The abstract incorrectly included language about forbearances when the collection request is about deferments. The corrected abstract should read: These forms serve as the means by which borrowers in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan), Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) and the Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins Loan) Programs may request deferment of repayment on their loans if they meet certain statutory and regulatory criteria. The U.S. Department of Education and other loan holders uses the information collected on these forms to determine whether a borrower meets the eligibility requirements for the specific deferment type being submitted. For greater simplicity and to make it easier to maintain consistency among the various deferment forms, the Department is consolidating all the current deferment forms into a single collection under OMB No. 1845-0011. This collection is merging the six currently approved deferment forms in 1845-0011 with the military deferment form currently approved under 1845-0080 and the cancer treatment deferment form currently approved under 1845-0154. The Department is requesting a revision of the currently approved deferment forms. The proposed changes include the following: Updating the forms by eliminating duplicative and obsolete information; reordering items to present information in a more logical order that is consistent between forms; using \"plain language\" to present information more clearly and consistently; revising language as necessary to reflect regulatory changes made by the Final Rule published on November 1, 2022.

Additionally, the rule updates exception reporting requirements for very small quantity generators (VSQGs) managing hazardous waste from episodic events, as well as for healthcare facilities and reverse distributors handling hazardous waste pharmaceuticals. It also revises discrepancy reporting requirements for owners and operators of hazardous waste facilities operating under standardized permits.
