The Department of Education (the Department) is seeking to renew OMB control number 1845-0147 for the collection of URLs hosting institutional contracts and contract data relating to campus banking agreements. The Department has created a Cash Management Contract electronic form to allow institutions to report their contract and contract URL to the Department. The Department has also created a central repository for the information provided by the institution that includes the contract data and the web addresses that is publicly available for research and comparison purposes. Both of these are located on studentaid.gov. The database allows interested parties, such as students, families, press, institutions, and researchers to easily access and compare banking agreements available at different institutions.
US Code:
20 USC 164(e)(f)
Name of Law: Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended
The adjustment to the respondent numbers and burden hours are due to a decrease in the number of institutions reporting banking arrangements. It will result in approximately 45 total hours of burden, a decrease of 28 burden hours. The Department continues to estimate that it will take approximately 5 minutes to complete the form. This is based on the formâs brevity.
