    Title of Collection: Student Assistance General Provisions--Subpart

    OMB Control Number: 1845-0038.
    Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved 
ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private sector; State, local, and 
Tribal governments; individuals and households.

    Abstract: This request is for an extension of the current 
information collection 1845-0038 that is expiring. This collection 
pertains to the recordkeeping requirements contained in the regulations 
related to the administration of the Subpart K--Cash Management section 
of the Student Assistance General Provisions. The regulatory language 
has not changed. These program regulations are designed to provide 
benefits to Title IV, HEA applicants, and protect the taxpayers' 
interest. The information collection requirements in these regulations 
are necessary to provide students with required information about their 
eligibility to receive funding under the federal student financial aid 
programs and to prevent fraud and abuse of program funds by allowing 
students to reduce or reject aid being offered as well as being made 
aware of when such funding can be expected to be available.
