The Department of Education (Department) is requesting an emergency clearance for this revision of the information collection, 1845-0110. The Department will initiate the 60-day public comment period within 180 days of notification of emergency approval.
Final Regulations published on October 31, 2025 (90 FR 48966), 34 CFR 685.219(i) require an update to the currently approved Public Service Loan Forgiveness Certification and Application, to comply with E.O. 14325, by revising the certification language to include an attestation, under penalty of perjury, that the employer has not engaged in any activity that has a substantial illegal purpose on or after July 1, 2026. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) signed into law on July 4, 2025 also made statutory changes that indirectly impact this collection by revising the loan repayment plans that qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, which are in effect July 1, 2026.
