early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB
may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the
extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat

notice containing proposed information collection requests prior to

Abstract: Federal Student Aid, an office of the U.S. Department of
Education, seeks renewal of the registration system within the Student
Aid on the Web, an Internet Portal Web site (hereafter ``The Web
Site''). The Web site makes the college application process more
efficient, faster, and accurate by making it an automated, electronic
process that targets financial aid and college applications. The Web
site uses some personal contact information criteria to automatically
fill out the forms and surveys initiated by the user. The Web site also
provides a database of demographic information that helps Federal
Student Aid target the distribution of financial aid materials to
specific groups of students and/or parents. For example, studies have
shown that providing student financial assistance information to middle
school (or elementary school) students and/or their parents
dramatically increases the likelihood that those students will attend
college. The demographic information from the Web site helps us to
identify potential customers in the middle school age range. The
FAFSA4caster Data Transfer module has been added to the Web site since
its last approval. As with the FAFSA Data Transfer module, data from
the student's MyFSA profile pre-populates the FAFSA4caster--
FAFSA4caster is the U.S. Department of Education's financial aid
estimator tool that determines what type of financial aid the student
is eligible to receive and provides an estimated award amount for each.
The FAFSA4caster data transfer module uses current MyFSA profile
information and, therefore, does not require the collection of
additional data items.
