    Title of Collection: Revocation of Consent to Share Federal Tax 
Information Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-NEW.
    Type of Review: A new ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 15,300.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 518.
    Abstract: The FUTURE Act allows Federal Student Aid to receive 
customers' federal tax information (FTI) from the Internal Revenue 
Service (IRS) through the Internal Revenue Code Sec.  6103 for the 
purposes of administering the Free Application for Federal Student Aid 
(FAFSA[supreg]) form, and income-driven repayment (IDR) plans. Since 
customers will be required to provide consent for this process, we also 
need to provide an option for them to revoke consent. This is a request 
for a new information collection for the form which will allow 
individuals to revoke previous consent for FTI for the purposes of 
administration of title IV, Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, 
student financial aid activities. The paper form is an alternative 
option to the web flow to revoke consent for the IDR application. There 
has been a change in the burden estimate. The revocation now only 
applies to IDR forms and the information is collected for no other 
purpose than to apply the applicants request to the IDR application and 
to keep it on file for any subsequent requests.
