SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Loan Cancellation 

in the Federal Perkins Loan Program. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0100. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or households; private 

Sector (not-for-profit institutions); State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 123,022. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 46,135. 

Abstract: This is a request for the 

renewal of the OMB approval for the 

recordkeeping requirements contained 

in 34 CFR 674.53, 674.56, 674.57, 

674.58 and 674.59. The information 

collections in these regulations are 

necessary to determine Federal Perkins 

Loan borrower’s eligibility to receive 

certain cancellation benefits and to 

prevent fraud and abuse of program 

funds. The requests for cancellation of 

Perkins Loans are received by the 

institution to determine the eligibility of 

the borrower and their loans for the 

cancellation being requested. The 

recordkeeping requirements are 

imposed to ensure accountability or 

program participants for proper program 

administration and to justify the 

payment of funds by the federal 

government. Not collecting the 

information described would likely 

result in a loss of Federal money due to 

waste, fraud and abuse.
