Subject: Allocation of Fiscal
Year (FY) 1994 HEAL Insurance Authority Based on $375 million
HEAL Lender Policy Memorandum 93-18
HEAL School Policy Memorandum 43
The purpose of this policy
memorandum is to share with Health Education Assistance Loan (HEAL) schools
and lenders FY 1994 HEAL insurance authority allocation decisions based on a
preliminary HEAL guarantee level of $375 million (the amount authorized for
HEAL for FY 1994). We hope that this "early alert" will be beneficial
to all members of the HEAL community as plans are made for the coming fiscal
year.
We requested that HEAL lenders
submit FY 1994 HEAL needs to us by August 20, 1993. In requesting this material
we explained to lenders in a letter dated June 23, 1993, and confirmed in subsequent
telephone conference calls that FY 1994 insurance authority would be allocated
in accord with Section 702b(2)(B) of the HEAL statute and specifically in accord
with the following:
Allocations were made, in
order of priority, to lenders whose lending terms yield the lowest cost to the
borrower; and were based on lender requests for insurance authority by discipline
and the percentage of insurance authority that has historically been used by
each discipline.
We have analyzed lender
submissions in accord with the above and are providing you with an allocation
table reflecting a guarantee level of $375 million. Please Note:
The guarantee level is preliminary and only for planning purposes. Final
FY 1994 HEAL insurance authority allocations will depend on FY 1994 Congressional
appropriation action.
We hope this information
allows you to plan for FY 1994 funding cycles. Should you have any questions,
please contact Ms. Sylvia Brown or Ms. Laura Bailey of the HEAL Applications
Staff at (301) 443-1540. Thank you.
