DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
34 CFR Parts 690

RIN 1840-AB73


Federal Pell Grant Program

AGENCY: Department of Education.

[[Page 30789]] ACTION: Final regulations.

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

SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the regulations governing the Federal 
Pell Grant Program to add the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
control number 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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations are effective on July 1, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Greg Gerrans, Student Financial 
Assistance Programs, Office of Postsecondary Education, U.S. Department 
of Education, 600 Independence Avenue, S.W., (Room 3042, ROB-3), 
Washington, D.C. 20202-5447. Telephone (202) 708-4607. 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 the Federal Pell Grant 
Program were published in the Federal Register on November 1, 1994 (59 
FR 54718). Compliance with information collection requirements in 
certain sections of these regulations 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 on December 5, 1994. The information collection 
requirements in these regulations will therefore become effective with 
all of the other provisions of the regulations on July 1, 1995.

Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

    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 public comment on the regulations is 
unnecessary and contrary to the public interest.
