Title of Collection: Borrower Defenses 

Against Loan Repayment. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 150,000. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 150,000. 

Abstract: This is a request for an 

emergency collection to facilitate the 

collection of information for borrowers 

who believe they have cause to invoke 

the borrower defenses against 

repayment of a loan as noted in 

regulation. This collection includes Web 

site language that will provide 

minimum information that requests 

need to include for consideration as 

well as a separate specific attestation 

form. These processes are being offered 

to aid in preserving borrowers’ rights 

and to meet the fiduciary 

responsibilities of the federal student 

loan programs. These collections will 

allow the Department of Education to 

inform borrowers and loan servicers of 

the information needed to review and 

adjudicate requests for relief under 

borrower defenses regulations. 

Additional Information: Section 

455(h) of the Higher Education Act of 

1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1087e(h) 

provides that the U.S. Department of 

Education (Department) defines by 

regulation which claims against a school 

constitute defenses to repayment of a 

loan under the Federal Direct Loan 

(Direct Loan) program. Following a 

negotiated rulemaking process, the 

Department published amendments to 

the Direct Loan program regulations on 

December 1, 1994. These regulations 

included borrower defenses specified in 

34 CFR 685.206(c). The regulation, in 

part, states ‘‘(c)(1) [i]n any proceeding to 

collect on a Direct Loan, the borrower 

may assert as a defense against 

repayment, an act or omission of the 

school attended by the student that 

would give rise to a cause of action 

against the school under applicable 

State law.’’ Prior to 2015, the borrower 

defense identified above was rarely 

asserted by any borrowers and no 

specific methods of collecting 

information was defined or found 

necessary. In the 20 years prior, the 

Department received 5 claims for 

borrower defense. Over the last several 

months, the Department has received 

over 1000 such claims due to a building 

debt activism movement as well as the 

notoriety of Corinthian’s collapse, 

creating a need for a clearer process for 

potential claimants. This exponential 

increase in demand was unexpected and 

outside of the Department’s control.
