This information collection will be used to invite IHEs to complete an application questionnaire to participate in Federal Student Aid’s (FSA) Next Generation Financial Services Environment—Payment Vehicle Account (PVA) program pilot as well as a follow-on questionnaire used to ask pilot progress questions to gauge early pilot progress. We are requesting that the full clearance package be filed and that the 60 day public comment period be initiated at this time.
