SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary of Education published a 
notice in the Federal Register on January 11, 1994, (59 FR 1616) that 
the Directory was available. The Secretary has revised the Directory 
due to the opening and closing of schools, school name changes, and the 
need for other corrections. These revisions are listed in the 
amendments to the Directory.
    The procedures for selecting the schools that qualify borrowers for 
cancellation benefits are described in the Federal Perkins Loan Program 
regulations at 34 CFR 674.53 and 674.54. The Secretary has determined 
that for the 1993-94 academic year full-time teaching in the schools 
set forth in the Directory and the amendments to the Directory 
qualifies a borrower for cancellation benefits.
    The Secretary is providing the amendments to the Directory to each 
institution participating in the Federal Perkins Loan Program. 
Borrowers and other interested parties may check with their lending 
institutions, the appropriate State or Territory Department of 
Education, regional offices of the Department of Education, or the 
Office of Postsecondary Education of the Department of Education 
concerning the identity of qualifying schools for the 1993-94 academic 
year.
    The Office of Postsecondary Education retains, on a permanent 
basis, copies of all published amendments and Directories.
