Administration of Grants and Agreements With Institutions of 
Higher Education, Hospitals, and other Non-Profit Organizations; Direct 
Grant Programs

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Final regulations.

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

SUMMARY: The Secretary amends 34 CFR parts 74 and 75 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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations are effective on February 3, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Greg Vick, U. S. Department of 
Education, 600 Independence Avenue, S.W., Room 3636, Regional Office 
Building 3, Washington, D.C. 20202. Telephone (202) 708-8199. 
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 June 10, 1994, final regulations for 
Direct Grant Programs (part 75) were published in the Federal Register 
at 59 FR 30258, and on July 6, 1994, final regulations for the 
Administration of Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher 
Education, Hospitals, and other Non-Profit Organizations (part 74) were 
published in the Federal Register at 59 FR 34722. Compliance with 
information collection requirements in 34 CFR 74.12, 74.21, 74.25, 
74.34, 74.44, 74.45, 74.46, 74.47, 74.51, 74.52, 74.53, 74.71, 74.72, 
75.118 and 75.590 was delayed until those requirements were approved by 
OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980. OMB approved the 
information collection requirements in the regulations for part 75 on 
June 3, 1994 and for part 74 on July 12, 1994.

Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

    In accordance with 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).
