Federal Family Education Loan
Program—Cohort Default Rates
Federal Student Aid,
Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of implementation of
electronic delivery of institution cohort
default rate data for institutions located
outside of the United States.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Secretary gives notice of
the implementation of electronic cohort
default rate (eCDR) delivery notification
packages to institutions located outside
of the United States (foreign
institutions) that participate in the
Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL)
Program, authorized under Part B of
Title IV of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended. This notice is
effective for each foreign institution as
of the date the U.S. Department of
Education (the Department) advises the
institution that the Department has
completed the process of enabling the
institution to enroll in the Department’s
Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG).

audiotape, or computer diskette) on
request to the program contact person
listed in this section.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Traditionally the Department has
transmitted draft and official cohort
default rate packages to foreign
institutions participating in the FFEL
Program by delivery of hardcopy
documents or an encrypted password
protected CD–ROM. The Department is
replacing those processes with
electronic transmission of draft and
official cohort default rate notification

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 155 / Monday, August 13, 2007 / Notices
packages via SAIG, as described below.
Foreign institutions for which the
Department has not yet established
SAIG access will continue to receive
their cohort default rate notification
documents in hardcopy and will also
receive an encrypted password
protected CD–ROM. In these cases, the
regulatory time periods for the
institution to submit challenges,
adjustments, and appeals will begin on
the date of receipt by the institution of
the encrypted password protected CD–
ROM and the letter with the password
for decrypting the CD–ROM.
The eCDR delivery process that the
Department already uses for domestic
institutions and that will be used for
foreign institutions is as follows: For
each electronic distribution of default
rate notifications (draft and official) to
institutions, the Department will
announce on its Information for
Financial Aid Professionals (IFAP) Web
site (https://www.ifap.ed.gov) the date of
the electronic transmission of cohort
default rate information to the
Destination Point Administrator (DPA)
designated by each institution. Except
as described in the following paragraph,
the time periods for submitting
challenges, adjustments, and appeals
under 34 CFR part 668, subpart M,
begins with the sixth business day after
the date the default rate notification
packages were transmitted to the SAIG
destination points, as noted in the IFAP
announcement.
If an institution believes that a
technical problem caused by the
Department resulted in the institution
not being able to access its eCDR
information, it must notify the
Department no later than five business
days after the transmission date
announced on IFAP. By doing so, and
if we agree that the Department caused
the problem, we will extend the
challenge, adjustment, and appeal
timeframes to allow for a retransmission of the information after the
technical problem is resolved. Reports
of technical problems must be made via
e-mail and addressed to our Default
Prevention and Management share post
at: fsa.schools.default.
management@ed.gov. Each institution is
responsible for updating its SAIG
enrollment whenever a change is
needed to its DPA. Failure of an
institution to enroll in or update SAIG
for the eCDR process is not a valid,
timely technical problem.
To implement the eCDR process,
every foreign institution must, upon the
Department’s notification that its access
to SAIG has been established, complete
the enrollment package provided by the
Department and return the package
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
within the timeframe specified by the
Department. Once the SAIG enrollment
process is completed, the institution’s
DPA will receive the institution’s next
notification package under the eCDR
process.
