The cited reason in statute for the ability to waive or modify student loan provisions was to provide relief for hardship during a national emergency. Just because the emergency was technically near completion doesn't mean that there wasn't broad hardship that could be given relief.
Just like, say, the official national emergency of katrina ended waaaayyy before many of those affected no longer faced hardship from the emergency.

- monocasa 3y agoPresident Bush declared Katrina to be a national emergency on August 27, 2005. http://web.mit.edu/12.000/www/m2010/finalwebsite/katrina/government/government-response.html http://web.mit.edu/12.000/www/m2010/finalwebsite/katrina/gov... > Before Hurricane Katrina made landfall, Governor Katherine Babineaux Blanco declared a state of emergency in Louisiana on August 26, 2005, and asked President Bush to do the same at the federal level the next day, a request with which he complied. This authorized FEMA to organize and mobilize resources as it saw fit to help the residents of New Orleans (Office of the Press Secretary 2005).
