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.

These final 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 regulations, a holder will refer the borrower
requesting this type of discharge to the Department, who will then
contact all the holders so that collection efforts will be
suspended for a period of time to allow the borrower to obtain,
complete, and submit the TPD application. But, since this
assessment was not previously established, no burden reduction can
be realized, instead we are increasing burden by 913 hours to
reflect the burden associated with the TPD referral process.
