DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

34 CFR Part 674

RIN 1840-AB71


Federal Perkins Loan Program

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Final regulations.

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

SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the regulations governing the Federal 
Perkins Loan Program to add the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
control number to Sec. 674.34(e) of the regulations. The section 
contains 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: Sylvia R. Ross, Federal Perkins Loan 
Program, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence Avenue SW., 
(Room 4018, ROB-3), Washington, D.C. 20202-5447. Telephone (202) 708-
8242. 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 Perkins 
Loan Program were published in the Federal Register on November 30, 
1994 (59 FR 61392). Compliance with information collection requirements 
in Sec. 674.34(e) 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 May 19, 1995. The information collection requirements in 
Sec. 674.34(e) will therefore become effective with 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.
