[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 122 (Monday, June 26, 1995)] [Rules and Regulations] [Page 32912] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-15559] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 34 CFR Parts 75, 200, 201, 364, 365, 366, 367, 386, 388, 396, 403, 405, 406, 607, 641, 647, and 682 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.

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.
