that the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) provide interested

Federal agencies and the public an early

Officer, publishes that notice containing

proposed information collection

information collection, grouped by

Description of the need for, and

Respondents and frequency of

collection; and (6) Reporting and/or

Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites

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.

Abstract: The Higher Education

Amendments of 1998 established the

That legislation specifies that one

This requirement establishes an ongoing

need for SFA to be engaged in an

that such issuance or assumption is for

some lawful object within the corporate

purposes of the applicant, and

compatible with the public interest, and

is reasonably necessary or appropriate

for such purposes.

The Commission reserves the right to

require a further showing that neither

public nor private interests will be
