Federal Perkins Loan Program Information Collection Review
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Department of Education is seeking public comments on keeping an existing information collection for the Federal Perkins Loan Program in place without changes. The collection relates to program regulations and reporting obligations tied to Perkins loans. Schools, borrowers, government bodies, and private-sector participants may be affected. The practical issue is paperwork burden: the Department estimates more than 8.2 million annual responses and about 149,369 annual burden hours, and it is asking whether the collection is necessary, useful, accurate, and could be made easier.
