ACTION: Notice of availability of the Federal Perkins Loan and National Direct Student Loan Programs Directory of Designated Low-Income Schools for Teacher Cancellation Benefits for the 1999-2000 School Year. SUMMARY: We are announcing that the 1999-2000 Federal Perkins Loan and National Direct Student Loan Programs Directory of Designated Low-Income Schools (The Directory) is now available on the Department of Education's (the Department's) Web site.
Under the Federal Perkins Loan and National Direct Student Loan programs, a borrower may have repayment of his or her loan deferred and a portion of his or her loan canceled if the borrower teaches full-time for a complete academic year in a designated elementary or secondary school having a high concentration of students from low-income families. In the 1999-2000 Directory, we list, on a State-by-State and Territory-by-Territory basis, the schools in which a borrower may teach during the 1999-2000 school year to qualify for deferment and cancellation benefits.

ADDRESSES: You may obtain information concerning specific schools listed in the Directory from Chrissa Allen, Systems Administration Branch, Campus-Based Programs Systems Division, Office of Student Financial Assistance, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., (Portals Building, Room 6200), Washington, D.C. 20202-5447, Telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We select schools that qualify a borrower for deferment and cancellation benefits under the procedures contained in the Federal Perkins Loan Program regulations in 34 CFR 674.53, 674.54 and 674.55. We have determined that, for the 1999-2000 academic year, full-time teaching in the schools set forth in the 1999-2000 Directory qualifies a borrower for deferment and cancellation benefits. We are providing the Directory to each institution participating in the Federal Perkins Loan Program in an electronic format only.
