SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. 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 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: 2020–2021 Free
Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA).
OMB Control Number: 1845–0001.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 40,987,637.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 26,311,037.
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)
and Federal Work-Study (FWS)); the
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan
(Direct Loan) Program; the Teacher
Education Assistance for College and
Higher Education (TEACH) Grant; the
Children of Fallen Heroes Scholarship;
and the Iraq and Afghanistan Service
Grant.
Federal Student Aid (FSA), an office
of the U.S. Department of Education,
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 and processing of the
FAFSA form, an applicant receives a
Student Aid Report (SAR), which is a
summary of the processed data they
submitted on the FAFSA form. 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 form
also receive a summary of processed
data submitted on the FAFSA form
which is called the Institutional Student
Information Record (ISIR).
ED and FSA seek 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 1.

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:
• The total number of applicants that
will potentially apply for federal
student aid;
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:23 Jul 02, 2019
Jkt 247001
• How the applicant chooses to
complete and submit the FAFSA form
(e.g., by paper or electronically);
• How the applicant chooses to
submit any corrections and/or updates
(e.g., the paper SAR or electronically);
• The type of SAR document the
applicant receives (eSAR, SAR
acknowledgment, or paper SAR);
• The formula applied to determine
the applicant’s expected family
contribution (EFC) (full need analysis
formula or Automatic Zero); and
• The average amount of time
involved in preparing to complete the
application.

Submitted by the applicant via fafsa.gov.
The FAA may be using their mainframe computer or software to facilitate the EDE process.
The ABM is largely driven by the
number of potential applicants for the
application cycle. The total application
projection for 2020–21 is based upon
two factors—estimating the growth rate
of the total enrollment into postsecondary education and applying the
growth rate to the FAFSA submissions.
The ABM is also based on the
application options available to students
and parents. ED accounts for each
application component based on
analytical tools, survey information and
other ED data sources.
For 2020–21, ED is reporting a net
burden increase of 2,358,697 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. 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 the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered

Title of Collection: 2020-2021 Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA).
OMB Control Number: 1845-0001.
Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 40,987,637.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 26,311,037.
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) and Federal Work-
Study (FWS)); the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan)
Program; the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher
Education (TEACH) Grant; the Children of Fallen Heroes Scholarship; and
the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant.
Federal Student Aid (FSA), an office of the U.S. Department of
Education, 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 and processing of the
FAFSA form, an applicant receives a Student Aid Report (SAR), which is
a summary of the processed data they submitted on the FAFSA form. 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 form also receive a summary of
processed data submitted on the FAFSA form which is called the
Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR).
ED and FSA seek 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 1.

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:
The total number of applicants that will potentially apply
for federal student aid;
How the applicant chooses to complete and submit the FAFSA
form (e.g., by paper or electronically);
How the applicant chooses to submit any corrections and/or
updates (e.g., the paper SAR or electronically);
The type of SAR document the applicant receives (eSAR, SAR
acknowledgment, or paper SAR);
The formula applied to determine the applicant's expected
family contribution (EFC) (full need analysis formula or Automatic
Zero); and
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 2020-21 is
based upon two factors--estimating the growth rate of the total
enrollment into post-secondary education and applying the growth rate
to the FAFSA submissions. The ABM is also based on the application
options available to students and parents. ED accounts for each
application component based on analytical tools, survey information and
other ED data sources.
For 2020-21, ED is reporting a net burden increase of 2,358,697
hours.
