Title of Collection: 2015–2016 Federal
Student Aid Application.
OMB Control Number: 1845–0001.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
RespondentsAffected Public:
Individuals.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 44,992,857.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 24,083,155.
Abstract: Section 483 of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended
(HEA), mandates that the Secretary of
Education ‘‘. . . shall produce,
distribute, and process free of charge
common financial reporting forms as
described in this subsection to be used
for application and reapplication to
determine the need and eligibility of a
student for financial assistance . . .’’.
The determination of need and
eligibility are for the following title IV,
HEA, federal student financial
assistance programs: The Federal Pell
Grant Program; the Campus-Based
programs (Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant
(FSEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS),
and the Federal Perkins Loan Program);
the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan
Program; the Teacher Education
Assistance for College and Higher
Education (TEACH) Grant; and the Iraq
and Afghanistan Service Grant.
Federal Student Aid, an office of the
U.S. Department of Education (hereafter
‘‘the Department’’), subsequently
developed an application process to
collect and process the data necessary to
determine a student’s eligibility to
receive title IV, HEA program
assistance. The application process
involves an applicant’s submission of
the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA®). After submission of the
FAFSA, an applicant receives a Student
Aid Report (SAR), which is a summary
of the data they submitted on the
FAFSA. The applicant reviews the SAR,
and, if necessary, will make corrections
or updates to their submitted FAFSA
data. Institutions of higher education
listed by the applicant on the FAFSA

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 166 / Wednesday, August 27, 2014 / Notices
also receive a summary of processed
data submitted on the FAFSA which is
called the Institutional Student
Information Record (ISIR).
The Department seeks OMB approval
of all application components as a
single ‘‘collection of information’’. The
aggregate burden will be accounted for
51145
under OMB Control Number 1845–0001.
The specific application components,
descriptions and submission methods
for each are listed in Table one.

This information collection also
documents an estimate of the annual
public burden as it relates to the
application process for federal student
aid. The Applicant Burden Model
(ABM), measures applicant burden
through an assessment of the activities
each applicant conducts in conjunction
with other applicant characteristics and
in terms of burden, the average
applicant’s experience. Key
determinants of the ABM include:
b The total number of applicants that
will potentially apply for federal
student aid;
b How the applicant chooses to
complete and submit the FAFSA (e.g.,
by paper or electronically via FOTW®);
b How the applicant chooses to
submit any corrections andor updates
(e.g., the paper SAR or electronically via
FOTW Corrections);
b The type of SAR document the
applicant receives (eSAR, SAR
acknowledgment, or paper SAR);
b The formula applied to determine
the applicant’s expected family
contribution (EFC) (full need analysis
formula, Simplified Needs Test or
Automatic Zero); and
b The average amount of time
involved in preparing to complete the
application.
The ABM is largely driven by the
number of potential applicants for the
application cycle. The total application
projection for 2015–2016 is based upon
two factors—estimates of the total
enrollment in all degree-granting
institutions and the percentage change
in FAFSA submissions for the last
completed or almost completed
application cycle. The ABM is also
based on the application options
available to students and parents. The
Department accounts for each
application component based on web
trending tools, survey information, and
other Department data sources.
For 2015–2016, the Department is
reporting a net burden decrease of
2,081,212 hours.

Abstract: Section 483 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended (HEA), mandates that the Secretary of Education ``. . . shall
produce, distribute, and process free of charge common financial
reporting forms as described in this subsection to be used for
application and reapplication to determine the need and eligibility of
a student for financial assistance . . .''.
The determination of need and eligibility are for the following
title IV, HEA, federal student financial assistance programs: The
Federal Pell Grant Program; the Campus-Based programs (Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work-Study
(FWS), and the Federal Perkins Loan Program); the William D. Ford
Federal Direct Loan Program; the Teacher Education Assistance for
College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant; and the Iraq and
Afghanistan Service Grant.
Federal Student Aid, an office of the U.S. Department of Education
(hereafter ``the Department''), subsequently developed an application
process to collect and process the data necessary to determine a
student's eligibility to receive title IV, HEA program assistance. The
application process involves an applicant's submission of the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA[supreg]). After submission
of the FAFSA, an applicant receives a Student Aid Report (SAR), which
is a summary of the data they submitted on the FAFSA. The applicant
reviews the SAR, and, if necessary, will make corrections or updates to
their submitted FAFSA data. Institutions of higher education listed by
the applicant on the FAFSA
[[Page 51145]]
also receive a summary of processed data submitted on the FAFSA which
is called the Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR).
The Department seeks OMB approval of all application components as
a single ``collection of information''. The aggregate burden will be
accounted for under OMB Control Number 1845-0001. The specific
application components, descriptions and submission methods for each
are listed in Table one.

[ballot] The formula applied to determine the applicant's expected
family contribution (EFC) (full need analysis formula, Simplified Needs
Test or Automatic Zero); and
[ballot] The average amount of time involved in preparing to
complete the application.
The ABM is largely driven by the number of potential applicants for
the application cycle. The total application projection for 2015-2016
is based upon two factors--estimates of the total enrollment in all
degree-granting institutions and the percentage change in FAFSA
submissions for the last completed or almost completed application
cycle. The ABM is also based on the application options available to
students and parents. The Department accounts for each application
component based on web trending tools, survey information, and other
Department data sources.
For 2015-2016, the Department is reporting a net burden decrease of
2,081,212 hours.
