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: 2023–2024 Free
Application for Federal Student Aid.
OMB Control Number: 1845–0001.
Type of Review: A revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 33,962,310.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 22,844,712.
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.

The Department will submit an applicant’s record for system-generated corrections to the

type as these are system-based corrections.
Any applicant, with their Data Release Number (DRN), can change the postsecondary institutions listed on their FAFSA form or change their address by calling FSAIC.
The eSAR is an online version of the SAR that is available on fafsa.gov to all applicants
with an FSA ID. Notification for the eSAR is sent to students who applied electronically
or by paper and provided a valid e-mail address. These notifications are sent by e-mail
and include a secure hyperlink that takes the user to the fafsa.gov site.
The SAR Acknowledgement is a condensed paper SAR that is mailed to applicants who
applied electronically but did not provide a valid e-mail address.
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, Simplified Needs Test 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 2023–2024 is based on the
projected total enrollment into postsecondary education for Fall 2023. The
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:46 Feb 23, 2022
Jkt 256001
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 2023–2024, ED is reporting a net
burden decrease of 3,466,325 hours.

Federal Student Aid (FSA), an office of the U.S. Department of

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, Simplified Needs
Test 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 2023-2024
is based on the projected total enrollment into post-secondary
education for Fall 2023. 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 2023-2024, ED is reporting a net burden decrease of 3,466,325
hours.
