Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a program change increase of 564,125 hours due to the elimination of the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program that resulted from PL 111-152, Section 2201. This change means that all PLUS loans are now made through the Direct Loan Program which accounts for the large respondent increase. Please note that none of this increase is due to the form revisions, as the initial time estimate of 0.5 hours (30 minutes) for completion was generous, meaning that the few additional items do not increase the estimated form time completion.
