add other loans to an existing Federal

specified time period. The LVC serves 

as the means by which the U.S.

information needed to pay off the 

holders of the loans that the borrower 

wants to consolidate.

reflect certain statutory and regulatory 

changes revises language for greater 

clarity and for greater consistency with

notes.
