    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

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.
