Section 483 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) mandates that the Secretary of Education ". . .shall produce, distribute, and process free of charge common financial reporting forms as described in this subsection to be used for application and reapplication to determine need and eligibility of a student for financial assistance. . .". The determination of need and eligibility are for the following title IV, HEA, federal student financial assistance programs: the Federal Pell Grant Program; the Campus-Based programs (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS), and the Federal Perkins Loan Program); the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program; the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant; and the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant. Federal Student Aid, an office of the U.S. Department of Education (the Department), subsequently developed an application process to collect and process the data necessary to determine a student's eligibility to receive title IV, HEA program assistance. The application process involves an applicant's submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). After submission of the FAFSA, an applicant receives a Student Aid Report (SAR), which is a summary of the data they submitted on the FAFSA. The applicant reviews the SAR, and if necessary, will make corrections or updates to their submitted FAFSA data. Institutions of higher education listed by the applicant on the FAFSA also receive a summary of the processed data submitted on the FAFSA which is called the Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR). The Department seeks OMB approval of all application components as a single "collection of information". The aggregate burden will be accounted for under OMB Control Number 1845-0001. This is a request for a revision of the current information.

The Department is projecting a burden increase of 5,790,741 hours. Since there are no substantive changes to the 2018-2019 FAFSA, the burden increase is attributed to the 556,847 increase in annual responses from the prior year and a forecasted increase in FAFSA completion times. Part of the increase in completion time is attributed to the FSA ID authentication process that requires all applicants to now have an FSA ID to increase security and protection of the filer data.The increase in burden is considered an adjustment rather than a program change.
