Abstract:
The William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program regulations are revised to make changes to the provisions related to forbearance, reasonable and affordable loan rehabilitation for defaulted borrowers, and administrative wage garnishment along with associated changes in burden. The changes to regulation expand the collection of information. The information collection requirements are necessary to determine eligibility to receive program benefits and to prevent fraud and abuse of program funds.
