amended by ED's memoranda to OMB of 5/26/95 and 6/1/95. As ED has
agreed, approval for the new instruction that institutions submit
itemized assessed and outstanding collection costs is conditional
on ED's analysis of the additional burdens imposed by this new
requirement relative to its utility. ED shall report on this
analysis with its next clearance request, and shall recommend
whether to continue collecting the information based on the
analysis.
