34 CFR Parts 668, 674, 682, and 685 

Federal Student Aid Programs 

(Student Assistance General 

Provisions, Federal Perkins Loan 

Program, Federal Family Education 

Loan Program, and the Federal Direct 

Loan Program) 

AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary 

Education, Department of Education. 

ACTION: Updated waivers and 

modifications of statutory and

SUMMARY: The Secretary is issuing 

updated waivers and modifications of 

statutory and regulatory requirements 

governing the Federal student financial 

aid programs under the authority of the 

Higher Education Relief Opportunities 

for Students Act of 2003 (HEROES Act). 

The HEROES Act requires the Secretary 

to publish a document in the Federal 

Register announcing the waivers or 

modifications of statutory or regulatory 

requirements applicable to the student 

financial assistance programs under title 

IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 

as amended (HEA), to assist individuals 

who are performing qualifying military 

service, and individuals who are 

affected by a disaster, war or other 

military operation, or national 

emergency, as described in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of 

this document. 

DATES: The waivers and modifications 

begin on September 29, 2017. The 

waivers and modifications in this 

document expire on September 30, 

2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a 

document published in the Federal 

Register on December 12, 2003 (68 FR 

69312), the Secretary exercised the 

authority under the HEROES Act 

(Pub. L. 108–76, 20 U.S.C. 1098bb(b)) 

and announced waivers and 

modifications of statutory and 

regulatory provisions designed to assist 

‘‘affected individuals.’’ Under 20 U.S.C. 

1098ee(2), the term ‘‘affected 

individual’’ means an individual who: 

• Is serving on active duty during a 

war or other military operation or 

national emergency; 

• Is performing qualifying National 

Guard duty during a war or other 

military operation or national 

emergency; 

• Resides or is employed in an area 

that is declared a disaster area by any 

Federal, State, or local official in 

connection with a national emergency; 

or 

• Suffered direct economic hardship 

as a direct result of a war or other 

military operation or national 

emergency, as determined by the 

Secretary. 

Please note that these waivers and 

modifications do not apply to an 

individual who resides or is employed 

in an area declared a disaster area by 

any Federal, State, or local official 

unless that declaration has been made 

in connection with a national 

emergency. 

Under the HEROES Act, the 

Secretary’s authority to provide the 

waivers and modifications would have 

expired on September 30, 2005. 

However, Public Law 109–78, enacted 

on September 30, 2005, extended the 

expiration date of the Secretary’s 

authority to September 30, 2007. 

Accordingly, in a document in the 

Federal Register published on October 

20, 2005 (70 FR 61037), the Secretary 

extended the expiration of the waivers 

and modifications published on 

December 12, 2003, to September 30, 

2007. 

Public Law 110–93, enacted on 

September 30, 2007, eliminated the 

September 30, 2007, expiration date of 

the HEROES Act, thereby making 

permanent the Secretary’s authority to 

issue waivers and modifications of 

statutory and regulatory provisions. 

On December 26, 2007, the Secretary 

published a document in the Federal 

Register (72 FR 72947) extending the 

waivers and modifications published on 

December 12, 2003, to September 30, 

2012. In that document, the Secretary 

also indicated an intent to review the 

waivers and modifications published on 

December 12, 2003, in light of statutory 

and regulatory changes and to consider 

whether to change some or all of the 

published waivers and modifications. 

In a document in the Federal Register 

published on September 27, 2012 (77 FR 

59311), the Secretary published updated 

waivers and modifications to reflect the 

results of the review. Under that 

document, the updated waivers and 

modifications expire on September 30, 

2017. 

The Secretary is updating the waivers 

and modifications to reflect statutory 

and regulatory changes that have 

occurred since the September 27, 2012, 

document was published. The waivers 

and modifications in this document will 

expire on September 30, 2022. With a 

few limited exceptions, the waivers and 

modifications in this document are the 

same waivers and modifications 

published in the September 27, 2012, 

Federal Register document. However,
