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 ED assess the
impact of its information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand ED’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. ED is especially
interested in public comments
addressing the following issues: (1) is

this collection necessary to the proper
function of ED; (2) will this information
be processed and used in a timely
manner; (3) is the estimate of burden
accurate; (4) how might ED enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might ED 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 the Collection: 2024–2025
Free Application for Federal Student
Aid.
OMB Control Number: 1845–0001.
Type of Review: A revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 34,328,439.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 22,417,460.
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
17561
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
FAFSA Submission Report, which is a
summary of the processed data they
submitted on the FAFSA form. The
applicant reviews the FAFSA
Submission Summary, 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 paper FAFSA Submission Summary and mail for processing.
Note that users for whom federal tax information (FTI) was obtained from the IRS will not be able to make corrections to that
data.
An institution can use FPP to correct the FAFSA form ........................
The Department will submit an applicant’s record for system-generated corrections to the FAFSA Processing System. There is no
burden to the applicants under this correction 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 electronic FAFSA Submission Summary is an online version of
the FAFSA Submission Summary that is available on fafsa.gov to
all applicants. Notification for the FAFSA Submission Summary is

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 56 / Thursday, March 23, 2023 / Notices
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 FAFSA Submission
Summary or electronically);
• The type of FAFSA Submission
Summary document the applicant
receives (paper or electronic);
• The formula applied to determine
the applicant’s student aid index (SAI);
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 2024–2025 is based on the
projected total enrollment into postsecondary education for Fall 2024. 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 2024–2025, ED is reporting a net
burden decrease of 427,252 hours.
