accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered
public records.

Abstract: The Preauthorized Debit Account Brochure and Application
(PDA Application) serves as the means by which an individual with a
defaulted federal education debt (student loan or grant overpayment)
that is held by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) requests and
authorizes the automatic debiting of payments toward satisfaction of
the debt from the borrower's checking or savings account. The PDA
Application explains the automatic debiting process and collects the
individual's authorization for the automatic debiting and the bank
account information needed by ED to debit the individual's account.
Dated: July 8, 2015.

Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of
the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management.
