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 
law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform 
its statutory obligations. The IC Clearance Official, Regulatory 
Information Management Services, Office of Management, publishes that 
notice containing proposed information collection requests prior to

collection, grouped by office, contains the following: (1) Type of 
review requested, e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 
reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4) 
Description of the need for, and proposed use of, the information; (5) 
Respondents and frequency of collection; and (6) Reporting and/or 
Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites public comment.

    Abstract: The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 established the 
Office of Student Financial Assistance (SFA) as the Government's first 
Performance-Based Organization (PBO). That legislation specifies that 
one purpose of the PBO is to improve program services and processes for 
students and other participants in the student financial assistance 
programs. This requirement establishes an ongoing need for SFA to be 
engaged in an interactive process of collecting information and using 
it to improve the delivery of student financial assistance.
