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

of information technology. Please note

considered public records.

form serves as the means by which a 

Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL), 

Perkins, or Direct Loan borrower 

requests a military service deferment 

and/or post-active duty student 

deferment and provides his or her loan 

holder with the information needed to 

determine whether the borrower meets 

the applicable deferment eligibility 

requirements. The form also serves as 

the means by which the U.S. 

Department of Education identifies 

Direct Loan borrowers who qualify for 

the Direct Loan Program’s no accrual of 

interest benefit for active duty service 

members.
