information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Federal Direct
Consolidation Loan Program
Application Documents
OMB Control Number: 1845–0053
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private
sector, individuals or households
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 2,430,000
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 575,100
Abstract: This collection of
information includes the following
documents: (1) Federal Direct
Consolidation Loan Application and
Promissory Note (Application and
Promissory Note); (2) Instructions for
Completing the Federal Direct
Consolidation Loan Application and
Promissory Note (Instructions);
(3)Additional Loan Listing Sheet; (4)
Request to Add Loans; and (5) Loan
Verification Certificate (LVC).
The Application and Promissory Note
serves as the means by which a
borrower applies for a Federal Direct
Consolidation Loan and promises to
repay the loan. The Instructions explain
to the borrower how to complete the
Application and Promissory Note. The
Additional Loan Listing Sheet provides
additional space for a borrower to list
loans that he or she wishes to
consolidate, if there is insufficient space
on the Application and Promissory
Note. The Request to Add Loans serves
as the means by which a borrower may
add other loans to an existing Federal
Direct Consolidation Loan within a
specified time period. The LVC serves
as the means by which the U.S.
Department of Education obtains the
information needed to pay off the
holders of the loans that the borrower
wants to consolidate.
This revision updates the forms to
reflect certain statutory and regulatory
changes revises language for greater
clarity and for greater consistency with
other Direct Loan Program promissory
notes.

l. Project Description: The Antrim
Micro-Hydropower Project would
consist of the following existing
features: (1) A 0.25-acre-foot collection
pond; (2) a 12-inch-diameter, 435-footlong polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe that
conveys raw water from a collection
pond to a 60-foot-diameter concrete
clarifier with a capacity of 33,500 cubic
feet in a treatment plant,1 (3) a 12-inchdiameter, 143-foot-long high-density
polyethylene (HDPE) pipe to convey
treated water from the treatment plant to
a forebay; (4) a 12-inch-diameter, 155foot-long HDPE pipe connected to the
12-inch-diameter PVC pipe to bypass
raw water to the forebay during high
flow conditions or plant maintenance;
(5) a forebay with a net storage capacity
of 6,000 cubic feet; (6) an 18-inchdiameter, 972-foot-long penstock from
the forebay to the powerhouse; (7) a
powerhouse with two identical impulse
turbine-generator units with a combined
rated capacity of 40 kilowatts; (8) a 75foot-long tailrace to convey flows from
the powerhouse to an unnamed
tributary to Bridge Run; (9) a 1,300-footlong, 460-volt buried transmission line;
and (10) appurtenant facilities. The
project is estimated to generate an
average of 250 megawatt-hours
annually.
The applicant currently operates one
turbine as an off-grid project, and
proposes to bring the other turbine
(currently in place but non-operational)
online by additional indoor wiring
within the existing powerhouse and the
treatment plant, and operate both
turbines as a grid-connected project.
