Announcement of Effective Dates

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice of effective dates.

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

SUMMARY: Prior to its amendment by the Improving America's Schools Act 
of 1994 (IASA), section 431(d) of the General Education Provisions Act 
(GEPA) required that most Department of Education regulatory documents 
be published in the Federal Register for forty-five (45) calendar days, 
or longer if Congress took certain adjournments, before they became 
effective. Since future congressional adjournments could not be 
predicted with certainty when a document was published, the Department 
could not announce a specific effective date at the time of 
publication. This notice announces the effective dates for certain 
regulatory documents subject to the delayed effective date requirement 
of section 431(d) prior to its amendment.

DATES: For effective dates, see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenneth C. Depew, Division of 
Regulations Management, Office of the General Counsel, U.S. Department 
of Education, Room 5112, FB-10, 600 Independence Avenue SW., 
Washington, DC 20202-2241; telephone: (202) 401-8300.
    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: GEPA section 431(d) was amended by the IASA, 
Pub. L. 103-382, enacted October 20, 1994. Section 431 was also 
redesignated as section 437. As a consequence of the new legislation, 
regulations of the Department are no longer subject to a 45-day delayed 
effective date. This notice announces the effective dates for those 
regulations subject to the previous statutory requirement for the 
delayed effective date. In the future, as a result of the new 
legislation, it will not be necessary for the Department to publish a 
special announcement of effective dates.
    The effective date provision for each of the regulatory documents 
included in the notice stated that the effective date would be 
announced in a notice published in the Federal Register. Accordingly, 
this notice announces the following effective dates:
