Sec.  66.111  Suspension, waiver, and cancellation.



    (a) The Secretary may extend the period for undertaking service 

described in Sec.  66.110(c), permit breaks in the continuous service 

required under Sec.  66.110(c), or extend the period of repayment under 

Sec.  66.110(e) if the Secretary determines that:

    (1) An extension or break in service is necessary so the individual 

may complete his or her research training;

    (2) Completion during the period would be impossible because the 

individual is temporarily disabled; or

    (3) Completion during the period would involve a substantial 

hardship to the individual and failure to extend to the period would be 

against equity and good conscience.

    (b) The Secretary may waive, in whole or in part, the obligation of 

the individual to repay pursuant to Sec.  66.110(d) if the Secretary 

determines that:

    (1) Fulfillment would be impossible because the individual is 

permanently and totally disabled; or

    (2) Fulfillment would involve a substantial hardship to the 

individual and enforcement of the obligation would be against equity and 

good conscience.

    (c) In making determinations under Sec.  66.111 (a)(3) and (b)(2), 

the Secretary will take into consideration such factors as:

    (1) The individual's present financial resources and obligations;

    (2) The individual's estimated future financial resources and 

obligations;

    (3) The reasons for the individual's failure to complete the 

requirements within the prescribed period, such as problems of a 

personal nature;

    (4) The extent to which the individual has been engaged in 

activities encompassed by Sec.  66.110(a) and (b);

    (5) Whether the individual has received sufficient training to be 

qualified to perform any such activities;

    (6) The unavailability of employment opportunities appropriate to 

the individual's education and training; and

    (7) Any other extenuating circumstances.

    (d) Any obligations of any individual under this subpart will be 

cancelled upon the death of that individual.
