Approved with
the understanding that ED will substantially revise this form,
taking into account comments from NCHELP and TG and changes
resulting from the Higher Education Reconciliation Act (HERA), when
the Higher Education Act (HEA) is reauthorized. Also, OMB notes
that ED has not complied with the existing terms of clearance for
this collection, which required ED to submit change worksheets to
adjust the burden for this package as the agency transitioned from
the old form (1845-0051).
