SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

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 

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: Personal 

Authentication Service (PAS) for FSA

OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households.

Abstract: The HEA provides for a 

maximum amount that a borrower can

borrower receives more than one of 

these maximum amounts, the borrower 

is rendered ineligible for further Title IV 

aid (including Federal Pell Grants, 

Federal Supplemental Educational 

Opportunity Grants, Federal WorkStudy, and Teacher Education 

Assistance for Higher Education 

(TEACH) Grants) unless the borrower 

repays the excess amount or agreed to 

repay the excess amount according to 

the terms and conditions of the 

promissory note that the borrower 

signed. Agreeing to repay the excess 

amount according to the terms and 

conditions of the promissory note that 

the borrower signed is called 

‘‘reaffirmation’’, which is the subject of 

this collection.

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The OSP 

provides low-income students residing 

in the District of Columbia (DC) an 

opportunity to receive a scholarship to 

attend a DC private school of their 

parents’ choice. 

Background: The OSP was established 

in 2004 under the DC School Choice 

Incentive Act of 2003 (School Choice 

Incentive Act) (Title III of Division C of 

the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

2004; Pub. L. 108–199 Stat. 3 (2004)). In 

2011, Congress reauthorized the OSP 

under the Scholarships for Opportunity 

and Results Act (SOAR Act, Division C 

of the Pub. L. 112–10). 

For FY 2015, the Department will 

award one grant to an eligible applicant 

to administer the OSP. The grant will be 

awarded in the form of a cooperative 

agreement between the Department and 

the grantee. This grantee is expected to 

explain in its application, among other 

things, how it would recruit and select 

eligible scholarship applicants in years 

that scholarships are awarded, serve 

scholarship students and families in a 

timely manner, identify and work with 

participating schools, monitor 

compliance of participating schools 

with program and reporting 

requirements, maintain reliable data 

regarding the operation of the program, 

and ensure appropriate coordination 

with the other entities that conduct 

activities related to this program. 

Application Requirements: The 

following requirements are from section 

3005(b) of the SOAR Act and apply to 

all applications submitted by eligible 

entities under this competition. Each 

entity’s application must include a 

detailed description of— 

(A) How the entity will address the 

priorities described in section 3006 of 

the SOAR Act; 

(B) How the entity will ensure that if 

more eligible students seek admission in 

the program of the entity than the 

program can accommodate, eligible 

students are selected for admission 

through a random selection process 

which gives weight to the priorities 

described in section 3006 of the SOAR 

Act; 

(C) How the entity will ensure that if 

more participating eligible students seek 

admission to a participating school than 

the school can accommodate, 

participating eligible students are 

selected for admission through a 

random selection process; 

(D) How the entity will notify parents 

of eligible students of the expanded 

choice opportunities in order to allow 

the parents to make informed decisions;
