under Title IV of the Higher Education
Act of 1965, as amended, for the 2004–

and Leveraging Educational Assistance
Partnership programs.
These programs, administered by the
U.S. Department of Education
(Department), provide financial
assistance to students attending eligible
postsecondary educational institutions
to help them pay their educational
costs.
Deadline and Submission Dates:
See Tables A and B at the end of this
notice.
DATES:
Table A—Deadline Dates for
Application Processing and Receipt of
Student Aid Reports (SARs) or
Institutional Student Information
Records (ISIRs) by Institutions
Table A provides deadline dates for
application processing, including
corrections and submission of
signatures, submission of verification
documents and, for purposes of the
Federal Pell Grant Program, receipt by
institutions of SARs or ISIRs. We
simplified the deadline dates in Table A
by using only three dates for the 2004–
2005 award year. The single date for the
submission of a Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is June
30, 2005, regardless of the method that
the applicant uses to submit the FAFSA.
September 15, 2005 is the deadline date
for the submission and receipt of
corrections, changes of addresses or
schools, or requests for a duplicate SAR.
September 23, 2005 is the deadline date
for the submission and receipt of all
other documents and materials that are
specified in Table A.
Table B—Federal Pell Grant Program
Submission Dates for Disbursement
Information by Institutions
Table B provides the earliest
submission and deadline dates for
institutions to submit Federal Pell Grant
disbursement records to the
Department’s Common Origination and
Disbursement (COD) System.
In general, an institution must submit
Federal Pell Grant disbursement records
no later than 30 days after making a
Federal Pell Grant disbursement or
becoming aware of the need to adjust a
student’s previously reported Federal
Pell Grant disbursement. In accordance
with the regulations at 34 CFR 668.164,
we consider that Federal Pell Grant
funds are disbursed on the earlier of the
date that the institution: (a) Credits
those funds to a student’s account in the
institution’s general ledger or any
subledger of the general ledger, or (b)
pays those funds to a student directly.
We consider that Federal Pell Grant
funds are disbursed even if an
institution uses its own funds in
E:\FR\FM\13APN1.SGM
13APN1
19424
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 70 / Wednesday, April 13, 2005 / Notices
advance of receiving program funds
from the Department. An institution’s
failure to submit disbursement records
within the required 30-day timeframe
may result in an audit or program
review finding. In addition, the
Secretary may initiate an adverse action,
such as a fine or other penalty for such
failure.

1 The deadline for electronic transactions is 11:59 p.m. (Central Time) on the deadline date. Transmissions must be completed and accepted
by 12 midnight to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before 12 midnight but are not completed until after 12 midnight, those transmissions will not meet the deadline. In addition, any transmission picked up on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected may not be reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying him/her of the rejection.
2 The date the ISIR/SAR transaction was processed by CPS is considered to be the date the institution received the ISIR or SAR regardless of
whether the institution has downloaded the ISIR from its SAIG mailbox.
3 Although the Secretary has set this deadline date for the submission of verification documents, if corrections are required, deadline dates for
submission of paper or electronic corrections and, for a Federal Pell Grant, the submission of a valid SAR or valid ISIR to the institution must still
be met. An institution may establish an earlier deadline for the submission of verification documents for purposes of the campus-based programs, the FFEL Program, and the Federal Direct LoanProgram.
4 Students completing verification while no longer enrolled will be paid based on the higher of the two EFCs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary announces deadline dates for the receipt of
documents and other information from institutions and applicants for
the Federal student aid programs authorized under Title IV of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, for the 2004-2005 award year.
The Federal student aid programs include the Federal Perkins Loan,
Federal Work-Study, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant,
Federal Family Education Loan, William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan,
Federal Pell Grant, and Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership
programs.
These programs, administered by the U.S. Department of Education
(Department), provide financial assistance to students attending
eligible postsecondary educational institutions to help them pay their
educational costs.
DATES: Deadline and Submission Dates: See Tables A and B at the end of
this notice.
Table A--Deadline Dates for Application Processing and Receipt of
Student Aid Reports (SARs) or Institutional Student Information Records
(ISIRs) by Institutions
Table A provides deadline dates for application processing,
including corrections and submission of signatures, submission of
verification documents and, for purposes of the Federal Pell Grant
Program, receipt by institutions of SARs or ISIRs. We simplified the
deadline dates in Table A by using only three dates for the 2004-2005
award year. The single date for the submission of a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is June 30, 2005, regardless of the
method that the applicant uses to submit the FAFSA. September 15, 2005
is the deadline date for the submission and receipt of corrections,
changes of addresses or schools, or requests for a duplicate SAR.
September 23, 2005 is the deadline date for the submission and receipt
of all other documents and materials that are specified in Table A.
Table B--Federal Pell Grant Program Submission Dates for Disbursement
Information by Institutions
Table B provides the earliest submission and deadline dates for
institutions to submit Federal Pell Grant disbursement records to the
Department's Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System.
In general, an institution must submit Federal Pell Grant
disbursement records no later than 30 days after making a Federal Pell
Grant disbursement or becoming aware of the need to adjust a student's
previously reported Federal Pell Grant disbursement. In accordance with
the regulations at 34 CFR 668.164, we consider that Federal Pell Grant
funds are disbursed on the earlier of the date that the institution:
(a) Credits those funds to a student's account in the institution's
general ledger or any subledger of the general ledger, or (b) pays
those funds to a student directly. We consider that Federal Pell Grant
funds are disbursed even if an institution uses its own funds in
[[Page 19424]]
advance of receiving program funds from the Department. An
institution's failure to submit disbursement records within the
required 30-day timeframe may result in an audit or program review
finding. In addition, the Secretary may initiate an adverse action,
such as a fine or other penalty for such failure.

\1\ The deadline for electronic transactions is 11:59 p.m. (Central Time) on the deadline date. Transmissions
must be completed and accepted by 12 midnight to meet the deadline. If transmissions are started before 12
midnight but are not completed until after 12 midnight, those transmissions will not meet the deadline. In
addition, any transmission picked up on or just prior to the deadline date that is rejected may not be
reprocessed because the deadline will have passed by the time the user gets the information notifying him/her
of the rejection.
\2\ The date the ISIR/SAR transaction was processed by CPS is considered to be the date the institution received
the ISIR or SAR regardless of whether the institution has downloaded the ISIR from its SAIG mailbox.
\3\ Although the Secretary has set this deadline date for the submission of verification documents, if
corrections are required, deadline dates for submission of paper or electronic corrections and, for a Federal
Pell Grant, the submission of a valid SAR or valid ISIR to the institution must still be met. An institution
may establish an earlier deadline for the submission of verification documents for purposes of the campus-
based programs, the FFEL Program, and the Federal Direct LoanProgram.
\4\ Students completing verification while no longer enrolled will be paid based on the higher of the two EFCs.
