wishes to consolidate, if there is insufficient space on the

means by which a borrower may add other loans to an existing Federal 
Direct Consolidation Loan within a specified time period. The LVC 
serves as the means by which the U.S. Department of Education obtains 
the information needed to pay off the holders of the loans that the 
borrower wants to consolidate. This revision updates the forms to 
reflect regulatory changes, and revises language for greater clarity.
