Abstract: The Department of
Education (the Department) requests a
revision of the current information
collection associated with OMB Control
Number 1845–0142 due to an increase
in the number of borrowers asserting a
borrower defense to repayment claim.
The only change to the collection is an
update to increase the number of
respondents, responses and burden
hours.
The regulations in § 685.222 provide
a framework for the borrower defense
individual and group process that
applies to loans first disbursed on or
after July 1, 2017 and before July 1,
2020, including descriptions of the
circumstances under which group
borrower defense claims could be
considered, and the process the
Department will follow for borrower
defenses for a group. The regulations
establish a process for review and
determination of a borrower defense for
groups identified by the Secretary for
which the borrower defense is made
regarding a Direct Loans for attendance
at a closed school that has not provided
financial protection currently available
to the Secretary from which to recover
any losses based on borrower defense
claims, and for which there is no
appropriate entity from which the
Secretary can otherwise practicably
recover such losses. The regulations also
establish the process for groups
identified by the Secretary for which the
borrower defense is asserted with
respect to Direct Loans to attend an
open school.
