Abstract: The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA),
established the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program, and the
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program under Title
IV, Parts B and D respectively. The HEA provides for a maximum loan
amount that a borrower can receive per year and in total. If a borrower
receives more than the maximum amount, the borrower becomes ineligible
for further Title IV aid (including Federal Pell Grants, Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Work-Study, and
Teacher Education Assistance for Higher Education (TEACH) Grants, Iraq
and Afghanistan Service Grants) unless the borrower repays the excess
amount or agrees to repay the excess amount according to the terms and
conditions of the promissory note that the borrower signed. Agreeing to
repay the excess amount according to the terms and conditions of the
promissory note that the borrower signed is called reaffirmation, which
is the subject of this collection. This renewal without change of the
information collection is necessary for the Department of Education
(the Department), as a holder of some FFEL Program loans and all Direct
Loans, and all FFEL Program lenders to capture the borrowers formal

agreement to repay any excess amount of FFEL or Direct Loan program
loans that the borrower received according to the terms and conditions
of the promissory note the borrower signed. The form has not been
changed since its last update.
