This is a request for extension of
clearance to collect data on HEAL loans such as the cost of the
loans(s) and to determine which lenders may have excessive
delinquencies/defaulted loans. Section 525 of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2014 transferred the collection of the Health
Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) program loans from the US
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the US Department
of Education (ED). To fulfill this mandate, ED requested and
received the transfer of the currently approved forms to a new
collection under Federal Student Aid OMB Control Number prefix
1845. The changes to the approved forms will be to identify ED as
the agency owner of the HEAL loans, identify new contact
information, and minor spelling corrections.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
