Historically Black Colleges and Universities under part D of title III 
of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. The proposed 
information collection will be used to determine each applicant's 
eligibility for deferment, obtain required documentation and assurances 
to support the deferment request, and prioritize among applicants if 
requests exceed appropriations.
