DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

34 CFR Part 600

 

Institutional Eligibility Under the Higher Education Act of 1965, 
as Amended

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Final regulations, correction, compliance with information 
collection requirements.

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

SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the regulations governing Institutional 
Eligibility Under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as Amended to add 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control numbers to certain 
sections of the regulations. Those sections contain information 
collection requirements approved by OMB. The Secretary takes this 
action to inform the public that these requirements have been approved, 
and therefore affected parties must comply with them. The Secretary 
also corrects an error in the preamble to these regulations published 
in the Federal Register on April 29, 1994.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 19, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Cheryl Leibovitz, U.S. Department 
of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., Room 4318, ROB-3, Washington, 
DC 20202. Telephone (202) 708-7888. 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: On April 29, 1994, final regulations were 
published in the Federal Register governing Institutional Eligibility 
Under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as Amended (59 FR 22324). 
Compliance with information collection requirements in 34 CFR 600.5, 
600.7, 600.10, 600.20, 600.30, and 600.31 was delayed until those 
requirements were approved by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1980. On July 25, 1994 OMB approved those information collection 
requirements under that Act; therefore affected parties must now comply 
with those requirements.

Waiver 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).

List of Subjects in 34 CFR Part 600

    The Secretary amends Part 600 of Title 34 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations as follows:

PART 600--INSTITUTIONAL ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE HIGHER EDUCATION ACT 
OF 1965, AS AMENDED

    1. The authority citation for Part 600 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1088, 1091, 1094, 1099b, 1099c, and 1141, 
unless otherwise noted.

    2. Sections 600.5, 600.7, 600.10, 600.20, 600.30, and 600.31 are 
amended by adding an OMB control number at the end of these sections to 
read as follows: ``(Approved by the Office of Management and Budget 
under control number 1840-0098)''
    3. The following correction is made in FR Doc. 94-10139, published 
in the Federal Register of April 29, 1994, (59 FR 22324):
    On page 22324, column 1, the first sentence after the heading 
``EFFECTIVE DATE'' is corrected to read as follows: These regulations 
take effect on July 1, 1994. However, affected parties do not have to 
comply with information collection requirements contained in 
Secs. 600.5, 600.7, 600.10, 600.20, 600.30 and 600.31 until the 
information collection requirements contained in these sections have 
been submitted by the Department of Education and approved by the 
Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1980.
