consequences of the proposed action, 

announces its decision to provide 

unimpeded access to the Laurelwood 

housing area located at Naval Weapons 

Station (NWS) Earle, Colts Neck, New 

Jersey, as required by its agreement with 

the developer of the Laurelwood 

housing area. Unimpeded access will be 

accomplished through implementing 

Alternative Alignment 4, described in 

the Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) as the preferred 

alternative, which will access NWS 

Earle via a new entrance south of the 

main gate along New Jersey Route 34 

and terminate at the Laurelwood 

housing area. This will require the 

issuance of an easement to the 

Laurelwood developer over the path of 

the access road, construction of the 

access road, construction of a bridge 

over Esperance Road, and installation of 

perimeter fencing.

ACTION: Notice of revision of the Federal 

Need Analysis Methodology for the 

2010–2011 award year. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary announces the 

annual updates to the tables that will be 

used in the statutory ‘‘Federal Need 

Analysis Methodology’’ to determine a 

student’s expected family contribution 

(EFC) for award year 2010–2011 for the 

student financial aid programs 

authorized under title IV of the Higher 

Education Act of 1965, as amended 

(HEA). An EFC is the amount a student 

and his or her family may reasonably be 

expected to contribute toward the 

student’s postsecondary educational 

costs for purposes of determining 

financial aid eligibility. The Title IV 

programs include the Federal Pell Grant, 

Academic Competitiveness Grant, 

National Science and Mathematics 

Access to Retain Talent Grant, Federal 

Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study, 

Federal Supplemental Educational 

Opportunity Grant, Federal Family 

Education Loan, and William D. Ford 

Federal Direct Loan Programs (Title IV, 

HEA Programs).

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Part F of 

title IV of the HEA specifies the criteria, 

data elements, calculations, and tables 

used in the Federal Need Analysis 

Methodology EFC calculations. 

Section 478 of part F of title IV of the 

HEA requires the Secretary to adjust 

four of the tables—the Income 

Protection Allowance, the Adjusted Net 

Worth of a Business or Farm, the 

Education Savings and Asset Protection 

Allowance, and the Assessment 

Schedules and Rates—each award year 

for general price inflation. The changes 

are based, in general, upon increases in 

the Consumer Price Index. 

For award year 2010–2011 the 

Secretary is charged with updating the 

income protection allowance for parents 

of dependent students, adjusted net 

worth of a business or farm, and the 

assessment schedules and rates to 

account for inflation that took place 

between December 2008 and December 

2009. However, because the Secretary 

must publish these tables before 

December 2009, the increases in the 

tables must be based upon a percentage 

equal to the estimated percentage 

increase in the Consumer Price Index 

for All Urban Consumers for 2009. The 

Secretary estimates that the increase in 

the Consumer Price Index for All Urban 

Consumers (CPI–U) for the period 

December 2008 through December 2009 

will be 4.1 percent. Additionally, 

section 601 of the College Cost 

Reduction and Access Act of 2007 

(CCRAA, Pub. L. 110–84) amended 

sections 475 through 478 of the HEA by 

updating the procedures for determining 

the income protection allowance for 

dependent students as well as the 

income protection allowance tables for 

both independent students with 

dependents other than a spouse and 

independent students without 

dependents other than a spouse. As 

amended by the CCRAA, the HEA 

established new 2010–2011 award year 

values for these income protection 

allowances. The updated tables are in 

sections 1, 2, and 4 of this notice. 

The Secretary must also revise, for 

each award year, the education savings 

and asset protection allowances as 

provided for in section 478(d) of the 

HEA. The Education Savings and Asset 

Protection Allowance table for award 

year 2010–2011 has been updated in 

section 3 of this notice. Section 478(h) 

of the HEA also requires the Secretary 

to increase the amount specified for the 

Employment Expense Allowance, 

adjusted for inflation. This calculation 

is based upon increases in the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics budget of the marginal 

costs for a two-worker family compared 

to a one-worker family for food away 

from home, apparel, transportation, and 

household furnishings and operations. 

The Employment Expense Allowance 

table for award year 2010–2011 has been 

updated in section 5 of this notice. 

The HEA provides for the following 

annual updates: 

1. Income Protection Allowance. This 

allowance is the amount of living 

expenses associated with the 

maintenance of an individual or family 

that may be offset against the family’s 

income. It varies by family size. The 

income protection allowance for the 

dependent student is $4,500. The 

income protection allowances for 

parents of dependent students for award 

year 2010–2011 are:

2. Adjusted Net Worth (NW) of a 

Business or Farm. A portion of the full 

net value of a business or farm is 

excluded from the calculation of an 

expected contribution because—(1) The 

income produced from these assets is 

already assessed in another part of the 

formula; and (2) the formula protects a 

portion of the value of the assets. The 

portion of these assets included in the 

contribution calculation is computed 

according to the following schedule. 

This schedule is used for parents of 

dependent students, independent 

students without dependents other than 

a spouse, and independent students 

with dependents other than a spouse. 

If the net worth of a business or farm is— Then the adjusted net worth is— 

Less than $1 ............................................................................................. $0.

$580,001 or more ..................................................................................... $302,000 + 100% of NW over $580,000. 

3. Education Savings and Asset 

Protection Allowance. This allowance 

protects a portion of net worth (assets 

less debts) from being considered 

available for postsecondary educational 

expenses. There are three asset 

protection allowance tables—one for 

parents of dependent students, one for 

independent students without 

dependents other than a spouse, and 

one for independent students with 

dependents other than a spouse.

4. Assessment Schedules and Rates. 

Two schedules that are subject to 

updates, one for parents of dependent 

students and one for independent 

students with dependents other than a 

spouse, are used to determine the EFC 

toward educational expenses from 

family financial resources. For 

dependent students, the EFC is derived 

from an assessment of the parents’ 

adjusted available income (AAI). For 

independent students with dependents 

other than a spouse, the EFC is derived 

from an assessment of the family’s AAI. 

The AAI represents a measure of a 

family’s financial strength, which 

considers both income and assets. 

The parents’ contribution for a 

dependent student is computed 

according to the following schedule: 

If AAI is— Then the contribution is— 

Less than ¥$3,409 .................................................................. ¥$750. 

($3,409) to $14,500 .................................................................. 22% of AAI. 

$14,501 to $18,200 .................................................................. $3,190 + 25% of AAI over $14,500. 

$18,201 to $21,900 .................................................................. $4,115 + 29% of AAI over $18,200. 

$21,901 to $25,600 .................................................................. $5,188 + 34% of AAI over $21,900. 

$25,601 to $29,300 .................................................................. $6,446 + 40% of AAI over $25,600. 

$29,301 or more ....................................................................... $7,926 + 47% of AAI over $29,300. 

The contribution for an independent 

student with dependents other than a 

spouse is computed according to the 

following schedule: 

If AAI is— Then the contribution is— 

Less than ¥$3,409 .................................................................. ¥$750. 

26382 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 104 / Tuesday, June 2, 2009 / Notices 

If AAI is— Then the contribution is— 

($3,409) to $14,500 .................................................................. 22% of AAI. 

$14,501 to $18,200 .................................................................. $3,190 + 25% of AAI over $14,500. 

$18,201 to $21,900 .................................................................. $4,115 + 29% of AAI over $18,200. 

$21,901 to $25,600 .................................................................. $5,188 + 34% of AAI over $21,900. 

$25,601 to $29,300 .................................................................. $6,446 + 40% of AAI over $25,600. 

$29,301 or more ....................................................................... $7,926 + 47% of AAI over $29,300. 

5. Employment Expense Allowance. 

This allowance for employment-related 

expenses, which is used for the parents 

of dependent students and for married 

independent students, recognizes 

additional expenses incurred by 

working spouses and single-parent 

households. The allowance is based 

upon the marginal differences in costs 

for a two-worker family compared to a 

one-worker family for food away from 

home, apparel, transportation, and 

household furnishings and operations. 

The employment expense allowance 

for parents of dependent students, 

married independent students without 

dependents other than a spouse, and 

independent students with dependents 

other than a spouse is the lesser of 

$3,500 or 35 percent of earned income. 

6. Allowance for State and Other 

Taxes. The allowance for State and 

other taxes protects a portion of the 

parents’ and students’ income from 

being considered available for 

postsecondary educational expenses. 

There are four categories for State and 

other taxes, one each for parents of 

dependent students, independent 

students with dependents other than a 

spouse, dependent students, and 

independent students without 

dependents other than a spouse. Section 

478(g) of the HEA directs the Secretary 

to update the tables for State and other 

taxes after reviewing the Statistics of 

Income file data maintained by the 

Internal Revenue Service.
