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.

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:
