Federal Direct Loan Program Regulations for Forbearance and Loan Rehabilitation

OMB 1845-0119 · ED/FSA.

OMB 1845-0119

This information collection for the Direct Loan (DL) Program regulations is related to regulations for forbearance in §685.205 and reasonable and affordable loan rehabilitation in §685.211. The Department of Education is requesting an extension without change of the current burden calculated for this information collection. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and loan payment pause, there is not sufficient information to estimate burden changes. These regulations provide additional flexibilities for DL borrowers and permit oral requests for forbearance, as well as allow a borrower to object to the initially established reasonable and affordable loan repayment amount. In addition, if a borrower incurs changes to his or her financial circumstances, the borrower can provide supporting documentation to change the amount of the reasonable and affordable loan monthly repayment amount. There has been no change to the regulatory language.
