Abstract: Part 601-Institution and Lender Requirements Relating to
[[Page 26662]]
Education Loans is a section of the regulations governing private
education loans offered at covered institutions. These regulations
assure the Secretary that the integrity of the program is protected
from fraud and misuse of program funds and places requirements on
institutions and lenders to ensure that borrowers receive additional
disclosures about Title IV, HEA program assistance prior to obtaining a
private education loan. The Department is submitting the unchanged
Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification for OMB's continued
approval. While information about the applicant's cost of attendance
and estimated financial assistance must be provided to the student, if
available, the student will provide the data to the private loan lender
who must collect and maintain the self-certification form prior to
disbursement of a Private Education Loan. The Department will not
receive the Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification form
and therefore will not be collecting and maintaining the form or its
data.
