
collection.
