Other change**      The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) (Public Law 110-315), which was signed into law on August 14, 2007, and final regulations published on November 1, 2007 (72 FR 62014) and October 23, 2008 (73 FR 63232) made several changes to the terms and conditions of Direct PLUS Loans under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program. The Department is requesting approval to amend the Direct PLUS Loan Application and Master Promissory Note (PLUS MPN) and Endorser Addendum to reflect certain changes made by the HEOA and the November 2007 and October 2008 final regulations. We are also requesting approval to make certain additional minor changes as explained in the attachment to this Change Worksheet. The requested changes are limited in scope and do not affect the burden associated with this collection. The changes associated with the HEOA reflect certain statutory requirements that took effect upon enactment and do not require implementing regulations. The regulatory changes resulted from regulations developed under the negotiated rulemaking process. We believe that it is in the best interest of borrowers and endorsers to amend the PLUS MPN and Endorser Addendum at this time so that they reflect the most recent statutory and regulatory changes to the terms of Direct PLUS Loans. The proposed changes are listed in an attachment to this Change Worksheet and are also highlighted in the attached revised Direct PLUS Loan MPN and Endorser Addendum.
