Abstract: The Department of

the currently approved information
collection. This information collection
is necessary for loan holders in the
FFEL, Direct Loan, and Perkins Loan
programs to obtain the information that
is needed to determine whether a
borrower qualifies for a closed school or
false certification loan discharge. The
loan discharge regulations in all three
loan programs require borrowers who
seek discharge of their FFEL, Direct
Loan, or Perkins Loan program loans to
request a loan discharge and provide
their loan holders with certain
information in writing. This information
collection includes the following five
loan discharge applications that are
used to obtain the information needed
to determine whether a borrower
qualifies for a closed school discharge,
false certification—ATB, false
certification—disqualifying status, false
certification—unauthorized signature/
unauthorized payment or unpaid refund
loan discharges.
