accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the

including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.

    Abstract: Enrollment in the Federal Student Aid (FSA) Student Aid 
Internet Gateway (SAIG) allows eligible entities to securely exchange 
Title IV, Higher Education Act (HEA) assistance programs data 
electronically with the Department of Education processors. 
Organizations establish Destination Point Administrators (DPAs) to 
transmit, receive, view and update student financial aid records using 
telecommunication software. Eligible respondents include, but are not 
limited to, the following institutions of higher education that 
participate in Title IV, HEA assistance programs, third-party servicers 
of eligible institutions, Guaranty Agencies, Federal Family Education 
Loan Program (FFELP) lenders, Federal Loan Servicers, and local 
educational agencies (LEAs). The Enrollment Form for Post-Secondary 
Schools and Servicers represents the full complement of questions that 
must be presented for an organization enrolling in SAIG. The Enrollment 
Form for State Grant Agencies is a subset of selected questions (from 
the full complement of questions) to streamline the form for ease of 
use. This request represents the full 3 year review.
