Abstract: This request is for a revision to the current information collection 1845-0038 that is expiring. This collection pertains to the recordkeeping requirements contained in the regulations related to the administration of 34 CFR 668 Subpart K Cash Management of the Student Assistance General Provisions. The regulatory language has not changed. These program regulations are designed to provide benefits to Title IV, HEA applicants, and to protect the taxpayers interest. The information collection requirements in 34 CFR 668.163 and 668.165 are necessary to provide students with required information about their eligibility to receive funding under the federal student financial aid programs and to prevent fraud and abuse of program funds by allowing students to reduce or reject aid being offered as well as being made aware of when such funding can be expected to be available. The Department is requesting that sections 34 CFR 668.23 and 668.24 which are currently in 1845-0038 be removed and the corresponding 1,260 hours be transferred to 1845-0022. These two sections are not included in Subpart K and are more appropriately a part of 1845-0022. We believe that during the transfer of the information collections from the Office of Postsecondary Education to Federal Student Aid that the regulatory sub sections were incorrectly included in this package. Additionally, the Department is requesting the removal of the 1,750 burden hours currently attributed to 34 CFR 668.167 FFEL Program funds. This is due to the authority to make new Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program being terminated as of July 1, 2010 as a result of the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (SAFRA) that was included in the Health Care and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA).
