Abstract: The HEAL forms are required for lenders to make application to the HEAL insurance program, to report accurately and timely on loan actions, including transfer of loans to a secondary agent, and to establish the repayment status of borrowers who qualify for deferment of payments using form 508. The reports assist in the diligent administration of the HEAL program, protecting the financial interest of the federal government.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Department is requesting an extension of the currently approved information collection for HEAL forms 504 and 508 as well as the two data sets, Borrower Loan Status Updates and Loan Purchases and Consolidation. We are decreasing the total number of respondents to 21 from 96 (-75), responses to 69 from 167 (-98) and burden hours to 11 from 24 (-13). These changes are due to a decrease in HEAL servicer participation and the reduced number of borrowers who were in a deferred status at the end of FY17.
