Abstract: the Department has undertaken to streamline and simplify the application process for all repayment plans, but in particular the income-driven repayment plans, which include the Income-Based Repayment plan, the Income-Contingent Repayment plan, and the newly regulated Pay As You Earn repayment plan. When the Department set out to combine and streamline the application process for the selection of income-driven repayment plans, our intent was to remove as much language as possible from the Direct Loan Repayment Plan Selection Form (1845-0014) relating to those plans, and place it exclusively in 1845-0102. This was to ensure that borrowers would only need to submit one form to request a repayment plan for all of their eligible loans. Indeed, when the Department submitted the Department specifically called out that burden with 1845-0102 was appearing to increase because it was "being combined with 1845-0014 to the extent that it contained information regarding" income-driven plans. This information was also reflected in the Supporting Statement that was made available to the public. Therefore, the Department specifically solicited public comment on our approach to 1845-0014. The public has had the opportunity to comment on the proposal, no comments have been received to date, and no comments are expected.
