public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed,

information. This helps ED assess the 

impact of its information collection 

requirements and minimize the public’s 

reporting burden. It also helps the 

public understand the ED’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. ED is especially 

interested in public comments 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of ED; (2) will this 

information be processed and used in a 

timely manner; (3) is the estimate of 

burden accurate; (4) how might ED 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(5) how might ED 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: 2015–2016 Federal 

Student Aid Application. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0001. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

RespondentsAffected Public: 

Individuals. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 44,992,857. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 24,083,155. 

Abstract: Section 483 of the Higher 

Education Act of 1965, as amended 

(HEA), mandates that the Secretary of 

Education ‘‘. . . shall produce, 

distribute, and process free of charge 

common financial reporting forms as 

described in this subsection to be used 

for application and reapplication to 

determine the need and eligibility of a 

student for financial assistance . . .’’. 

The determination of need and 

eligibility are for the following title IV, 

HEA, federal student financial 

assistance programs: The Federal Pell 

Grant Program; the Campus-Based 

programs (Federal Supplemental 

Educational Opportunity Grant 

(FSEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS), 

and the Federal Perkins Loan Program); 

the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan 

Program; the Teacher Education 

Assistance for College and Higher 

Education (TEACH) Grant; and the Iraq 

and Afghanistan Service Grant. 

Federal Student Aid, an office of the 

U.S. Department of Education (hereafter 

‘‘the Department’’), subsequently 

developed an application process to 

collect and process the data necessary to 

determine a student’s eligibility to 

receive title IV, HEA program 

assistance. The application process 

involves an applicant’s submission of 

the Free Application for Federal Student 

Aid (FAFSA®). After submission of the 

FAFSA, an applicant receives a Student 

Aid Report (SAR), which is a summary 

of the data they submitted on the 

FAFSA. The applicant reviews the SAR, 

and, if necessary, will make corrections 

or updates to their submitted FAFSA 

data. Institutions of higher education 

listed by the applicant on the FAFSA 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 166 / Wednesday, August 27, 2014 / Notices 51145 

also receive a summary of processed 

data submitted on the FAFSA which is 

called the Institutional Student 

Information Record (ISIR). 

The Department seeks 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 one.

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: 

b The total number of applicants that 

will potentially apply for federal 

student aid; 

b How the applicant chooses to 

complete and submit the FAFSA (e.g., 

by paper or electronically via FOTW®); 

b How the applicant chooses to 

submit any corrections andor updates 

(e.g., the paper SAR or electronically via 

FOTW Corrections); 

b The type of SAR document the 

applicant receives (eSAR, SAR 

acknowledgment, or paper SAR); 

b The formula applied to determine 

the applicant’s expected family 

contribution (EFC) (full need analysis 

formula, Simplified Needs Test or 

Automatic Zero); and 

b 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 2015–2016 is based upon 

two factors—estimates of the total 

enrollment in all degree-granting 

institutions and the percentage change 

in FAFSA submissions for the last 

completed or almost completed 

application cycle. The ABM is also 

based on the application options 

available to students and parents. The 

Department accounts for each 

application component based on web 

trending tools, survey information, and 

other Department data sources. 

For 2015–2016, the Department is 

reporting a net burden decrease of 

2,081,212 hours.
