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

SUMMARY: On April 13, 1994, the Secretary published a notice in the 
Federal Register (59 FR 17648) announcing relief from certain 
regulatory provisions under student financial aid programs authorized 
under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, for the 
victims of the California earthquake. In that notice the Secretary 
omitted coverage for the victims of the Midwest floods of 1993. This 
notice corrects the April 13 notice to include the Midwest flood 
victims.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Kathy S. Gause, Senior Program 
Specialist, Grants Branch, Division of Policy Development, Policy, 
Training, and Analysis Service, U.S. Department of Education, 400 
Maryland Avenue, S.W., (ROB-3, Room 4018), Washington, D.C. 20202-5447. 
Telephone (202) 708-4690. Individuals who use a telecommunications 
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 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations 
Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-211), enacted February 12, 1994, authorized 
the Secretary to reallocate, for use in award year 1994-1995 only, any 
excess funds under the Federal Perkins Loan and the FWS programs from 
the 1993-94 award year to assist individuals who suffered financial 
harm as a result of the January 1994 earthquake in Southern California 
and other disasters. The Act intended that these funds would be 
reallocated to institutions for use in award year 1994-95 to assist 
students who have been adversely affected by the California earthquake 
of January 1994 and the Midwest floods of 1993.
    The Secretary corrects the April 13 notice to include assistance to 
the victims of the Midwest floods. The Secretary reallocates for use 
during the 1994-95 award year any excess funds under the Federal 
Perkins Loan, the FWS, and the FSEOG programs from the 1993-94 award 
year to institutions that enroll students adversely affected by the 
earthquake in January 1994 and the Midwest floods of 1993 (see Federal 
Register notice published October 6, 1993 for covered Midwest flood 
victims--58 FR 52194). Institutions will be informed of the application 
procedures for obtaining these reallocated funds in a letter issued by 
the Department to financial aid administrators.
    All other information in the April 13, 1994 notice remains 
unchanged.

    Dated: June 23, 1994.
David A. Longanecker,
Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education.
