 PUBLIC LAW 94-482—OCT. 12, 1976 the amount of the interest payment and the amount of any special allowance payment to be paid under section 438 shall be determined as if the entire amount to be made available for that period of enrollment had been disbursed on the date on which the first installment thereof was disbursed, and any increase in the rate of interest on the loan attributable to such multiple disbursements shall not be deemed to violate any provision of this part relating to the maximum rate of interest on such loan. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only in the case of loans paid in multiple disbursements, in accordance with regulations of the Commissioner, based on the need of the student for the proceeds of such loan over the course of the academic year.
