Direct Loan Program: (OMB 1845-0021)
The proposed regulations would allow schools that participate in the Direct Loan Program to grant deferments based upon information from another Perkins Loan holder or from a FFEL Holder instead of requiring the borrower to provide a duplicate request for deferment to multiple loan holders. As a result, burden for the borrowers and loan holders would decrease.
A total of 41,700 Perkins, FFEL and Direct Loan borrowers were granted a non-in-school deferment in Award Year 2006 and received loans with more than one loan holder.
