L. 110-227) and amended by Pub. L. 110-315 and Pub. L. 110-350, the Department of Education ("Department") may purchase, or enter into forward commitments to purchase, Federal Family Education Loan Program ("FFELP") loans made under sections 428 (subsidized Stafford loans), 428B (PLUS loans), or 428H (unsubsidized Stafford loans) of the HEA, on such terms as the Secretary of Education ("Secretary"), the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (collectively, "Secretaries and Director") jointly determine are "in the best interest of the United States" and "shall not result in any net cost to the Federal Government (including the cost of servicing the loans purchased)."
