Abstract: The FUTURE Act allows Federal Student Aid to receive customers' federal tax information (FTI) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) through the Internal Revenue Code §?6103 for the purposes of administering the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form, and income-driven repayment (IDR) plans. Since customers will be required to provide consent for this process, we also need to provide an option for them to revoke consent. This is a request for a new information collection for the form which will allow individuals to revoke previous consent for FTI for the purposes of administration of title IV, Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, student financial aid activities. The paper form is an alternative option to the web flow to revoke consent for the IDR application. There has been a change in the burden estimate. The revocation now only applies to IDR forms and the information is collected for no other purpose than to apply the applicants request to the IDR application and to keep it on file for any subsequent requests.
