beneficiary sub-Saharan African
countries. This preferential treatment is
also available for apparel articles
assembled in one or more lesser-
developed beneficiary sub-Saharan
African countries, regardless of the
country of origin of the fabric used to
make such articles, subject to
quantitative limitation. Public Law 114–
27 extended this special rule for lesser-
developed countries through September
30, 2025.
The AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004
provides that the quantitative limitation
for the twelve-month period beginning
October 1, 2020 will be an amount not
to exceed 7 percent of the aggregate
square meter equivalents of all apparel
articles imported into the United States
in the preceding 12-month period for
which data are available. See Section
112(b)(3)(A)(ii)(I) of TDA 2000, as
amended by Section 7(b)(2)(B) of the
AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004. Of this
overall amount, apparel imported under
the special rule for lesser-developed
countries is limited to an amount not to
exceed 3.5 percent of all apparel articles
imported into the United States in the
preceding 12-month period. See Section
112(b)(3)(B)(ii)(II) of TDA 2000, as
amended by Section 6002(a)(3) of
TRHCA 2006. The Annex to Presidential
Proclamation 7350 of October 2, 2000
directed CITA to publish the aggregate
quantity of imports allowed during each
12-month period in the Federal
Register.
For the one-year period, beginning on
October 1, 2020, and extending through
September 30, 2021, the aggregate
quantity of imports eligible for
preferential treatment under these
provisions is 1,856,390,368 square
meters equivalent. Of this amount,
928,195,184 square meters equivalent is
available to apparel articles imported
under the special rule for lesser-
developed countries. Apparel articles
entered in excess of these quantities will
be subject to otherwise applicable
tariffs. These quantities are calculated
using the aggregate square meter
equivalents of all apparel articles
imported into the United States, derived
from the set of Harmonized System lines
listed in the Annex to the World Trade
Organization Agreement on Textiles and
Clothing (ATC), and the conversion
factors for units of measure into square
meter equivalents used by the United
States in implementing the ATC.

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation
of Textile Agreements.

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Third Party
Servicer Data Collection.
OMB Control Number: 1845–0130.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private
Sector; Individuals or Households;
State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 107.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 56.
Abstract: The Department of
Education (the Department) is seeking a
revision of the OMB approval of a Third
Party Servicer Data Form. This form
collects information from third party
servicers. This form is used to validate
the information reported to the
Department by higher education
institutions about the third-party
servicers that administer one or more
aspects of the administration of the Title
IV, HEA programs on an institution’s
behalf. This form also collects
additional information required for
effective oversight of these entities.
There has been no change to the
supporting regulatory language. We
have reevaluated the usage of the form
and there is a resulting decrease in the
number of respondents and burden
hours.
Dated: September 14, 2020.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and
Clearance Governance and Strategy Division,
