Enrollment in the Federal Student Aid (FSA) Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) allows eligible entities to securely exchange Title IV, Higher Education Act (HEA) assistance programs data electronically with the Department of Education processors. Organizations establish Destination Point Administrators (DPAs) to transmit, receive, view and update student financial aid records using telecommunication software. Eligible respondents include, but are not limited to, the following institutions of higher education that participate in Title IV, HEA assistance programs, third-party servicers of eligible institutions, Guaranty Agencies, Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) lenders, Federal Loan Servicers, and local educational agencies (LEAs). The Enrollment Form for Post-Secondary Schools and Servicers represents the full complement of questions that must be presented for an organization enrolling in SAIG. The Enrollment Form for State Grant Agencies is a subset of selected questions (from the full complement of questions) to streamline the form for ease of use. This request represents the full 3 year review.

This is a request for an extension of the current information collection package with the burden change as an adjustment to the current collection. There is no change from the current number of respondents and responses and there is a decrease in burden of 1 hour. This is due to the shift in the number of entities in a specific classification and the number of new versus updated forms as well as the use of electronic filing versus paper filings.
