Title of Collection: William D. Ford 

Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) 

Program Federal Direct PLUS Loan 

Master Promissory Note and Endorser 

Addendum. 

OMB Control Number: 1845–0068. 

Type of Review: Revision of an 

existing collection of information.

Individuals or households.

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The Federal Direct PLUS 

Loan Master Promissory Note (Direct 

PLUS Loan MPN) serves as the means 

by which an individual applies for and 

agrees to repay a Federal Direct PLUS 

Loan. The Direct PLUS Loan MPN also 

informs the borrower of the terms and 

conditions of Direct PLUS Loan and 

includes a statement of borrower’s rights 

and responsibilities. A Direct PLUS 

Loan borrower must not have an adverse 

credit history. If an applicant for a 

Direct PLUS Loan 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. This 

revision incorporates changes to 

information based on statutory and 

regulatory changes as well as expanding 

repayment plan information, deleting 

outdated information and clarifying 

information through updated charts and 

language.
