Part 601 - Institution and Lender
Requirements Relating to Education Loans is a section of the
regulations governing private education loans offered at covered
institutions by lenders also participating in the FFEL program.
These regulations assure the Secretary that the integrity of the
program is protected from fraud and misuse of program funds and
places requirements on institutions and lenders to insure that
borrowers receive additional disclosures about Title IV, HEA
program assistance prior to obtaining a private education loan.
These regulations require covered institutions to provide a variety
of new loan disclosures, disclosures on private loans,for
institutions to prepare and submit an annual report on the use of
private loans, and to establish and adopt a code of conduct for
institutions participation in a preferred lender arrangement. The
Department, in conjunction with outside entities are submitting the
Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification form for OMB's
approval. While information about the applicant's cost of
attendance and estimated financial assistance must be provided to
the student, if available, the student will provide the data to the
private loan lender who must collect and maintain the
self-certification form prior to disbursement of a Private
Education Loan. The Department will not receive the Private
Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification form and therefore will
not be collecting and maintaining the form or its data.

amended

Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
The Department is requesting a
revision of the current information collection. There has been no
changes to the required reporting or recordkeeping requirements of
the Institution and Lender Requirements Relating to Education
Loans. We have calculated an increase in burden due to a change in
statute. The authority for lenders to make new loans under the
Federal Family Education Loan program was terminated as of July 1,
2010 as a result of the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility
(SAFRA) Act that was included in the Public Law 111-152, the Health
Care and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA). We are calculating
burden in this collection for institutions who had previously
participated in the FFEL program who may now only participate in
the Direct Loan program and those who previously participated in
the Direct Loan program only.
