Title of Collection: William D. Ford
Federal Direct Loan Program (Direct
Loan Program) Promissory Notes and
related forms.
OMB Control Number: 1845–0007.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households; Private

Abstract: The Direct Subsidized Loan
and Direct Unsubsidized Loan Master
Promissory Note (Subsidized/
Unsubsidized MPN) serves as the means
by which an individual agrees to repay
a Direct Subsidized Loan and/or Direct
Unsubsidized Loan.
The Direct PLUS Loan Master
Promissory Note (PLUS Loan MPN)
serves as the means by which an
individual applies for and agrees to
repay a Direct PLUS Loan. If a Direct
PLUS Loan applicant is determined to
have an adverse credit history, the
applicant may qualify for a Direct PLUS
Loan by obtaining an endorser who does
not have an adverse credit history. The
Endorser Addendum serves as the
means by which an endorser agrees to
repay the Direct PLUS Loan if the
borrower does not repay it.
An MPN is a promissory note under
which a borrower may receive loans for
a single or multiple academic years. The
MPN explains the terms and conditions
of the loans that are made under the
MPN.
The Direct Consolidation Loan
Application and Promissory Note
(Consolidation Note) serves as the
means by which a borrower applies for
a Direct Consolidation Loan and
promises to repay the loan. It also
explains the terms and conditions of the
Direct Consolidation Loan. The
Consolidation Note Instructions explain
to the borrower how to complete the
Consolidation Note. The Consolidation
Additional Loan Listing Sheet provides
additional space for a borrower to list
loans that he or she wishes to
consolidate. The Consolidation Request
to Add Loans serves as the means by
which a borrower may add other loans
to an existing Direct Consolidation Loan
within a specified time period. The
Consolidation Loan Verification

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 104 / Wednesday, May 29, 2024 / Notices
Certificate 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.
The proposed changes to the forms
currently approved under OMB No.
1845–0007 include the following:
—Revised language in the promissory
notes where necessary to reflect
changes to the terms and conditions
of Direct Loans made by final
regulations published on November 1,
2022 (87 FR 65904) and July 10, 2023
(88 FR 43820).
—To eliminate duplication of content,
we have consolidated the information
presented in the current Terms and
Conditions and Borrowers Rights and
Responsibilities Statement (BRR) into
a single Terms and Conditions/BRR
section.
—To make it easier for borrowers to
complete the promissory notes, we
have incorporated the instructions
within the body of the promissory
notes at the beginning of each section
to which the instructions apply.
—To reduce the number of forms in this
collection, we have eliminated the
Additional Loan Listing Sheet and
added extra spaces to list loans in the
Consolidation Application/
Promissory Note itself.
—To accommodate changes made to the
Departments systems used in
processing promissory notes, the
current data field in all of the
promissory notes that asks for the
borrowers middle initial has been
changed to request the borrowers full
middle name, and a new data field
asking for any suffix to the borrowers
name (e.g., Jr. or Sr.) has been added.
—We have revised the Privacy Act
Statement in each of the promissory
notes based on the most recent
updates to the applicable Systems of
Records Notices.

Abstract: The current authorization
for the Regional Educational
Laboratories (REL) program is under the
Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002,
part D, section 174, (20 U.S.C. 9564),
administered by the Department of
Education, Institute of Education
Sciences (IES), National Center for
Education Evaluation and Regional
Assistance (NCEE). The central mission
and primary function of the RELs is to
support applied research and provide
technical assistance to state and local
education agencies within their region
(ESRA, part D, section 174[f]). The REL
program’s goal is to partner with
educators and policymakers to conduct
work that is change-oriented and
supports meaningful local, regional, or
state decisions about education policies,
programs, and practices to improve
outcomes for students.
Grades 6–8 mark an extended and
crucial period in which students are
expected to master increasingly
complex literacy skills (Biancarosa &
Snow, 2006; Hagaman et al., 2016). By
the middle school grades, reading
instruction typically shifts from a focus
on fundamental literacy skills, such as
decoding and phonemic awareness, to
genre-specific textual conventions,
