The Federal Family Educational Loan
Program proposed regulations revise current regulations in areas of
program administration and assure the Secretary that program
integrity is protected from fraud and misuse of program funds. The
proposed regulations provide for additional disclosure
requirements, due diligence requirements, provide new
administrative forbearances, as well as changes to income-based
repayment plans.

USC 1001 Name of Law: Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended
The proposed regulations
streamline the current total and permanent disability (TPD)
discharge process. Currently, if a borrower has multiple lenders, a
TPD application for each lender/holder must be completed and
submitted. Under the proposed regulations, a holder would refer the
borrower requesting this type of discharge to the Department, who
would then contact all the holders so that collection efforts would
be suspended for a period of time to allow the borrower to obtain,
complete, and submit the TPD application.
