DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
 

Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests

agency: Department of Education.

action: Notice of proposed information collection requests.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

summary: The Director, Information Resources Group, invites comments on 
proposed information collection requests as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1980.

dates: An expedited review has been requested in accordance with the 
Act, since allowing for the normal review period would adversely affect 
the public interest. Approval by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) has been requested by December 31, 1994.

addresses: Written comments should be addressed to the Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attention: Dan Chenok, Desk 
Officer, Department of Education, Office of Management and Budget, 725 
17th Street NW., room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, 
DC 20503. Requests for copies of the proposed information collection 
request should be addressed to Patrick J. Sherrill, Department of 
Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., room 5624, Regional Office 
Building 3, Washington, DC 20202-4651.

for further information contact: Patrick J. Sherrill, (202) 708-9915. 
Individuals who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may 
call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 
between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

supplementary information: Section 3517 of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1980 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 3517) requires that the Director of OMB 
provide interested Federal agencies and persons an early opportunity to 
comment on information collection requests. OMB may amend or waive the 
requirement for public consultation to the extent that public 
participation in the approval process would defeat the purpose of the 
information collection, violate State or Federal law, or substantially 
interfere with any agency's ability to perform its statutory 
obligations.
    The Director, Information Resources Group, publishes this notice 
with the attached proposed information collection request prior to 
submission of this request to OMB. This notice contains the following 
information: (1) Type of review requested, e.g., expedited; (2) Title; 
(3) Abstract; (4) Additional Information; (5) Frequency of collection; 
(6) Affected public; and (7) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. 
Because an expedited review is requested, a description of the 
information to be collected is also included as an attachment to this 
notice.

    Dated: December 6, 1994.
Gloria Parker,
Director, Information Resources Group.

Office of Postsecondary Education

Type of Review: Expedited
Title: Cancellation and Deferment Request Forms for the Federal Direct 
Student Loan Program
Frequency: On occasion
Affected Public: Individuals or households
Reporting Burden:
    Responses: 45,000
    Burden Hours: 9,000
Recordkeeping Burden:
    Recordkeepers: 0
    Burden Hours: 0
    Abstract: These deferment and cancellation forms will be the means 
by which a Direct Loan borrower requests and provides certification 
that he or she meets the eligibility requirements for a specific 
deferment of repayment or cancellation of a loan obligation.
    Additional Information: ED has requested an OMB approval by 
December 31, 1994. Having the cancellation and deferment request forms 
approved by December 31 will allow the Direct Loan Servicing Center to 
print the forms and have them available for borrowers who will enter 
repayment as early as January 1995. In addition, the number of 
borrowers immediately entering repayment will increase substantially 
when ED begins processing Federal Direct Consolidation Loans.
