*Abstract:*                     The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), established the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program under title IV, part B. Section 493C [20 U.S.C. 1098e] of the HEA authorizes income-based repayment for Part B borrowers who have a partial financial hardship. The regulations in 34 CFR 682.215(e)(2) require notifications to borrowers from the loan holders once a borrower establishes a partial financial hardship and is placed in an income-based repayment (IBR) plan by the loan holder. The regulations identify information the loan holder must provide to the borrower to continue to participate in an IBR plan. This is a request for extension without change of the current information collection 1845-0114.
