Abstract: Section 3505(a)(2) of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 provides the OMB Director authority to approve the steamlined clearance process proposed in this information collection request. This information collection request was originally approved by OMB in January of 1997. This information collection streamlines the clearance process for all discretionary grant information collections which do not fit the generic application process. The streamlined clearance process continues to reduce the clearance time for the U.S. Department of Education’s (ED’s) discretionary grant information collections by two months or 60 days. This is desirable for two major reasons: it would allow ED to provide better customer service to grant applicants and help meet ED’s goal for timely awards of discretionary grants. This is a request to extend the clearance process for discretionary grant information collections, and continue to be streamlined in the following manner: PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the clearance process begins when ED submits the collection to OMB and, simultaneously, publishes a 30-day public comment period notice in the Federal Register.

These programs, administered by the U.S. Department of Education (Department), provide financial assistance to students attending eligible postsecondary educational institutions to help them pay their educational costs. Deadline and Submission Dates: See Tables A, B, and C at the end of this notice. Table A—Deadline Dates for Application Processing and Receipt of Student Aid Reports (SARs) or Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs) by Institutions Table A provides information and deadline dates for application processing, including receipt of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and corrections to and signatures for the FAFSA, receipt of SARs and ISIRs, and receipt of verification documents. The deadline date for the receipt of a FAFSA by the Department’s Central Processing System is June 30, 2010, regardless of the method that the applicant uses to submit the FAFSA. The deadline date for the receipt of a signature page for the FAFSA (if required), corrections, changes of addresses or schools, or requests for a duplicate SAR is September 21, 2010. Verification documents must be received by the institution no later than the earlier of 120 days after the student’s last date of enrollment or September 28, 2010. For all Federal student aid programs except Parent PLUS, a SAR or ISIR with an official expected family contribution must be received by the institution no later than the earlier of the student’s last date of enrollment or September 28, 2010. For purposes of only the Federal Pell Grant, ACG, or National SMART Grant programs, a valid SAR or valid ISIR for a student not meeting the conditions for a late disbursement must be received no later than the earlier of the student’s last date of enrollment or September 28, 2010.

In accordance with the regulations in 34 CFR 668.164(g)(4)(i), an institution may not make a late disbursement later than 180 days after the date of the institution’s determination that the student withdrew or, for a student who did not withdraw, as provided in 34 CFR 668.22, 180 days after the date the student otherwise became ineligible. Table A provides that an institution must receive a valid SAR or valid ISIR no later than 180 days after its determination of a student’s withdrawal or, for a student who did not withdraw, 180 days after the date the student otherwise became ineligible, but not later than September 28, 2010. Table B—Federal Pell Grant, ACG, and National SMART Grant Programs Submission Dates for Disbursement Information by Institutions Table B provides the earliest submission and deadline dates for institutions to submit Federal Pell Grant, ACG, and National SMART Grant disbursement records to the Department’s Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System and deadline dates for requests for administrative relief if the institution cannot meet the established deadline for specified reasons. In general, an institution must submit Federal Pell Grant, ACG, or National SMART Grant disbursement records no later than 30 days after making a Federal Pell Grant, ACG, or National SMART Grant disbursement or becoming aware of the need to adjust a student’s previously reported Federal Pell Grant, ACG, or National SMART Grant disbursement. In accordance with the regulations in 34 CFR 668.164, we consider that Federal Pell Grant, ACG, and National SMART Grant funds are disbursed on the date that the institution: (a) Credits those funds to a student’s account in the institution’s general ledger or any subledger of the general ledger, or (b) pays those funds to a student directly. We consider that Federal Pell Grant, ACG, and National SMART Grant funds are disbursed even if an institution uses its own funds in advance of receiving program funds from the Department. An institution’s failure to submit disbursement records within the required 30-day timeframe may result in an audit or program review finding. In addition, the Secretary may initiate an adverse action, PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 29525 such as a fine or other penalty for such failure. Table C—Federal Pell Grant Disbursement Information for a Payment Period That Occurs in Two Award Years (Crossover Payment Period) Table C provides the deadline dates regarding when the receipt of information requires the institution to assign a student’s 2010 crossover payment period that occurs in the 2009– 2010 and 2010–2011 award years to the award year in which the student would receive a greater Federal Pell Grant payment for the payment period. In accordance with 34 CFR 690.64, as amended by the final regulations published on October 29, 2009, and effective on July 1, 2010 (74 FR 55902, 55951), an institution must, regardless of a student’s enrollment status, assign a crossover payment period (a payment period that includes both June 30 and July 1) to the award year in which the student would receive the greater payment for the crossover payment period based on the information available at the time the student’s Federal Pell Grant is initially calculated. Table C sets a September 10, 2010 deadline for the receipt of any information that would require an institution to reassign the 2010 crossover payment period to the award year providing the greater payment. During the subsequent period of time but not later than February 1, 2011, an institution may establish a policy concerning reassignment of the 2010 crossover payment period (74 FR 55922). It is important to note that for the 2010 transition crossover payment period only, an institution is not required to award a Federal Pell Grant to a student from the award year that will provide the greater payment if the institution established a written crossover payment period policy prior to July 1, 2010 and under that policy a student would be awarded a Federal Pell Grant from the 2009–2010 award year without applying the regulations as amended on October 29, 2009 (74 FR 55904).

The Commission’s regulations include a methodology for oil pipelines to change their rates through use of an index system that establishes ceiling levels for such rates. The Commission bases the index system, found at 18 CFR 342.3, on the annual change in the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods (PPI–FG), plus one point three percent (PPI+1.3). The Commission determined in an ‘‘Order Establishing Index For Oil Price Change Ceiling Levels’’ issued March 21, 2006, that PPI+1.3 is the appropriate oil pricing index factor for pipelines to use.1 The regulations provide that the Commission will publish annually, an index figure reflecting the final change in the PPI–FG, after the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the final PPI–FG in May of each calendar year.

SUMMARY: The Secretary announces deadline dates for the receipt of 
documents and other information from institutions and applicants for 
the Federal student aid programs authorized under Title IV of the 
Higher Education

[[Page 29525]]

Act of 1965, as amended, for the 2009-2010 award year. The Federal 
student aid programs include the Federal Supplemental Educational 
Opportunity Grant, Federal Family Education Loan, Federal Work-Study, 
Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Pell Grant, Leveraging Educational 
Assistance Partnership, William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan, Academic 
Competitiveness Grant (ACG), National Science and Mathematics Access to 
Retain Talent Grant (National SMART Grant), and Teacher Education 
Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) programs.
    These programs, administered by the U.S. Department of Education 
(Department), provide financial assistance to students attending 
eligible postsecondary educational institutions to help them pay their 
educational costs.
    Deadline and Submission Dates: See Tables A, B, and C at the end of 
this notice.

Table A--Deadline Dates for Application Processing and Receipt of 
Student Aid Reports (SARs) or Institutional Student Information Records 
(ISIRs) by Institutions

    Table A provides information and deadline dates for application 
processing, including receipt of the Free Application for Federal 
Student Aid (FAFSA) and corrections to and signatures for the FAFSA, 
receipt of SARs and ISIRs, and receipt of verification documents.
    The deadline date for the receipt of a FAFSA by the Department's 
Central Processing System is June 30, 2010, regardless of the method 
that the applicant uses to submit the FAFSA. The deadline date for the 
receipt of a signature page for the FAFSA (if required), corrections, 
changes of addresses or schools, or requests for a duplicate SAR is 
September 21, 2010. Verification documents must be received by the 
institution no later than the earlier of 120 days after the student's 
last date of enrollment or September 28, 2010.
    For all Federal student aid programs except Parent PLUS, a SAR or 
ISIR with an official expected family contribution must be received by 
the institution no later than the earlier of the student's last date of 
enrollment or September 28, 2010. For purposes of only the Federal Pell 
Grant, ACG, or National SMART Grant programs, a valid SAR or valid ISIR 
for a student not meeting the conditions for a late disbursement must 
be received no later than the earlier of the student's last date of 
enrollment or September 28, 2010. A valid SAR or valid ISIR for a 
student meeting the conditions for a late disbursement under the 
Federal Pell Grant, ACG, or National SMART Grant programs must be 
received according to the deadline dates provided in Table A.
    In accordance with the regulations in 34 CFR 668.164(g)(4)(i), an 
institution may not make a late disbursement later than 180 days after 
the date of the institution's determination that the student withdrew 
or, for a student who did not withdraw, as provided in 34 CFR 668.22, 
180 days after the date the student otherwise became ineligible. Table 
A provides that an institution must receive a valid SAR or valid ISIR 
no later than 180 days after its determination of a student's 
withdrawal or, for a student who did not withdraw, 180 days after the 
date the student otherwise became ineligible, but not later than 
September 28, 2010.

Table B--Federal Pell Grant, ACG, and National SMART Grant Programs 
Submission Dates for Disbursement Information by Institutions

    Table B provides the earliest submission and deadline dates for 
institutions to submit Federal Pell Grant, ACG, and National SMART 
Grant disbursement records to the Department's Common Origination and 
Disbursement (COD) System and deadline dates for requests for 
administrative relief if the institution cannot meet the established 
deadline for specified reasons.
    In general, an institution must submit Federal Pell Grant, ACG, or 
National SMART Grant disbursement records no later than 30 days after 
making a Federal Pell Grant, ACG, or National SMART Grant disbursement 
or becoming aware of the need to adjust a student's previously reported 
Federal Pell Grant, ACG, or National SMART Grant disbursement. In 
accordance with the regulations in 34 CFR 668.164, we consider that 
Federal Pell Grant, ACG, and National SMART Grant funds are disbursed 
on the date that the institution: (a) Credits those funds to a 
student's account in the institution's general ledger or any subledger 
of the general ledger, or (b) pays those funds to a student directly. 
We consider that Federal Pell Grant, ACG, and National SMART Grant 
funds are disbursed even if an institution uses its own funds in 
advance of receiving program funds from the Department. An 
institution's failure to submit disbursement records within the 
required 30-day timeframe may result in an audit or program review 
finding. In addition, the Secretary may initiate an adverse action, 
such as a fine or other penalty for such failure.

Table C--Federal Pell Grant Disbursement Information for a Payment 
Period That Occurs in Two Award Years (Crossover Payment Period)

    Table C provides the deadline dates regarding when the receipt of 
information requires the institution to assign a student's 2010 
crossover payment period that occurs in the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 
award years to the award year in which the student would receive a 
greater Federal Pell Grant payment for the payment period.
    In accordance with 34 CFR 690.64, as amended by the final 
regulations published on October 29, 2009, and effective on July 1, 
2010 (74 FR 55902, 55951), an institution must, regardless of a 
student's enrollment status, assign a crossover payment period (a 
payment period that includes both June 30 and July 1) to the award year 
in which the student would receive the greater payment for the 
crossover payment period based on the information available at the time 
the student's Federal Pell Grant is initially calculated. Table C sets 
a September 10, 2010 deadline for the receipt of any information that 
would require an institution to reassign the 2010 crossover payment 
period to the award year providing the greater payment. During the 
subsequent period of time but not later than February 1, 2011, an 
institution may establish a policy concerning reassignment of the 2010 
crossover payment period (74 FR 55922).
    It is important to note that for the 2010 transition crossover 
payment period only, an institution is not required to award a Federal 
Pell Grant to a student from the award year that will provide the 
greater payment if the institution established a written crossover 
payment period policy prior to July 1, 2010 and under that policy a 
student would be awarded a Federal Pell Grant from the 2009-2010 award 
year without applying the regulations as amended on October 29, 2009 
(74 FR 55904).
