FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
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: Education
Stabilization Fund—Elementary and
Secondary School Emergency Relief
Fund (ESSER I/ESSER II/ARP ESSER
Fund) Recipient Data Collection Form.
OMB Control Number: 1810–0749.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 14,652.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 2,051,943.
Abstract: Under the current
unprecedented national health
emergency, the legislative and executive
branches of government have come
together to offer relief to those
individuals and industries affected by
the COVID–19 virus under the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security (CARES) Act (Pub. L. 116–136)
authorized on March 27, 2020, and
expanded through the Coronavirus
Response and Relief Supplemental
Appropriations (CRRSA) Act, and the
American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act. The
ESSER Fund awards grants to SEAs and
for the purpose of providing local
educational agencies (LEAs), including
charter schools that are LEAs, as well as
Outlying Areas, with emergency relief
funds to address the impact that Novel
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19)
has had, and continues to have, on
elementary and secondary schools
across the Nation. This information
collection requests emergency approval
for a revision to a previously approved
collection that includes annual
reporting requirements to comply with
the requirements of the ESSER program
and obtain information on how the
funds were used by State and Local
Education Agencies. Emergency
processing is necessary to provide states
with sufficient time to collect the
required data regarding the use of SEA
reserve funds. Retrospectively creating
this data after the activities have
concluded is much more burdensome
than prospectively collecting the data as
the activities occur. The form currently
collects information regarding the use of
SEA reserve funds at the LEA level.
However, questions addressing SEA use
of Reserve Funds were not included in
the forms submitted for 60- and 30-day
public comment.
The Department addressed all public
comments from the recently approved
information collection. The only change
to the approved collection is the
additional three questions to address the
use of SEA reserve funds. When
considering your comments, please refer
to Attachment A, which outlines the
additional 3 questions.

Title of Collection: Borrower Defenses
Against Loan Repayment.

change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 150,000.

Abstract: This is a request for an
extension of the current information
collection for Form 1845–0132. The U.S.
Department of Education (ED) continues
to require the collection of this
information from borrowers who believe
they have cause to request the borrower
defense to loan repayment forgiveness
of a student loan as noted in regulation
in 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher
Education Act (HEA) (Sec. 455(h)). This
burden continues to be necessary to
ensure Heald, Everest and/or WyoTech
College borrowers who wish to invoke
the borrower defense against repayment
of federal student loans can do so in a
uniform and informed manner.

Respondents/Affected Public: Private
Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 10.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 5.
Abstract: The regulations in 34 CFR
668.28 provide that a proprietary
institution must derive at least 10% of
its annual revenue from sources other
than Title IV, HEA funds, identifies
sanctions for failing to meet this
requirement, and otherwise implement
the statute. An institution discloses in a
footnote to its audited financial
statements the amounts of Federal and
non-Federal revenues, by category, that
it used in calculating its 90/10 ratio (see
section 487(d) of the HEA).
The publication of final regulations
on September 2, 2020, removed section
668.285(b) regarding Net Present Value
in the calculation of the 90/10 ratio and
reserved this subparagraph as of the
effective date of the regulation, July 1,
2021. With the cancellation of the
requirement to calculate the Net Present
Value, we are revising the current
information collection to estimate the
burden for the reporting of the sanction
to the Department only.
This request is to revise the currently
approved a information collection
package, OMB Control Number 1845–
0096, to include burden hours based on
section 668.28(c) Sanctions. The
information collection requirements in
the regulations are necessary to
determine eligibility to receive program
benefits and to prevent fraud and abuse
of program funds.
