Dear Financial Aid Administrator:

We are planning to make certain data collection changes to the
1996-97 Fiscal Operations Report/1998-99 Application to Participate
(FISAP). Even though these proposed changes are still subject to the
approval of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), we are
advising you of them well in advance of the distribution of the
Electronic FISAP materials in July. Enclosed is a copy of the
requirements for your planning purposes.

Please review the following 1998-99 changes and compare them to
the 1997-98 FISAP to ensure that your institution is completely
updated on the proposed new data collection requirements.

PART I - IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, CERTIFICATIONS
AND WARNING

No changes.

PART II - APPLICATION TO PARTICIPATE

SECTIONS A, & B

No changes.

SECTION C

Beginning with the 1998-99 award year, we are changing the
Federal Perkins Loan-Expanded Lending Option (ELO)
participation procedure. Part II, Section C, Line 6 will now
allow institutions that meet the criteria (a cohort default rate of
15 percent or less and a 1998-99 award year Federal capital
contribution) to apply for participation directly on the FISAP.
An Institutional Agreement, unique to ELO, will be included in
the Electronic FISAP software. Institutions applying for ELO
must sign the agreement and return it with the FISAP signature
page.

SECTION D

A new Line item 7 will allow institutions to indicate that they no
longer want to participate in the Federal Perkins Loan Program
and need to liquidate their Perkins Loan portfolios.

Sections C, D, & E of the 1997-98 FISAP have now been
changed to accommodate the new Sections C & D. They are
now Sections E, F, & G. Note that there are line item number
changes in Part II from lines 6 to 42.

PART III - FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN PROGRAM REPORT

SECTIONS A & B

No changes.

SECTION C

New Lines 5.3 and 5.4 have been added so institutions can
report loans that have been in default more than two years but
less than 5 years (5.3), and in default more than 5 years (5.4).
Note that default loan data in line 5.2 now includes loans in
default only "up to 2 years".

PART IV - FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY GRANT PROGRAM

SECTIONS A, B, C, D, E, & F

No changes.

PART V - FEDERAL WORK-STUDY PROGRAM

SECTIONS A, B, C, D, E, F, G, & H

No changes.

PART VI - PROGRAM SUMMARY

SECTION A & B

No changes.

If you have any questions regarding these FISAP changes,
please direct them to your Campus-Based Programs Financial
Management Specialist identified on the attached listing.

Sincerely,


Michele Selvage, Director
Institutional Financial Management Division
