The Department of Education is seeking public comments on its proposal to extend, without change, the approval for a collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This information collection, titled "Reaffirmation Agreement," relates to loans under the Federal Family Education Loan Program and the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. The public is invited to submit their comments on whether this collection is necessary, accurate, and how it might be improved to reduce the burden on responders, by April 26, 2021. This is part of the Department’s efforts to ensure that its information collection requirements are clear and not overly burdensome to the public.
Simple Explanation
The Education Department wants to keep asking people about a promise they make to pay back student loans, but they are checking if it's still a good idea and if it bothers people too much. They are asking everyone for ideas on how to make this promise-checking easier and less confusing.
