Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 172 / Thursday, September 7, 2023 / Notices 61579 

resulting in Final Rule for the Public 

Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) 

Program that were published in the 

Federal Register on November 1, 2022 

(87 FR 65904) and continue to be 

codified in 34 CFR 685.219. Concurrent 

with these new regulations, the 

Department implemented the ability for 

the borrower and employer to digitally 

sign and submit the PSLF Form 

electronically through our Digital 

Platform. The PSLF form was 

redesigned to encourage the use of the 

new signature options and align the 

instructions on the form to mimic the 

user experience connected to the online 

submission. This new form will not be 

available until the regulations become 

effective on July 1, 2023.

Title of Collection: Federal Direct

Forgiveness Forms. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0059. 

Type of Review: An extension without 

change of a currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public:

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 8,700. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: Sections 460 and 428J of the 

Higher Education Act of 1965, as 

amended (HEA) provide for teacher loan 

forgiveness in William D. Ford Federal 

Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program and 

the Federal Family Education Loan 

(FFEL) Program. Borrowers who teach 

for five consecutive years at schools or 

educational service agencies serving 

low-income families and meet certain 

other requirements may receive up to 

$17,500 in loan forgiveness. The teacher 

loan forgiveness regulations at 34 CFR 

685.217 (for the Direct Loan Program) 

and 34 CFR 682.216 (for the FFEL 

Program) require borrowers to provide 

their loan holders with documentation 

establishing their eligibility for teacher 

loan forgiveness and for teacher loan 

forgiveness forbearance. The U.S. 

Department of Education (ED) is 

requesting an extension of the currently 

approved forms. To reflect regulatory 

changes made by a final rule published 

on November 1, 2022 (87 FR 65904), we 

have updated language related to the 

capitalization of unpaid interest that 

accrues during periods of forbearance. 

ED is otherwise making no substantive 

changes to the language in either of the 

two currently approved forms, and there 

are no changes to the data elements.
