    Abstract: The Department of Education (the Department) is 
requesting an extension without change of the current record keeping 
information collection. There has been no change in either the statute 
as provided by the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) or in 
the regulations. The regulations identify the requirements under which 
an institution must readmit servicemembers with the same academic 
status they held at the institution when they last attended (or were 
accepted for attendance). The regulations require institutions to 
charge readmitted servicemembers, for the first academic year of their 
return, the same institutional charges they were charged for the 
academic year during which they left the institution (see section 484C 
of the HEA).
