Dear Colleague:
The Fiscal Operations Report
for 2004-2005 and the Application to Participate for 2006-2007 (FISAP) has been
approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This FISAP will be available
on the eCampus-Based (eCB) Web site at www.cbfisap.ed.gov
in late July 2005.
We have made no substantive
changes or added no new data fields to this FISAP. Of note, however, is a change
we made to enhance the clarity of the instructions for Part III, Section B,
Field 8, Column a and Field 9, Column a. These instructions explain how to report
the unduplicated number of Perkins Loan borrowers.
As announced in the "Notice
of the 2005-2006 Award Year Deadline Dates for the Campus-Based Programs,"
published in the Federal Register on March 22, 2005 (70 FR 14450), the
date by which your school must submit this FISAP is Friday, September
30, 2005. This is a change to the October 1st deadline date because
October 1st falls on a Saturday this year.
The questions and answers
that follow will assist you in completing this FISAP. Additionally, you may
use the attached "Final FISAP," "Instructions for the Final FISAP,"
and "FISAP on the Web Reference 2006-2007" to assist you in completing
your school's FISAP submission.

To access the FISAP, log
