Federal Family Education Loan Program; Final Rule
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

34 CFR Part 682

RIN 1840-AA96

 
Federal Family Education Loan Program

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Final regulations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections and other technical changes 
to the final regulations for the Federal Family Education Loan Program 
which were published in the Federal Register on December 18, 1992 (57 
FR 60280). The regulations govern the Federal Stafford Loan Program, 
the Federal Supplemental Loans for Students (Federal SLS) Program, the 
Federal PLUS Program and the Federal Consolidation Loan Program, 
collectively referred to as the Federal Family Education Loan Program.


EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations take effect either 45 days after 
publication in the Federal Register or later if the Congress takes 
certain adjournments, with the exception of Sec. 682.209. Section 
682.209 will become effective after the information collection 
requirements contained in this section have been submitted by the 
Department of Education and approved by the Office of Management and 
Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980. A document announcing 
the effective date will be published later in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pamela Moran or Patricia Beavan, 
Policy Section, Loans Branch, Policy Development Division, Policy, 
Training, and Analysis Service, Department of Education, 400 Maryland 
Avenue SW., (room 4310, ROB-3) Washington, DC 20202. Telephone 202-732-
8242. Individuals who use a telecommunication device for the deaf (TDD) 
may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 
between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final regulations make corrections to 
the final regulations published on December 18, 1992, which contained 
several self-implementing provisions of the Higher Education Amendments 
of 1992 (1992 Amendments) (enacted July 23, 1992) (Pub. L. 102-325). 
The regulations also include two changes made to those self-
implementing provisions by the Higher Education Technical Amendments of 
1993 (Technical Amendments of 1993) (Pub. L. 102-208) (enacted December 
20, 1993).

Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

    It is the practice of the Secretary to offer interested parties the 
opportunity to comment on proposed regulations. However, with the 
exception of two changes made to reflect self-implementing provisions 
of the Technical Amendments of 1993, all other provisions in this 
regulation reflect corrections to the Federal Family Education Loan 
Program (FFEL) regulations published on December 18, 1992. The FFEL 
regulations published on December 18, 1992 were the subject of 
extensive public comment prior to the publication. The Secretary has 
also consulted with and received extensive written comments from 
members of the higher education community in the development of the 
corrections to the December 18, 1992 regulations and believes that 
public comment on these technical corrections for publication of 
regulations does not warrant the solicitation of further public 
comment. Moreover, the Secretary believes that it is important to have 
these technical corrections reflected in the Department's regulations 
as soon as possible. Therefore, the Secretary finds that such a 
solicitation would be unnecessary and contrary to the public interest 
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
