The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:Comments
A 60day public comment Notice was published in the Federal Register on March 27, 2008. This comment period ended May 25, 2008. No public comments were received.
Description: Currently, the Corporation is soliciting comments concerning the proposed renewal of its Forbearance Request for National Service Form. This form or the electronic equivalent are used by AmeriCorps members to request a postponement, during their term of service, of their obligation to make payment on qualified student loans while they are earning a minimal living allowance in their national service position. The form provides proof that the borrower is serving in an approved national service position, thereby meeting the criteria for the mandatory forbearance based on national service. The form has a ``Manual'' version generated from the online request when the institution is not registered online, which provides the AmeriCorps member's electronic signature. The nonelectronic version provides a space for the member and the authorized program official to sign.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.
Title: Forbearance Request for National Service Form.
OMB Number: 30450030.

Affected Public: Individuals who have enrolled in a term of national service who wish to postpone loan payments on qualified loans while they serve.
