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

SCRA.

Title of Collection: Federal Student 

Loan Program: Internship/Residency 

and Loan Debt Burden Forbearance 

Forms. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0018. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 2,215,812. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 181,495. 

Abstract: These forms serve as the 

means by which borrowers in the 

William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan 

(Direct Loan), Federal Family Education 

Loan (FFEL) and the Federal Perkins 

Loan (Perkins Loan) Programs may 

request forbearance of repayment on 

their loans if they meet certain 

conditions. The U.S. Department of 

Education and other loan holders uses 

the information collected on these forms 

to determine whether a borrower meets 

the eligibility requirements for the 

specific type of forbearance. The Service 

forbearance (SERV Forb) and the 

Student Loan Debt forbearance (SLDB 

Forb) forms are currently approved 

under OMB No. 1845–0018. The 

General forbearance (GEN Forb) form is 

currently approved under OMB No. 

1845–0031. For greater simplicity and to 

make it easier to maintain consistency 

among the various forbearance forms, 

the Department is consolidating the two 

current collections into a single 

collection under OMB No. 1845–0018. 

This review request merges the number 

of respondents/responses/burden hours 

for both collections.
