From mmccreary at ogslp.org Wed Oct 6 08:48:44 2010 From: mmccreary at ogslp.org (McCreary, Matt) Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2010 08:48:44 -0500 Subject: [Lender] Special Allowance Rates for the Quarter Ending September 30, 2010 Message-ID: The Department of Education (ED) has released the special allowance rates for the quarter ending September 30, 2010. In calculating quarterly Special Allowance rates, ED is required to determine "the average of the bond equivalent rates of the quotes of the 3-month commercial paper (financial) rates in effect for each of the days in such quarter as reported by the Federal Reserve in Publication H-15 (or its successor) for such 3-month period." For days when a rate is unavailable, ED has used the previous available rate. Therefore, for the quarter ending September 30, 2010, the average rate used to compute special allowance will be 0.30 percent. Pursuant to the Master Participation Agreement(s) under ED's loan participation purchase program, the 0.30 percent rate is also used to determine the Participant Yield (i.e., yield owed to ED). The calculated Participation Yield rate is available in an Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans (ECASLA) announcement . For some loans, the special allowance rate is calculated by using the average of the bond equivalent rates of the 91-day Treasury bills as published by the Department of the Treasury. For the quarter ending September 30, 2010, the average of the rates is 0.15 percent. Click here to view ED's announcement regarding the new rates. If you have questions, please contact OGSLP's Policy, Compliance and Training department at 405.234.4432, 800.247.0420 (toll free) or pct at ogslp.org . We're here to help!
