Abstract: This is a request for an extension of the current OMB approval for the recordkeeping requirements contained in 34 CFR 674.53, 674.56, 674.57, 674.58 and 674.59. The information collections in these regulations are necessary to determine Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins Loan) Program borrower’s eligibility to receive program benefits and to prevent fraud and abuse of program funds. There has been no change to the regulatory requirements. Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the suspension of the collection of loans, the Department lacks sufficient data to allow for more accurate updates to the usage of the regulations.
