34 CFR Parts 373, 379, 381, and 385

RIN 1820-AB11

 

Rehabilitation Services Administration Programs

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Final regulations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary announces the effective date for information 
collection requirements in regulations for certain Rehabilitation 
Services Administration programs and amends 34 CFR Parts 373, 379, 381, 
and 385 to display and codify the control numbers assigned by the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to information collection 
requirements contained in the regulations. The Department must display 
and codify the control numbers to comply with applicable statutory and 
regulatory requirements. Publication of these control numbers informs 
the public that OMB has approved the information collection 
requirements and that they have taken effect.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The amendments to Secs. 373.30, 379.43, 381.10, 385.45 
published at February 18, 1994 at 59 FR 8330, and this amendment are 
effective June 30, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverlee Stafford, U.S. Department of 
Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Room 3028 Switzer Building, 
Washington, D.C. 20202-2531. Telephone: (202) 205-9331. Individuals who 
use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal 
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m. and 8 
p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

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.
