The Department of Education is seeking public comments on extending its current information collection related to the Pell Grant Reporting under the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System. This initiative, in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, aims to assess the impact of reporting requirements and reduce the burden on the public. The Federal Pell Grant program helps students by providing financial assistance for higher education. The Department is interested in feedback on the necessity, timeliness, accuracy, and burden of this information collection, with a deadline for comments set for April 6, 2021.
