requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format. ED 
is soliciting comments on the proposed information collection request 
(ICR) that is described below. The 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: Student Assistance General Provisions--Non-
Title IV Revenue Requirements (90/10).
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0096.
    Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 10.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 5.
    Abstract: The regulations in 34 CFR 668.28 provide that a 
proprietary institution must derive at least 10% of its annual revenue 
from sources other than Title IV, HEA funds, identifies sanctions for 
failing to meet this requirement, and otherwise implement the statute. 
An institution discloses in a footnote to its audited financial 
statements the amounts of Federal and non-Federal revenues, by 
category, that it used in calculating its 90/10 ratio (see section 
487(d) of the HEA).
    The publication of final regulations on September 2, 2020, removed 
section 668.285(b) regarding Net Present Value in the calculation of 
the 90/10 ratio and reserved this subparagraph as of the effective date 
of the regulation, July 1, 2021. With the cancellation of the 
requirement to calculate the Net Present Value, we are revising the 
current information collection to estimate the burden for the reporting 
of the sanction to the Department only.
    This request is to revise the currently approved a information 
collection package, OMB Control Number 1845-0096, to include burden 
hours based on section 668.28(c) Sanctions. The information collection 
requirements in the regulations are necessary to determine eligibility 
to receive program benefits and to prevent fraud and abuse of program 
funds.

    Dated: October 20, 2021.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance Governance and 
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, 
Evaluation and Policy Development.
