Abstract: This request is for an
extension of the information collection
supporting the policies and reporting
requirements contained in subpart E of
part 668—Verification and Updating of
Student Aid Application Information.
Sections 668.53, 668.54, 668.55, 668.56,
668.57, 668.59 and 668.61 contain
information collection requirements
(OMB control number 1845–0041). This
subpart governs the verification and
updating of information provided on the
Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) which is used to calculate
an applicant’s Expected Family
Contribution (EFC) for purposes of
determining an applicant’s need for
student financial assistance under Title
IV of Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended (HEA). The collection of this
documentation helps ensure that
students (and parents in the case of
PLUS loans) receive the correct amount
of Title IV program assistance by
providing accurate information to
calculate an applicant’s expected family
contribution. There has been no change
to the regulatory language since the
prior information collection filing.
