submitted FAFSA data. Institutions of 

higher education listed by the applicant 

on the FAFSA form also receive a 

summary of processed data submitted 

on the FAFSA form which is called the 

Institutional Student Information 

Record (ISIR). 

ED and FSA seek OMB approval of all 

application components as a single 

‘‘collection of information.’’ The 

aggregate burden will be accounted for 

under OMB Control Number 1845–0001. 

The specific application components, 

descriptions, and submission methods 

for each are listed in Table 1.

(FPP)—Corrections.

An institution can use FPP to correct the FAFSA form ............................................................. Submitted by an FAA 

on behalf of an applicant. 

Internal Department 

Corrections.

The Department will submit an applicant’s record for system-generated corrections to the 

FAFSA Processing System. There is no burden to the applicants under this correction 

type as these are system-based corrections.

These corrections are 

system-generated. 

Federal Student Aid Information Center 

(FSAIC) Corrections.

Any applicant, with their Data Release Number (DRN), can change the postsecondary institutions listed on their FAFSA form or change their address by calling FSAIC.These changes are 

made directly in the 

FPS by an FSAIC 

representative. 

FAFSA Submission 

Summary—electronic.

The electronic FAFSA Submission Summary is an online version of the FAFSA Submission 

Summary that is available on fafsa.gov to all applicants. Notification for the FAFSA Submission Summary is sent to students who applied electronically or by paper and provided 

a valid email address. These notifications are sent by email and include a secure 

hyperlink that takes the user to the fafsa.gov site.

Cannot be submitted 

for processing. 

This information collection also 

documents an estimate of the annual 

public burden as it relates to the 

application process for federal student 

aid. The Applicant Burden Model 

(ABM) measures applicant burden 

through an assessment of the activities 

each applicant conducts in conjunction 

with other applicant characteristics and, 

in terms of burden, the average 

applicant’s experience. Key 

determinants of the ABM include: 

• The total number of applicants that 

will potentially apply for federal 

student aid; 

• How the applicant chooses to 

complete and submit the FAFSA form 

(e.g., by paper or electronically); 

• How the applicant chooses to 

submit any corrections and/or updates 

(e.g., the paper FAFSA Submission 

Summary or electronically); 

• The type of FAFSA Submission 

Summary document the applicant 

receives (paper or electronic); 

• The formula applied to determine 

the applicant’s student aid index (SAI); 

and 

• The average amount of time 

involved in preparing to complete the 

application. 

The ABM is largely driven by the 

number of potential applicants for the 

application cycle. The total application 

projection for 2024–2025 is based on the 

projected total enrollment into postsecondary education for Fall 2024. The 

ABM is also based on the application 

options available to students and 

parents. ED accounts for each 

application component based on 

analytical tools, survey information and 

other ED data sources. 

For 2024–2025, ED is reporting a net 

burden decrease of 427,252 hours.

Act of 1995 (PRA), the U.S. Election 

Assistance Commission (EAC) gives 

notice that it is requesting from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approval for the information 

collection of one Election Supporting 

Technology Evaluation Program form. 

The information collected is to be used 

to improve the quality of electionsupporting technology used in Federal 

elections, and to collect necessary key 

information on election-supporting 

technology manufacturers and their 

systems. Participation in this program is 

voluntary. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

5 p.m. Eastern on Monday, November 

13, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed 

Testing and Certification forms should 

be submitted electronically via https:// 

www.regulations.gov (docket IDs: EAC– 

2023–0002). Written comments on the 

proposed information collection can 

also be sent to the U.S. Election 

Assistance Commission, 633 3rd Street

All requests and submissions should 

be identified by the title of the 

information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title and OMB Number: Application 

for ESTEP Participation, OMB Number 

Pending. 

Purpose: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3501–3520), Federal Agencies must 

obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ 

is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 

CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency 

requests or requirements that members 

of the public submit reports, keep 

records, or provide information to a 

third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

PRA requires Federal agencies to 

provide a 60-day notice in the Federal 

Register concerning each proposed 

collection of information, including 

each proposed extension of an existing 

collection of information, before 

submitting the collection to OMB for 

approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the EAC is publishing 

notice of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

The EAC Election Supporting 

Technology Evaluation Program 

evaluates the security and accessibility 

of election-supporting technologies, 

including electronic poll books, voter 

registration systems, electronic ballot 

delivery systems, and election night 

reporting databases. The program is to 

publish one form. This is to be used to 

collect key information concerning 

election-supporting technology 

manufacturers and their systems. The 

application for participation in the 

Election Supporting Technology 

Evaluation Program collects 

administrative information on new or 

modified election-supporting 

technology systems that are being 

submitted for testing by a registered 

manufacturer. 

This information is collected to 

improve the quality of electionsupporting technology used in federal 

elections. 

Public Comments: We are soliciting 

public comments to permit the EAC to: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary and 

sufficient for the proper functions of the 

Election Supporting Technology 

Evaluation Program. 

• Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of burden for this proposed 

collection, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of information to be collected. 

• Minimize the reporting burden on 

those who are to respond, including the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Please note that comments submitted 

in response to this Notice are public 

record. Before including any detailed 

personal information, you should be 

aware that your submitted comments, 

including your personal information, 

will be available for public review. 

Respondents: Election Supporting 

Technology Manufacturers, State and 

Local Election Officials.
