SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department, 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. The Department is soliciting comments on the proposed information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The Department is especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) is this collection necessary to the proper functions of the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:45 Jul 07, 2023 Jkt 259001 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: Loan Discharge Applications (DL/FFEL/Perkins). OMB Control Number: 1845–0058. Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and households; State, local, and Tribal governments; private sector. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 32,761. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 21,376. Abstract: The Department of Education (Department) requested emergency processing for this revised information collection, 1845–0058; and therefore, is requesting the 60-day public comment period for the full ICR. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), established the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program, the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program, and the Federal Perkins (Perkins) Loan programs under title IV, parts B, D, and E, respectively. Section 437(c)(1) of the HEA authorizes the discharge of a FFEL or Direct Loan program loan borrower’s obligation to repay their loan(s) based on school closure or false certification of student eligibility. Section 464(g)(1) of the HEA authorizes the discharge of a Perkins Loan Program loan based on school closure. The Department published a final rule on November 1, 2022 (87 FR 65904) that made significant changes to the regulations governing loan discharge based on school closure and false certification. The Department received emergency clearance on June 28, 2023 since normal processing would not enable the Department to implement the required regulatory changes by July 1, 2023, resulting in several months of delays in providing eligible borrowers with the benefits of the amended loan discharge regulations and not meeting the requirements of the Master Calendar. Any delay in discharging loans for eligible borrowers would increase the potential for public harm through delayed financial relief to borrowers who would qualify for discharge of their loans under the terms of the amended PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 regulations. As a result, in order to meet the July 1, 2023 implementation date as required by the Master Calendar, the Department requested that OMB approve the collection associated with the implementation of the closed school and false certification loan discharge forms using the emergency clearance procedures. Although the Final Rule did not amend the unpaid refund discharge regulations, the unpaid refund discharge application is included with the other forms approved under OMB No. 1845– 0058 and therefore is also covered by this request. This notice allows the public to comment on the full ICR under the 60-day comment period. Dated: July 5, 2023.
