[top] Abstract: This request is for an extension of the information collection supporting the policies and reporting requirements contained in subpart E of part 668-Verification and Updating of Student Aid Application Information. Sections 668.53, 668.54, 668.55, 668.56, 668.57, 668.59 and 668.61 contain information collection requirements (OMB control number 1845-0041). This subpart governs the verification and updating of information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which is used to calculate an applicant's Expected Family Contribution (EFC) for purposes of determining an applicant's need for student financial assistance under Title IV of Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The collection of this page 22442 documentation helps ensure that students (and parents in the case of PLUS loans) receive the correct amount of Title IV program assistance by providing accurate information to calculate an applicant's expected family contribution. There has been no change to the regulatory language since the prior information collection filing.

Dated: April 10, 2023.
