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

Title of Collection: Process for FSA ID 

Account Creation for Individuals 

without a Social Security Number in 

Connection with Person Authentication 

Service (PAS). 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0179. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection request. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 3,500. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,155. 

Abstract: The Department of 

Education (Department) requested 

emergency processing for this 

information collection, 1845–0179, 

Process for FSA ID Account Creation for 

Individuals without a Social Security 

Number in Connection with Person 

Authentication Service (PAS); and 

therefore, is requesting the 60-day 

public comment period for the full ICR. 

Applicants, parents, and borrowers 

establish an FSA ID, which includes a 

username and password. The FSA ID is 

used for the purposes of verifying the 

identity of the user; allowing users to 

establish an account with FSA; 

safeguarding their personally 

identifiable and financial information; 

signing applications and loan related 

documents; providing users access to 

their information and applications; 

allowing users to customize or update 

their accounts with FSA; renewing or 

revoking a user’s account with FSA; and 

supporting the Federal Student Aid 

Information Center (FSAIC) help desk 

functions. 

The specific questions that applicants 

are asked to answer in the FSA ID 

creation process are described 

separately in the Creating FSA–ID 

document, which explains the use of the 

questions in the application. As part of 

the standard process, users’ information 

is matched with information from the 

Social Security Administration (SSA) to 

confirm their SSA status. 

In the event of individuals who do not 

have a SSN to match, they are instructed 

to the contact the Department and 

provide one of the following documents 

(U.S. State/Territory Driver’s License; 

U.S. State or City Identification Card; 

Foreign Passport; Municipal 

identification card; Community ID; or a 

Consular identification card) and a 

signed attestation of their identity under 

the penalty of perjury, as instructed by 

the Privacy Act. 

This collection provides the process 

and application that individuals 

without an SSN may use to acquire an 

FSA ID to access the statutory and 

regulatory benefits of the Title IV, HEA 

student financial assistance programs. 

The Department received emergency 

clearance on December 20, 2023, since 

normal clearance processing would not 

enable to implement this critical change 

by the launch of the 2024–25 FAFSA 

form, which would result in no access 

to the FAFSA application for 

individuals who need to get an FSA ID 

without a Social Security Number. Any 

delay in getting access to the FAFSA 

form would increase the potential for 

public harm through delayed access to 

student financial aid and the possibility 

of decreasing the likelihood of 

postsecondary enrollment. As a result, 

in order to meet the late-December 2023 

form launch, the Department requested 

that OMB approve the collection 

associated with non-Social Security 

Number FSA ID account creation 

process using the emergency clearance 

procedures.
