DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Office of Postsecondary Education; Federal Perkins Loan, Federal
Work-Study, and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
Programs
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of Closing Date for Filing the Fiscal Operations Report
and Application to Participate in the Federal Perkins Loan, Federal
Work-Study (FWS), and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant (FSEOG) Programs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary gives notice to institutions of higher education
of the deadline for an institution to apply for fiscal year 1995
funds--for use in the 1995-96 award year--under the Federal Perkins
Loan, FWS, and FSEOG programs. Under these programs, the Secretary
allocates funds to institutions for students who need financial aid to
meet the costs of postsecondary education. An institution is not
required to establish eligibility prior to applying for funds.
Institutions will be notified of the closing date for establishing
institutional eligibility to participate in the Federal Perkins Loan,
FWS, and FSEOG programs in the 1995-96 award year through a separate
notice in the Federal Register.
The Secretary further gives notice that an institution that had a
Federal Perkins Loan fund or expended FWS or FSEOG funds during the
1993-1994 award year is required to submit a Fiscal Operations Report
to report its program expenditures as of June 30, 1994, to the
Secretary.
The Federal Perkins Loan, FWS, and FSEOG programs are authorized by
parts E and C, and part A, subpart 2, respectively, of title IV of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.
Closing Date: An institution may submit its 1993-94 Fiscal Operations
Report and 1995-96 Application to Participate (FISAP) in the Federal
Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study, and Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant Programs (FISAP-ED FORM 646-1; OMB No. 1840-0073)
by--
(1) Submitting the completed data on a data diskette provided by
the Department of Education;
(2) Creating a tape from data stored on a mainframe computer and
submitting that tape in a format defined by the Department of
Education; or
(3) Transmitting the data from a personal or mainframe computer
through a modem.
First-time applicants will be required to submit data for the
application portion of the FISAP only. Therefore, the Department is
mailing only that portion of the FISAP to first-time applicants.
To ensure consideration for 1995-96 funds, an institution must
submit an electronic FISAP by data diskette, tape, or modem, by October
1, 1994.
FISAPs Delivered by Mail: A diskette or tape containing FISAP data must
be addressed to FISAP, c/o Universal Automation Labs (UAL), 5th Floor,
8300 Colesville Road, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910.
An institution must show proof of mailing its FISAP by October 1,
1994. Proof of mailing consists of one of the following: (1) A legible
mail receipt with the date of mailing stamped by the U.S. Postal
Service, (2) a legibly dated U.S. Postal Service postmark, (3) a dated
shipping label, invoice, or receipt from a commercial carrier, or (4)
any other proof of mailing acceptable to the U.S. Secretary of
Education.
If a FISAP is sent through the U.S. Postal Service, the Secretary
does not accept either of the following as proof of mailing: (1) A
private metered postmark, or (2) a mail receipt that is not dated by
the U.S. Postal Service. An institution should note that the U.S.
Postal Service does not uniformly provide a dated postmark. Before
relying on this method, an institution should check with its local post
office. An institution is encouraged to use certified or at least
first-class mail.
FISAPs Delivered by Hand: A diskette or tape containing FISAP data
must be taken to Universal Automation Labs (UAL), 5th Floor, 8300
Colesville Road, Silver Spring, Maryland.
Hand-delivered FISAP diskettes or tapes will be accepted between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m. daily (Eastern time), except Saturdays, Sundays, and
Federal holidays. Because October 1 is a Saturday this year, a FISAP
that is hand-delivered will not be accepted after 5 p.m. on September
30, 1994.
FISAPs Delivered Electronically: A FISAP that is delivered
electronically must be transmitted by either a personal or mainframe
computer to the host ED computer using a modem. In addition, one
original completed FISAP signature page and one original signed
Compliance Certification form must be mailed to Electronic FISAP, c/o
Universal Automation Labs (UAL), 5th Floor, 8300 Colesville Road,
Silver Spring, Maryland 20910, by October 1, 1994.

Education in late July. An institution must prepare and submit its
FISAP in accordance with the information included in the package.
The program information package is intended to aid applicants in
applying for assistance under these programs. Nothing in the program
