the 2015 President's Budget column does not reflect a sequester in 2015. 

1 The Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25) specifies a small percentage increase in the origination fee charged to students and parents for new Direct Student Loans made after the 2013 and 2014 sequester orders. 

The 2014 sequester increase is slightly higher than the one in 2013. This results in greater estimated revenue to the Federal Government. The Direct Loan levels reflect enacted legislation from the Bipartisan 

Student Loan Certainty Act of 2013 (P.L. 113-28). 2 The 2015 President's Budget reflects proposed policy expanding the income-based repayment program, Pay As You Earn (PAYE). 3 The FY 2014 amount reflects a FFEL downward modification based on the Bipartisan Budget Act (P.L. 113-67).

NOTE: Appropriation totals reflect the total funds provided in the year of appropriation, including advance appropriation amounts that do not become available until October 1 of the succeeding fiscal year.

1 The Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25) specifies a small increase in the origination fee charged to students and parents for new Direct Student Loans made after the sequester order. This would result in a greater estimated 

revenue to the Federal Government. The Direct Loan estimates are based on legislation enacted by The Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act of 2013 (P.L. 113-28). 2 The FY 2014 amount reflects a FFEL downward modification based on The Bipartisan Budget Act (P.L. 113-67). 3 The 2013 Appropriation amount is the net total of FY 2013 collections of $12,515 thousand minus $638 thousand for appropriated funds made unavailable due to the 2013 sequester order.
