## Notices of Proposed Rulemaking

On October 29, 2009, the Department published in the Federal Register **final regulations** amending the Federal Perkins Loan (Perkins Loan) Program, Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program, and William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program regulations to implement provisions of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), and other recently enacted legislation.  These regulations are effective July 1, 2010.

The deadline for submitting comments to the July 23 NPRM was August 24, 2009 while the deadline for submitting comments to the July 28 NPRM was August 27, 2009.
