Approved as
amended by ED's memoranda to OMB of 8/30/93 and 9/2/93. I addition,
ED has agreed to the following conditions: -- In the preogram
description, ED will consult Treasury to provide students with
accurate information on the "maximum legal prevailing rate" of
interest, which must be paid if students enter repayment in lieu of
the service requirement. -- ED shall revise Item 6 of the
Information Form to read, "The highes score ever received on the
mathematics portion of the ACT, and the corresponding scores on the
other individual parts of the same examination", to clarify exactly
which scores students are to report. -- ED shall clarify that
students are to report college address in Ite 7 and 8. -- ED shall
revise Item 12 to ask if the students have ever taken the College
Board Achievement tests. Since the probability of using these test
scores to break a tie in this competition is extremely low, askin
all students to report their scores provides information that in
most circumstances will not be used by ED.
