SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
455(b) of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (HEA) (20 U.S.C.

Unsubsidized Loans); Federal Direct
PLUS Loans (Direct PLUS Loans); and
Federal Direct Consolidation Loans
(Direct Consolidation Loans)
(collectively, ‘‘Direct Loans.’’).
The Direct Loan Program includes
loans with variable interest rates and
loans with fixed interest rates. Most
loans made under the Direct Loan
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 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 455(b) of the HEA,
Direct Loans first disbursed on or after
July 1, 2006, have a fixed interest rate.
In the case of some Direct
Consolidation Loans, the interest rate is
determined by the date on which the
Direct Consolidation Loan application
was received. Direct Consolidation
Loans for which the application was
received on or after February 1, 1999,
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.
Direct Consolidation Loans for which
the application was received on or after
February 1, 1999, and prior to July 1,
2013, have a maximum interest rate of
8.25 percent.
Under section 455(b) of the HEA, the
Direct Loan variable interest rates are
based on formulas that use the bond
equivalent rates of the 91-day Treasury
bills auctioned at the final auction held
before June 1 of each year, plus a
E:\FR\FM\15SEN1.SGM

55345
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 178 / Tuesday, September 15, 2015 / Notices
statutory add-on percentage. These
formulas apply to: All Direct Subsidized
Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans;
Direct Consolidation Loans for which
the application was received on or after
July 1, 1998, and before February 1,
1999; and Direct PLUS Loans disbursed
on or after July 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 26, 2015, which is used to calculate
the interest rates on these loans, is 0.02
percent.
In addition, under section 455(b)(4) of
the HEA, the interest rate for Direct
PLUS Loans that were first disbursed on
or after July 1, 1994, and before July 1,
1998, 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 29, 2015, which is used to
calculate the interest rate on these loans,
is 0.29 percent.
This notice includes five charts
containing specific information on the
calculation of the interest rates for loans
made under the Direct Loan Program
prior to July 1, 2013. We published a
separate notice containing the interest
rates for Direct Loans made for the
current award year on July 17, 2015 (See
80 FR 42488).

ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 84.268.
DATES: This notice is effective September 15, 2015.
SUMMARY: In accordance with section 455(b)(9) 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, 2015,
through June 30, 2016, for loans made under the William D. Ford Federal
Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program prior to July 1, 2013. The Chief
Operating Officer takes this action to give notice of Direct Loan
interest rates to the public.

INFORMATION CONTACT.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 455(b) of the Higher Education Act
of 1965, as amended (HEA) (20 U.S.C. 1087e(b)), provides formulas for
determining the interest rates charged to borrowers for loans made
under the Direct Loan Program including: Federal Direct Subsidized
Stafford Loans (Direct Subsidized Loans); Federal Direct Unsubsidized
Stafford Loans (Direct Unsubsidized Loans); Federal Direct PLUS Loans
(Direct PLUS Loans); and Federal Direct Consolidation Loans (Direct
Consolidation Loans) (collectively, ``Direct Loans.'').
The Direct Loan Program includes loans with variable interest rates
and loans with fixed interest rates. Most loans made under the Direct
Loan 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 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 455(b) of the HEA, Direct Loans first disbursed on or
after July 1, 2006, have a fixed interest rate.
In the case of some Direct Consolidation Loans, the interest rate
is determined by the date on which the Direct Consolidation Loan
application was received. Direct Consolidation Loans for which the
application was received on or after February 1, 1999, 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. Direct Consolidation Loans for which the application was
received on or after February 1, 1999, and prior to July 1, 2013, have
a maximum interest rate of 8.25 percent.
Under section 455(b) of the HEA, the Direct Loan variable interest
rates are based on formulas that use the bond equivalent rates of the
91-day Treasury bills auctioned at the final auction held before June 1
of each year, plus a
[[Page 55345]]
statutory add-on percentage. These formulas apply to: All Direct
Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans; Direct Consolidation
Loans for which the application was received on or after July 1, 1998,
and before February 1, 1999; and Direct PLUS Loans disbursed on or
after July 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 26, 2015, which is used to calculate the
interest rates on these loans, is 0.02 percent.
In addition, under section 455(b)(4) of the HEA, the interest rate
for Direct PLUS Loans that were first disbursed on or after July 1,
1994, and before July 1, 1998, 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 29, 2015, which is used to calculate the interest
rate on these loans, is 0.29 percent.
This notice includes five charts containing specific information on
the calculation of the interest rates for loans made under the Direct
Loan Program prior to July 1, 2013. We published a separate notice
containing the interest rates for Direct Loans made for the current
award year on July 17, 2015 (See 80 FR 42488).
Chart 1 contains information on the interest rates for variable-
rate Direct Subsidized and Direct Unsubsidized Loans.

rate Direct PLUS Loans.

rate Direct Subsidized Consolidation Loans and Direct Unsubsidized
Consolidation Loans.

rate Direct PLUS Consolidation Loans.

Direct Subsidized, Direct Unsubsidized, and Direct PLUS Loans, and

fourth row in Chart 3 describes the interest rate for Direct Subsidized
and Unsubsidized Consolidation Loans for which the application was
