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.

    OMB Control Number: 1845-0095.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.

    Abstract: The Department of Education is requesting an extension of 
the current information collection. These regulations identify the 
requirements under which institutions must readmit service members with 
the same academic status they held at the institutions when they last 
attended or where accepted for attendance. The regulations require 
institutions to charge readmitted service members, for the first 
academic year of their return, the same institutions charges they were 
charged for the academic year during which they left the institution to 
fulfill a service requirement in the uniformed services.
