SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Final regulations for a variety of Rehabilitation Services Administration programs were published in the Federal Register on February 18, 1994 (59 FR 8330). At the time of publication of the regulations, it was noted that certain sections of the regulations contained information collection requirements requiring review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and those sections would become effective after approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, as amended. OMB has approved the information collection requirements in Secs. 373.30, 379.43, 381.10, and 385.45 of those regulations, and those sections of the regulations are now effective. Waiver of Notice of Proposed Rulemaking In accordance with section 431(b)(2)(A) of the General Education Provisions Act (20 U.S.C. 1232(b)(2)(A)) and the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553), it is the practice of the Secretary to offer interested parties the opportunity to comment on proposed regulations. However, the publication of OMB control numbers is purely technical and does not establish substantive policy. Therefore, the Secretary has determined, under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), that proposed rulemaking is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest and that a delayed effective date is not required under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification The Secretary certifies that these regulations contain only technical amendments and would not have a significant impact on any entities.
