This notice announces an extension of the public comment period for submitting comments regarding the IIP Process.

**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. Patricia A. Hoffman, Assistant Secretary, Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability.

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.

If an application for a Direct Consolidation Loan is received by the Department on or after July 1, 2013, the interest rate on that loan is the weighted average of the consolidated loans, rounded up to the nearest higher 1 ⁄ 8 of 1 percent. Such Direct Consolidation Loans do not have an interest rate cap.
