Part I – Loan Origination and Lender Loan Fees


This section is divided into 5 columns. Make separate line entries for each unique combination of Loan Type, Fee Code, Fee Percent, and Loan Interest Rate. For each line, if any column is completed, all columns for that line must be completed. If you do not have anything to report, please indicate this by inserting zeros in the first line. Report adjustments to previous quarters only if applicable. If additional space is needed, make a copy of the blank page and check the block at the bottom of each page.


Applicability: Most FFEL Program loans are subject to a loan origination fee, which is a percentage of the loan principal and is deducted proportionately from each loan disbursement. The fee depends on the period of enrollment covered by the loan.


A

Loan Type

Provide the 2-letter code of the loan type being reported:


SF - Federal Stafford (except Unsubsidized Stafford)

SL - Federal Supplemental Loans for Students (SLS)

PL - Federal PLUS Loans

CL - Federal Consolidation Loans

SU - Unsubsidized Stafford Loans


B

Fee Code

Provide the code for the period and type of loan activity being reported:

Origination fees for current quarter:

FN - New Loans you have made (including those then sold) in the quarter covered by this form if you owe the origination fees

FS - Loans you made and sold in the quarter covered by this form if the purchaser owes the origination fees

FB - Loans you bought from another Lender in the quarter covered by this form, if you owe the origination fees


Origination fee adjustments to previously reported quarters:

FI - Net increase in loans you made or bought as reported for a previous quarter, if you owe the origination fees

FD - Net decrease in loans you made or bought as reported for a previous quarter, if the fees are to be credited to you


Lender Loan fees for current quarter:

LN - New loans you have made (including those then sold) in the quarter covered by this form, if you owe the Lender loan fees

LS - Loans you made and sold in the quarter covered by this form, if the purchaser owes the Lender loan fees

LB - Loans you bought from another Lender in the quarter covered by this form, if you owe the Lender loan fees


Lender fee adjustment to previously reported quarters:

LI - Net increase in loans you made or bought as reported for a previous quarter, if you owe the Lender fees

LD - Net decrease in loans you made or bought as reported for a previous quarter, if the fees are to be credited to you


Separate entries must be made for origination fees and for Lender fees. For lines containing the codes FN, FB, FI, LN, LB and LI, ED will charge you the fee. For lines containing the codes FD and LD, you will receive credit toward fees due. Use the current quarter codes only for loans made, bought or sold in the quarter covered by this form.


If a loan transaction occurred in the current quarter and an adjustment was made to it in the same quarter, only report the net result. Do not report the original action and the adjustment separately. Include all loans, which can be classified under the same loan type, the same adjustment fee code, the same fee percent, and the same loan interest rate in one line item. When using an adjustment code, report the sum of all activity for loans made in all prior quarters. Do not make separate entries for each separate prior quarter.


C

Fee Percent

Provide the percentage (as a decimal) of the loan used to determine the fee


  • Loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2007 for periods of enrollment that either include that date or begin after that date:

    • Federal Stafford and Unsubsidized Stafford fees are 0.015

    • Federal PLUS fees are 0.03


  • Loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2006 for periods of enrollment that either include that date or begin after that date:

    • Federal Stafford and Unsubsidized Stafford fees are 0.02

    • Federal PLUS fees are 0.03


  • Loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 1994 through June 30, 2006 for periods of enrollment that either include that date or begin after that date:

  • Federal Stafford, PLUS and Unsubsidized Stafford fees are 0.03


  • Loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 1994 for period of enrollment that begin before that date and include that date:

  • Federal SLS loans certified before July 1, 1994 is 0.03


  • Period of enrollment beginning before July 1, 1994 and disbursed prior to that date:

  • Federal Stafford, Federal SLS and Federal PLUS fee is 0.05

  • Unsubsidized Stafford combined origination fee/insurance premium is 0.065


All FFEL Program loans made on or after October 1, 1993, are subject to a Lender loan fee, which is ½% or .005 of the loan principal and is charged proportionately against each loan disbursement.


D

Loan Interest Rate

Provide the applicable interest rate (as a decimal) of each group of loans.


  • Use “.068” for Federal Stafford and Unsubsidized Stafford loans disbursed on or after 7/1/2006.

  • Use “.085” for Federal PLUS loans disbursed on or after 7/1/2006.

  • Use "EVAR" for Federal Stafford, Federal PLUS and Unsubsidized Stafford variable rate loans made to new borrowers on/after 10/1/92 – 6/30/2006.

  • Use the actual rate of the loan for Consolidation loans made on/after 10/1/98.

  • Use FVAR7, FVAR8, FVAR9, FVAR10, and FVARX respectively for converted fixed rate loans of 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, or 0.08/0.1 percent (adjustments only).


E

Principal Amount of Loans

The principal amount of the loan is the amount disbursed plus the amount of the insurance premium and origination fee deducted prior to disbursement. (The Lender loan fee is based on the same amount and is a charge to you. It cannot be charged to the borrower; that is, it cannot be deducted from the loan principal disbursed.)


Enter the total principal amount of loans (whole dollars only) made or bought which are covered by the transaction indicated by the Loan Type and Fee Code. Do not include amounts representing cancellations or adjustments occurring in the same quarter that the loan was disbursed.


For a Fee Code of FI and LI, report the additional amount which was not previously reported to ED. For a Fee Code of FD and LD, report the amount, which was previously reported but has now been cancelled or overstated in previous quarters.


LaRS Instructions




Part II – Interest Benefits


This part is divided into 6 columns. When billing for interest for the quarter covered by the form, (Billing Code BC), make separate line entries for each different loan type and allowable interest rate. Columns A-E must be completed. Column F, Interest Amount, is for reporting adjustments only.


When billing for all other codes (BI and BD), make separate line entries for each type of adjustment. Complete columns A, C, and F. Leave the other columns blank. If additional space is needed, make a copy of the blank page and check the block at the bottom of each page.


Applicability: In general, ED will pay the interest due on:

  • Subsidized Federal Stafford and FISL loans while the borrower is in school at least half time, in grace, and during a period of authorized deferment.

  • Federal Consolidation loans for which the Lender received the application on/after 1/1/93 and prior to 8/10/93 during periods of authorized deferment.

  • Federal Consolidation loans comprised solely of subsidized Federal Stafford Loans for which the Lender received the application on/after 8/10/93 and prior to 11/13/97, during periods of authorized deferment.

  • Federal Consolidation loans whose application was received after 11/13/97, interest benefits are paid on the portion of the loan that repaid subsidized Federal Stafford, subsidized Federal Direct Stafford, FISL, subsidized Federal Consolidation, and subsidized Federal Direct Consolidation loans, during periods of authorized deferment.


A

Loan Type

Provide the 2-letter code for the loan type being reported.

SF - Federal Stafford (except Unsubsidized Stafford) and FISL

CL - Federal Consolidation


B

Interest Rate

Provide the interest rate (as a decimal) for loans or portions of loans on which you are billing interest for the quarter covered by this form, as explained above. For loans made at rates other than those shown, make separate line entries for each actual rate used (up to 5 decimal places, then round). For lines showing an adjustment (Billing Code BI or BD), leave this column blank.

- For 6.8% enter 0.068

- For 8.25% enter 0.0825


C

Billing Code

Provide the code for the period and type of loan activity being reported:

BC - Interest due to you for the current quarter

BI - Adjustment, resulting in a net increase in the interest due to you from previous quarters' billings

BD - Adjustment, resulting in net decrease in the interest due to you form previous quarters' billings


For lines containing the codes BC or BI, you will receive an interest payment from ED. For lines containing the code BD, you will be charged for the amount owed to ED.


If an interest transaction occurred in the current quarter and an adjustment was made to it in the same quarter, report only the net result. Do not report the original action and the adjustment separately.


Use codes BI and BD to report adjustments to interest activity for all prior quarters combined, regardless of the loans' individual interest rates.


D

Ending Principal Balance

Enter the total unpaid principal balance outstanding on all loans or portions of loans eligible for interest benefits (whole dollars only) for the stated Loan Type, Interest Rate and Billing Code combination, as of the last day of the quarter covered by this form. Complete this column only for lines with Billing Code BC.


E

Average Daily Principal Balance

For each combination of Loan Type, Interest Rate and Billing Code, enter the average (whole dollars only) of the daily principal balances of all eligible loans or portions of loans for the quarter covered by this form. This is accomplished by adding the outstanding principal balance of all eligible loans or portions of loans for each day in the quarter and dividing by the number of days in the quarter. This column must be completed for any line with Billing Code BC.


F

Interest Amount (Use only for adjustments)

For each combination of Loan Type, Interest Rate and Billing Code enter to the nearest penny the amount of interest due you or owed to ED.


Do not use Column F for interest due for the current quarter (Billing Code is BC). This column is required for adjustments (Billing Code is BI or BD). Enter a positive number only. We will use the Billing Code to determine whether you are due interest or owe money to ED.



LaRS Instructions


Part III – Special Allowance
