Federal Student Aid

Type of Review: Revision.
Title of Collection: 2011-2012 Federal Student Aid Application.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0001.
Agency Form Number(s): N/A.
Frequency of Responses: Weekly; Monthly; Annually.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 35,818,915.
Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 32,239,328.
Abstract: Public Law 89-329, Sections 401-495, the Higher Education
Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), mandates that the Secretary of Education
``* * * shall produce, distribute, and process free of charge common
financial reporting forms as described in this subsection to be used
for application and reapplication to determine the need and eligibility
of a student for financial assistance.''
The determination of need and eligibility are for the following
Title IV, HEA, federal student financial assistance programs: the
Federal Pell Grant Program; the Campus-Based programs; Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Work-Study, and the
Federal Perkins Loan Program; the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan
Program; the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher
Education Grant; and the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant.
Federal Student Aid, an office of the U.S. Department of Education
(hereafter ``the Department''), subsequently developed an application
process to collect and process the data necessary to determine a
student's eligibility to receive Title IV, HEA program assistance. The
application process involves an applicant's submission of the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). After submission of the
FAFSA, an applicant receives a Student Aid Report (SAR) which is a
summary of the data they submitted on the FAFSA. The applicant reviews
the SAR, and, if necessary, will make corrections or updates to their submitted
FAFSA.
