Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.032.
SUMMARY: In accordance with section
427A of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended, the Chief Operating
Officer for Federal Student Aid
announces the interest rates for the
period July 1, 2014, through June 30,
2015, for certain loans made under the
Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL)
Program prior to July 1, 2010. The Chief
Operating Officer takes this action to
give notice of FFEL Program loan
interest rates to the public.
DATES: This notice is effective August 8,
2014.

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
427A of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (HEA) (20 U.S.C.
1077a), provides formulas for
determining the interest rates charged to
borrowers on loans made under the
Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL)
Program, including Federal Subsidized
and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans,
Federal PLUS Loans, and Federal
Consolidation Loans.
The FFEL Program includes loans
with variable interest rates and loans
with fixed interest rates. Most loans
made under the FFEL Program before
July 1, 2006, have variable interest rates
that change each year. In most cases, the
variable interest rate formula that
applies to a particular loan usually
depends on the date of the first
disbursement of the loan. The variable
rates are determined annually and are
effective for each 12-month period
beginning July 1 of one year and ending
June 30 of the following year.

Under section 427A(k) of the HEA,
FFEL Program loans first disbursed on
or after July 1, 2006, have a fixed
interest rate.
In the case of some Federal
Consolidation Loans, the interest rate is
determined by the date on which the
Federal Consolidation Loan application
was received. Federal Consolidation
Loans for which the application was
received on or after October 1, 1998,
have a fixed interest rate. This fixed rate
is based on the weighted average of the
loans that are consolidated, rounded up
to the nearest higher 1/8 of one percent
up to a maximum rate of 8.25 percent.
FFEL variable interest rates are based
on formulas that use the bond
equivalent rate of the 91-day Treasury
bills auctioned at the final auction held
before June 1 of each year plus a
statutorily established add-on. These
formulas apply to: All Federal
Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford
Loans first disbursed before October 1,
1992, that have been converted to
variable rate loans; all Federal
Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford
Loans first disbursed on or after October
1, 1992, and before July 1, 2006; Federal
PLUS Loans first disbursed on or after
July 1, 1998, and before July 1, 2006;
and Federal Consolidation Loans for
which the Federal Consolidation Loan
application was received on or after
November 13, 1997, and before October
1, 1998. In each case, the calculated rate
is capped by a maximum interest rate.
The bond equivalent rate of the 91-day
Treasury bills auctioned on May 27,
2014, which is used to calculate the
interest rates on these loans, is 0.03
percent.
For Federal PLUS loans first
disbursed before July 1, 1998, the
interest rate is based on the weekly
average of the one-year constant
maturity Treasury yield, as published by
the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System on the last day of the
calendar week ending on or before June
26 of each year, plus a statutory add-on
percentage. The calculated rate is
capped by a maximum interest rate. The
weekly average of the one-year constant
maturity Treasury yield published on
June 20, 2014, which is used to
calculate the interest rate on these loans,
is 0.10 percent.
This notice includes five charts
containing specific information on the
calculation of interest rates for loans
made under the FFEL Program:
Chart 1 contains information on the
interest rates for Federal Subsidized and
Unsubsidized Stafford Loans that were
made as fixed-rate loans, but were
subsequently converted to variable-rate
loans.
