The William D Ford Federal Direct Loan
Program regulations cover areas of program administration. These
regulations are in place to minimize administrative burden for
program participants, to determine eligibility for and provide
program benefits to borrowers, and to prevent fraud and abuse of
program funds to protect the taxpayers' interests. This request is
for continued approval of reporting and recordkeeping related to
the administrative requirements of the Direct Loan
program.
The Department is requesting an
extension without change to the number of responses or burden hours
for Information Collection number OMB 1845-0021. The regulatory
language remains in place without change. The total number of
respondents, responses, and burden hours remain the same. The
distribution of the respondents, responses, and burden hours has
been adjusted to more accurately reflect the reporting
categories.
