existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: These forms serve as the 

means by which a federal student loan

reason; mainly, that the collection is 

being combined with the collection with

that all loan discharge forms are 

contained in one collection with the 

same OMB Control Number.
