Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal

corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Title of Collection: Student Assistance General Provisions—Subpart K—Cash Management.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0038.
Type of Review: Reinstatement without change of a previously approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individual and Households; State, Local, and Tribal Governments; Private Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 19,605,555.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 861,393.
Abstract: This request is for a reinstatement without change of the current information collection 1845-0038. This collection pertains to the recordkeeping requirements contained in the regulations related to the administration of the Subpart K—Cash Management section of the Student Assistance General Provisions. The regulatory language has not changed.
These program regulations are designed to provide benefits to title IV, HEA applicants, and protect the taxpayers' interest. The information collection requirements in these regulations are necessary to provide students with required information about their eligibility to receive funding under the federal student financial aid programs. The collection requirements help prevent fraud and abuse of program funds by allowing students to reduce or reject aid being offered to them as well as being made aware of when funding can be expected to be available.

Program and Management Analyst, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development.
