notice containing proposed information

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

Title of Collection: Federal Perkins
Loan Program/NDSL Assignment Form.
OMB Control Number: 1845–0048.
Type of Review: Extension.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 14,055.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 7,028.
Abstract: The Federal Perkins Loan
Program allows for assignment of
certain defaulted loans from schools to
continued collection efforts when the
school has exhausted all of its efforts in
recovering an outstanding loan. The
Perkins Assignment Form serves as the
transmittal document in the assignment
of such loans to the Federal
Government. Schools participating in
the Federal Perkins Loan Program,
formerly the National Direct/Defense
Student Loan Program (NDSL),
currently use this form to assign
defaulted loans to the U.S. Department
of Education (the Department) for
collection. These defaulted loans may,
as outlined in 20 U.S.C. 1087cc and
under program regulations 34 CFR
674.50, be assigned to the Federal
government (i.e., U.S. Department of
Education) for collection when the
school has exhausted all efforts in the
recovery of the outstanding loan. In
addition, schools use this form to assign
loans for which a school has approved
a total and permanent disability
discharge request, in accordance with
34 CFR 674.61(b)(2)(v).
