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

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed,

is described below. The Department of

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

might the Department minimize the

Title of Collection: Income Driven 

Repayment Plan Request for the William 

D. Ford Federal Direct Loans and 

Federal Family Education Loan 

Programs. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0102. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 6,090,000. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The Department is 

requesting an extension of the current 

information collection. The Department 

files this request with the same total 

annual number of respondents for this 

renewal collection as was used in the 

prior filing. Due to the effects of the 

COVID–19 pandemic and the 

suspension of the collection of loans, 

the Department lacks sufficient data to 

allow for more accurate updates to the 

usage of these forms. There has been no 

change in the underlying statutes or 

regulations which support these request 

forms.
