The overall burden hours for each remaining category within the information collection have increased proportionally, to reflect the increase in the number of respondents. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.8 On August 19, 2022, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice of the proposed extension of this information collection and provided 60 days for public comment on the proposed renewal, 87 FR 51065 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’). The Commission did not receive any comments on the 60-Day Notice. Burden Statement: Based on the proposed revisions to the estimated aggregate burden as discussed above, the respondent burden for this collection is estimated to be as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 108. Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent: 7,324.5. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 791,046. Frequency of Collection: As applicable. There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection. (Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)

Once a swap is accepted for clearing, the identity of a counterparty’s clearing member is no longer relevant and requiring such a record has the possibility to undermine the anonymity of central clearing. Therefore, those provisions have been deleted from the final rule. Similarly, § 23.504(b)(6)(i) and (ii) have been removed because those records will be captured under the SD and MSP recordkeeping requirement, § 23.201(a)(3), and the Commission believes those records are sufficient.). 8 44 U.S.C. 3512, 5 CFR 1320.5(b)(2)(i) and 1320.8 (b)(3)(vi).

Abstract: The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 established Federal Student Aid (FSA) as the first Performance-Based Organization (PBO). One purpose of the PBO is to improve service to student and other participants in the student financial assistance programs authorized under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, including making those programs more understandable to students and their parents. To do that, FSA has committed to ensuring that all people receive service that matches or exceeds the best service available in the private sector. The legislation’s requires establish an on-going need for FSA to be engaged in an interactive process of collecting information and using it to improve program services and processes. The use of customer surveys and focus groups allows FSA to gather that information from the affected parties in a timely manner so as to improve communications with our product users.
