Please note that written comments received in response to this notice will be considered public records. Title of Collection: Student Assistance General Provisions—Subpart K—Cash Management. OMB Control Number: 1845–0049. Type of Review: Revision of an existing collection of information. Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector, Individuals or households, State, Local, or Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 308,445. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 29,516. Abstract: This is a request for the revision of the information collection for the regulations that govern the application for and approval by the Secretary of assessments by a private test publisher or State that are used to measure a student’s skills and abilities to determine eligibility for assistance through the Title IV student financial assistance programs authorized under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, when a student does not have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent. As of July 1, 2012, the new law eliminated all but the completion of a homeschool program as an eligibility alternative previously available. Due to these changes, there is a decreasing pool of student applicants who would be eligible to take a Department approved ability to benefit exam to determine Title IV student aid eligibility.
