statement audits, expedite the review of 

those audits by the Department, and 

provide more timely and useful

BILLING CODE 4000–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Annual Notice of Interest Rates of 

Federal Student Loans Made Under the 

Federal Family Education Loan 

Program 

AGENCY: Federal Student Aid, 

Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice; correction. 

SUMMARY: On January 25, 2013, the 

Chief Operating Officer for Federal 

Student Aid in the U.S. Department of 

Education published in the Federal 

Register (78 FR 5433) a notice 

announcing the interest rates for the 

period July 1, 2012, through June 30, 

2013, for certain loans made under the 

Federal Family Education Loan 

Program. We correct two of the charts in 

that notice. 

DATES: Effective March 22, 2013. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On page 

5434 we correct Chart 1 to read as 

follows: 

CHART 1—‘‘CONVERTED’’ VARIABLE-RATE FEDERAL SUBSIDIZED AND UNSUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOANS

Cohort 

Original fixed interest rate Max. rate 

(percent) 

91-Day 

T-bill rate

7/23/1992 ...................................... 10/1/1992 8.00%, increasing to 10.00% ....... 10.00 0.09 3.25 3.34 

7/23/1992 ...................................... 7/1/1994 7.00% ............................................ 7.00 0.09 3.10 3.19 

7/23/1992 ...................................... 7/1/1994 8.00% ............................................ 8.00 0.09 3.10 3.19 

7/23/1992 ...................................... 7/1/1994 9.00% ............................................ 9.00 0.09 3.10 3.19 

7/23/1992 ...................................... 7/1/1994 8.00%, increasing to 10.00% ....... 10.00 0.09 3.10 3.19 

Immediately following the chart we 

add: 

‘‘Note: The FFEL Program loans 

represented by the second row of the 

chart were only made to ‘‘new 

borrowers’’ on or after July 23, 1992.’’ 

We corrected the margin column for 

what were the second, third, and fourth 

rows (now the third, fourth, and fifth 

rows) to read 3.10 percent, rather than 

3.25 percent. The total rate column 

reflects the margin rate changes. 

We added a sixth row, to differentiate 

between two cohorts of ‘‘converted’’ 

variable-rate loans that were originally 

fixed-rate loans with rates that began at 

8 percent, but increased to 10 percent 

after 4 years of repayment. 

We added a cohort column, consistent 

with other charts in the notice, to 

provide additional specificity as to 

when the FFEL Program loans 

represented in the chart were made. 

On page 5434 we correct Chart 2 to 

read: 

CHART 2—VARIABLE-RATE FEDERAL SUBSIDIZED AND UNSUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOANS

7/1/1994 ................................................... 7/1/1995 8.25 0.09 3.10 3.10 3.19 3.19 

7/1/1995 ................................................... 7/1/1998 8.25 0.09 2.50 3.10 2.59 3.19 

7/1/1998 ................................................... 7/1/2006 8.25 0.09 1.70 2.30 1.79 2.39 

We corrected the maximum rate 

column for the second row from 8.25 

percent to 9 percent. 

The Note following Chart 2 in the 

interest rate notice is correct, and we do 

not republish it here. 

As a reminder, a dagger following a 

date in the cohort fields indicates that 

the trigger for the rate to apply is a 

period of enrollment for which the loan 

was intended either ‘‘ending before’’ or 

‘‘beginning on or after’’ the date in the 

cohort field.
