Approved consistent with the following terms. 1) OMB notes that with this approval, there are now two viable master prom notes for the DL program. This was necessary to make a change to item 8 on the form so that students would have an option to work with their school in developing a request amount for loans in a given year. Schools and students can exercise this option by either utilizing the master prom note covered under this clearance or the master note approved under 1840-0732. 2) Following this clearance, ED will do an analysis of the percentage of respondents using 1840-0732 versus this approval. As a result of this analysis, ED will submit the appropriate burden change sheets so that burden can be properly distributed between the two OMB numbers. 3) With the regular request for clearance, ED will provide a schedule for unifying all of the DL prom notes into a single approval package as soon as possible.
