Summary of Information Collection
Under the U.S.-International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) Additional
Protocol, the United States is required to
declare a wide range of public and
private nuclear-related activities to the
IAEA and potentially provide access to
IAEA inspectors for verification
purposes. The U.S.-IAEA Additional
Protocol permits the United States
unilaterally to declare exclusions from
inspection requirements for activities
with direct national security
significance.
The clause at 252.204–7010 is
included in contracts for research and
development or major defense
acquisition programs involving
fissionable materials (e.g., uranium,
plutonium, neptunium, thorium,
americium); other radiological source
materials; or technologies directly
related to nuclear power production,
including nuclear or radiological waste
materials.
The clause requires a contractor to
provide written notification to the
applicable DoD program manager and a
copy of the notification to the
contracting officer, if the contractor is
required to report its activities under the
U.S.-IAEA Additional Protocol. Upon
such notification, DoD will determine if
access may be granted to IAEA
inspectors, or if a national security
exclusion should be applied.

Notice of proposed information
collection requests.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Director, Information
Collection Clearance Division, Privacy,
Information and Records Management
Services, Office of Management, invites
comments on the proposed information
collection requests as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: An emergency review has been
requested in accordance with the Act
(44 U.S.C. Chapter 3507 (j)), since
public harm is reasonably likely to
result if normal clearance procedures
are followed. Approval by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has
been requested by December 9, 2011. A
regular clearance process is also
beginning. Interested persons are
invited to submit comments on or before
January 27, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be addressed to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Attention: Education Desk Officer,
Office of Management and Budget, 725

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires
that the Director of OMB provide
interested Federal agencies and the
public an early opportunity to comment
on information collection requests. The
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) may amend or waive the
requirement for public consultation to
the extent that public participation in
the approval process would defeat the
purpose of the information collection,
violate State or Federal law, or
substantially interfere with any agency’s
ability to perform its statutory
obligations. The Director, Information
Collection Clearance Division, Privacy,
Information and Records Management
Services, Office of Management,
publishes this notice containing
proposed information collection
requests at the beginning of the
Departmental review of the information
collection. Each proposed information
collection, grouped by office, contains
the following: (1) Type of review
requested, e.g., new, revision, extension,
existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3)
Summary of the collection; (4)

public comment.
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 respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.

Title: Loan Verification Certificate for
Special Direct Consolidation Loans.
OMB #: Pending.
Abstract: This Loan Verification
Certificate (LVC) will serve as the means
by which the U.S. Department of
Education (the Department) collects
certain information from commercial
holders of Federal Family Education
Loan (FFEL) Program loans that a
borrower wishes to consolidate into the
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan
(Direct Loan) Program under a special
initiative announced by the White
House in an October 25, 2011 fact sheet
titled ‘‘Help Americans Manage Student
Loan Debt.’’ Loans made under this
initiative are known as Special Direct
Consolidation Loans. The information
collected on the LVC includes the
amount needed to pay off the loans that
the borrower wants to consolidate and
other information required by the
Department to make and service a
Special Direct Consolidation Loan.
The purpose of the special
consolidation initiative is to encourage
borrowers who have both commerciallyheld FFEL Program loans and other
loans that are held by the Department
(either Direct Loan Program loans or
FFEL Program loans previously sold to
the Department by a FFEL Program
lender) to consolidate their
commercially-held FFEL Program loans
into the Direct Loan Program. Currently,
these borrowers have at least two loan
servicers and are required to make at
least two separate monthly payments on
E:\FR\FM\28NON1.SGM
28NON1
72918
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 228 / Monday, November 28, 2011 / Notices
their federal education loans. This
makes repayment more difficult and
increases the likelihood of a borrower
becoming delinquent or going into
default. For a borrower who has both
commercially-held FFEL Program loans
and Department-held loans,
consolidation of the commercially-held
loans into the Direct Loan Program will
simplify repayment by allowing the
borrower to make a single monthly loan
payment to one entity (a federal loan
servicer under contract to the
Department), thereby reducing the
likelihood of delinquency or default. As
an incentive for borrowers to
consolidate under the special initiative,
the Department is offering reduced
interest rates on Special Direct
Consolidation Loans.
The Department is requesting
emergency clearance of the Special
Direct Consolidation Loan LVC because
the regular clearance process would
prevent the Department from making
Special Direct Consolidation Loans by
the announced implementation date.
Further, because the statutory authority
under which the Department is
providing the incentives will end on
June 30, 2012, the use of normal
clearance procedures would
significantly shorten the already limited
period during which Special Direct
Consolidation Loans can be offered,
with the result that fewer borrowers
would be able to benefit from the
reduced interest rates offered as part of
the special initiative.

Title: Loan Verification Certificate for Special Direct
Consolidation Loans.
OMB #: Pending.
Abstract: This Loan Verification Certificate (LVC) will serve as
the means by which the U.S. Department of Education (the Department)
collects certain information from commercial holders of Federal Family
Education Loan (FFEL) Program loans that a borrower wishes to
consolidate into the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan)
Program under a special initiative announced by the White House in an
October 25, 2011 fact sheet titled ``Help Americans Manage Student Loan
Debt.'' Loans made under this initiative are known as Special Direct
Consolidation Loans. The information collected on the LVC includes the
amount needed to pay off the loans that the borrower wants to
consolidate and other information required by the Department to make
and service a Special Direct Consolidation Loan.
The purpose of the special consolidation initiative is to encourage
borrowers who have both commercially-held FFEL Program loans and other
loans that are held by the Department (either Direct Loan Program loans
or FFEL Program loans previously sold to the Department by a FFEL
Program lender) to consolidate their commercially-held FFEL Program
loans into the Direct Loan Program. Currently, these borrowers have at
least two loan servicers and are required to make at least two separate
monthly payments on
[[Page 72918]]
their federal education loans. This makes repayment more difficult and
increases the likelihood of a borrower becoming delinquent or going
into default. For a borrower who has both commercially-held FFEL
Program loans and Department-held loans, consolidation of the
commercially-held loans into the Direct Loan Program will simplify
repayment by allowing the borrower to make a single monthly loan
payment to one entity (a federal loan servicer under contract to the
Department), thereby reducing the likelihood of delinquency or default.
As an incentive for borrowers to consolidate under the special
initiative, the Department is offering reduced interest rates on
Special Direct Consolidation Loans.
Additional Information
The Department is requesting emergency clearance of the Special
Direct Consolidation Loan LVC because the regular clearance process
would prevent the Department from making Special Direct Consolidation
Loans by the announced implementation date. Further, because the
statutory authority under which the Department is providing the
incentives will end on June 30, 2012, the use of normal clearance
procedures would significantly shorten the already limited period
during which Special Direct Consolidation Loans can be offered, with
the result that fewer borrowers would be able to benefit from the
reduced interest rates offered as part of the special initiative.
