SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

29, 2013, the DOE’s Office of Electricity 

Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE), in 

collaboration with the Member Agencies 

of the Steering Committee created under 

Executive Order 13604 of March 22, 

2012, Improving Performance of Federal 

Permitting and Review of Infrastructure 

Projects, published a Request for 

Information (RFI) in the Federal 

Register (78 FR 53436) seeking 

information on a draft IIP Process for 

significant onshore electric transmission 

projects requiring Federal 

authorizations. 

This RFI seeks public input on a draft 

IIP Process intended to improve 

interagency and intergovernmental 

coordination focused on ensuring that 

proponents of transmission projects 

develop and submit accurate and 

complete information early in the 

project planning process to facilitate 

efficient and timely environmental 

reviews and agency decisions. 

Comments on the draft IIP Process 

were originally due on September 30, 

2013, but several interested parties 

requested an extension of the 30-day 

comment period given the complexity of 

the issues, the importance of the draft 

IIP Process for future electric 

transmission projects, and the need to 

engage all stakeholders. As a result, OE 

is extending the comment period until 

October 31, 2013. 

Issued in Washington, DC, September 20, 

2013.

Direct Loan Program including: Federal 

Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans (Direct 

Subsidized Loans); Federal Direct 

Unsubsidized Stafford Loans (Direct 

Unsubsidized Loans); Federal Direct 

PLUS Loans (Direct PLUS Loans); and 

Federal Direct Consolidation Loans 

(Direct Consolidation Loans). 

Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct 

Unsubsidized Loans, and Direct PLUS 

Loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 

2013, have a fixed interest rate that is 

calculated based on the high yield of the 

10-year Treasury notes auctioned at the 

final auction held before June 1 of each 

year, plus a statutory add-on percentage. 

Therefore, while the interest rate 

determination for new loans will be 

different from year to year, such loans 

will have a fixed interest rate for the life 

of the loan. In each case, the calculated 

rate is capped by a maximum interest 

rate. 

The following chart contains specific 

information on the calculation of the 

interest rates for Direct Loans first 

disbursed on or after July 1, 2013, and 

through June 30, 2014. We publish a 

separate notice containing the interest 

rates for Direct Loans that were made in 

prior years.
