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
the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal

of Management, publishes that notice containing proposed information

Title: FFEL Program IBR Plan Request and IBR Plan Alternative
Documentation of Income.

Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
Responses: 1,692,869.

Abstract: The IBR Plan Request form serves as the means by which a
borrower with FFEL Program loans requests to repay those loans under
the IBR Plan and provides certain information that is needed by the
borrower's loan holder to determine whether the borrower is eligible to
repay under the IBR Plan and to calculate the borrower's monthly
payment amount under the IBR Plan. The IBR Plan Alternative
Documentation of Income form serves as the means by which a borrower
who is repaying FFEL Program loans under the IBR provides the
borrower's loan holder with alternative documentation of the borrower's
income if the borrower's adjusted gross income (AGI) is not available
from the IRS, or if the loan holder believes that the borrower's most
recently reported AGI does not accurately reflect the borrower's
current income. Under the FFEL Program regulations, a borrower's AGI is
used to calculate the monthly loan payment amount under the IBR Plan.
