reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's

the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed

Department of Education is especially interested in public comment

accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,

including through the use of information technology. Please note that

    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; Individuals or 
Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 69.

    Abstract: The HEAL forms are required for lenders to make 
application to the HEAL insurance program, to report accurately and 
timely on loan actions, including transfer of loans to a secondary 
agent, and to establish the repayment status of borrowers who qualify 
for deferment of payments using form 508. The reports assist in the 
diligent administration of the HEAL program, protecting the financial 
interest of the federal government.
