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

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed,

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

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Federal Family 

Education Loan (FFEL) Program 

Secured Overnight Financing Rate 

(SOFR) Election Form. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private 

Sector; State, Local, and Tribal 

Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 128. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,048. 

Abstract: The Department of 

Education (ED) is requesting approval of 

a new information collection for the 

FFEL Program SOFR Election form. On 

March 15, 2022, the President signed 

the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act 

into law. Among other things, the law 

amended section 438(b)(2)(I) of the 

Higher Education Act of 1965, as 

amended (HEA). This provision of the 

law requires FFEL Program lenders or 

an entity that holds a beneficial 

ownership interest in a FFEL Program 

loan (beneficial holder) to transition 

away from LIBOR based Special 

Allowance Payments (SAP) to a new 

formula set by the law based on Secured 

Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The 

transition may occur any time on or 

before June 30, 2023. However, a FFEL 

Program lender or beneficial holder 

must transition to the SOFR based SAP 

calculation by July 1, 2023, as a 

condition of continued participation in 

FFEL Program.
