r. A loan subsidy cost is the estimated long-term cost to the government of a direct loan or a loan guarantee, calculated on a net present value basis, and excluding
administrative costs. A positive loan subsidy cost means that there is a cost to the government of providing the loan subsidy to borrowers, while a negative loan
subsidy costs means that the government earns a positive return from the extension of credit to borrowers. An obligation for the subsidy cost occurs when a loan
obligation or loan guarantee commitment is made. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Circular No. A-11, Part 5: Federal Credit, June 2018, pp. 4, 7, 9, at
https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/s185.pdf.
s. Loan subsidy costs are re-estimated after the close of the fiscal year in which a cohort of loans has been substantially disbursed. Re-estimates account for differences
between the original assumptions of cash flow and actual cash flow or revised assumptions about future cash flows, such as differences between assumed and actual
default rates. OMB, Circular No. A-11, Part 5: Federal Credit, June 2018, p. 5, at https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/s185.pdf.
t. A loan modification is a government action that “(1) differs from actions assumed in the baseline estimate of cash flows and (2) changes the estimated cost of an
outstanding direct loan … or an outstanding loan guarantee.” Modifications result in a one-time change in the subsidy cost of outstanding direct loans or loan
guarantees. When a loan modification is made, the cost of the modification is recorded in the fiscal year in which it becomes effective. OMB, Circular No. A-11, Part 5:
Federal Credit, June 2018, pp. 10-11, at https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/s185.pdf.
