OMB is particularly interested in comments which: (1) Evaluate whether 
the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of 
the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

    Type of Review: Extension.
    Title of Collection: William D. Ford Federal (Direct Loan) Program

Application and Teacher Loan Forgiveness Forbearance Request.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0059.
    Agency Form Number(s): N/A.

    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 8,700.

    Abstract: These forms serve as the means by which eligible 
borrowers in the Federal Family Education Loan Program and the William 
D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program apply for teacher loan forgiveness 
and request forbearance on their loans while performing qualifying 
teaching service. The Teacher Loan Forgiveness Application is used by 
eligible Federal Family Education Loan and Direct Loan program 
borrowers; borrowers apply for loan forgiveness after they have 
completed five years of qualifying teaching service at a low-income 
elementary school, secondary school, or educational service agency. The 
Teacher Loan Forgiveness Forbearance Request serves as the means by 
which a borrower who intends to apply for teacher loan forgiveness 
requests forbearance (permission to temporarily cease making payments) 
on the loans for which he or she is seeking forgiveness while 
performing qualifying teaching service applies for said loan 
forgiveness.
