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

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 
public records.
    Title of Collection: Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL)

    Abstract: The HEAL form 504 is required for lenders to make 
applications 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. The HEAL form 508 is required for HEAL 
borrowers to request deferment of payment of their loan under specific 
conditions. This collection is removing the datasets previously 
included in this collection due to the decrease in the number of users.
