OMB Control Number: 1845–0131. Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 6,671,000. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,667,750. Abstract: Federal Student Aid (FSA) requests extension of the Person Authentication Service (PAS) which creates an FSA ID, a standard user name and password solution. In order to create an FSA ID to gain access to certain FSA systems (FAFSA on the Web, NSLDS, StudentLoans.gov, etc.) a user must register on-line for an FSA ID account. The FSA ID allows the customer to have a single identity, even if there is a name change or change to other personally identifiable information. The information collected to create the FSA ID enables electronic authentication and authorization of users for FSA web-based applications and information and protects users from unauthorized access to user accounts on all protected FSA sites.
