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: Part 601 Preferred

OMB Control Number: 1845–0101. 

Type of Review: an extension of an 

existing information collection of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 13,674,883. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 3,197,761. 

Abstract: Part 601—Institution and 

Lender Requirements Relating to 

Education Loans is a new section of the 

regulations governing private education 

loans offered at covered institutions by 

lenders also participating in the FFEL 

program. These regulations assure the 

Secretary that the integrity of the 

program is protected from fraud and 

misuse of program funds and places 

requirements on institutions and 

lenders to insure that borrowers receive 

additional disclosures about Title IV, 

HEA program assistance prior to 

obtaining a private education loan. 

These regulations require covered 

institutions to provide a variety of new 

loan disclosures, disclosures on private 

loans, for institutions to prepare and 

submit an annual report on the use of 

private loans, and to establish and adopt 

a code of conduct for institutions 

participation in a preferred lender 

arrangement. The Department, in 

conjunction with outside entities is 

submitting the Private Education Loan 

Applicant Self-Certification form for 

OMB’s approval. While information 

about the applicant’s cost of attendance 

and estimated financial assistance must 

be provided to the student, if available, 

the student will provide the data to the 

private loan lender who must collect 

and maintain the self-certification form 

prior to disbursement of a Private 

Education Loan. The Department will 

not receive the Private Education Loan 

Applicant Self-Certification form and 

therefore will not be collecting and 

maintaining the form or its data.

Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the SBIR program is four-fold: 

• Stimulate technological innovation 

in the private sector. 

• Encourage participation in 

innovation and entrepreneurship by 

socially and economically 

disadvantaged persons. 

• Strengthen the role of small 

business in meeting Federal research 

and development (R&D) needs. 

• Increase private-sector 

commercialization of innovations 

derived from U.S. Department of 

Education (Department) R&D funding. 

Background 

The Small Business Innovation 

Development Act of 1982 (Act), Public 

Law 97–219, established the SBIR 

program. The Act requires certain 

agencies, including the Department, to 

reserve a statutory percentage of their 

extramural R&D budgets for the threephase SBIR program. 

Phase I awards are to determine, 

insofar as possible, the scientific or 

technical merit, feasibility, and 

commercial potential of R&D projects 

submitted under the SBIR program. 

Phase I awards are for amounts up to 

$75,000 for a period of up to six months. 

Phase II projects continue the 

development of Phase I projects. 

Funding is based on the results 

achieved in Phase I and the scientific 

and technical merit and commercial 

potential of the proposed Phase II 

project. Only Phase I grantees are 

eligible to apply for Phase II funding. 

Phase II awards are for amounts up to 

$500,000 over a period of two years. 

In Phase III, the small business 

grantee pursues commercial 

applications of the Phase I and II R&D. 

The SBIR program does not fund Phase 

III. 

All SBIR projects funded by NIDRR 

must address the needs of individuals 

with disabilities. (See 29 U.S.C. 760.) 

Project activities may include: 

• Conducting manufacturing-related 

R&D that encompasses improvements in 

existing methods or processes, or 

wholly new processes, machines, or 

systems, that benefit individuals with 

disabilities; 

• Exploring the uses of technology to 

ensure equal access to education, 

employment, community environments, 

and information for individuals with 

disabilities; and 

• Improving the quality and utility of 

disability and rehabilitation research. 

Executive Order 13329 states that 

continued technological innovation is 

critical to a strong manufacturing sector 

in the United States economy and seeks 

to ensure that Federal agencies assist the 

private sector in its manufacturing 

innovation efforts. The Department’s
