Abstract: The Department is requesting a minor change in language on the forms and instructions. There is no change to the burden previously submitted and approved 11-9-2012. We are requesting a change from "Serial Number" in Section 2 of the Institutional Certification form to "OPEID Number". Schools participating in this Federal Perkins Loan are more familiar with an OPE ID number than their assigned serial number and this will make the filing of the loan assignments easier for the institution. Schools participating in the Federal Perkins Loan Program, formerly the National Direct/Defense Student Loan Program (NDSL), currently use this form to assign defaulted loans to the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) for collection. These defaulted loans may, as outlined in 20 U.S.C. 1087cc and under program regulations 34 CFR 674.50, be assigned to the Federal government (i.e., Department of Education) for collection when the school has exhausted all efforts in the recovery of the outstanding loan. In addition, schools use this form to assign loans for which a school has approved a total and permanent disability discharge request, in accordance with 34 CFR 674.61(b) (2) (v).
