DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
 

Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI); 
Organization, Functions, and Authority Delegations

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Extension of closing date notice to solicit public comments.

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

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice of extension of closing date is to 
allow the public--particularly school officials, teachers, and college 
and university faculty--additional time to prepare and submit their 
comments. Many of these educators only very recently became aware of 
the notice and will not be able to meet the September 6, 1994 deadline. 
Also, many other potential commenters have been away from work during 
the comment period (summer months) and have neither received nor been 
given information on the public notice. An extension of the comment 
period will permit many more educators and other interested parties to 
submit comments and recommendations.

DATES: The revised deadline for receipt of comments on implementing the 
``Educational Research, Development, Dissemination, and Improvement Act 
of 1994'' is November 9, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments responding to the July 7 Federal Register notice 
should be addressed to Dr. Laurence Peters, U.S. Department of 
Education, 555 New Jersey Avenue, NW., room 600, Washington, DC 20208-
5530. Comments may also be sent to the Department of Education at the 
Internet electronic mail address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 7, 1994, the Department of Education 
published a notice in the Federal Register (59 FR 34802) inviting the 
public to comment on the implementation by the Office of Educational 
Research and Improvement (OERI) of its new authorizing legislation, the 
``Educational Research, Development, Dissemination, and Improvement Act 
of 1994.'' Comments will be used to help the Assistant Secretary plan 
for the reorganization of OERI and the activities it will carry out, as 
well as establish, in collaboration with the National Educational 
Research Policy and Priorities Board, priorities for OERI's future 
work. Detailed information on the statutory requirements of the 
``Educational Research, Development, Dissemination, and Improvement Act 
of 1994'' and on issues of special interest to the Assistant Secretary 
were included in the July 7 notice. The notice indicated that comments 
must be received on or before September 6, 1994.
