Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Education.

ACTION: Publication of the semiannual agenda of Federal regulations.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Education publishes a semiannual agenda of 
Federal regulations issued under the authority of section 4(b) of 
Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review.'' The purpose 
of the agenda is to encourage more effective public participation in 
the regulatory process by providing the public with early information 
about pending regulatory activities.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions or comments related to 
specific regulations listed in this agenda should be directed to 
Kenneth C. Depew, Division of Regulations Management, Office of the 
General Counsel, Department of Education, Room 5125, FOB-6, 400 
Maryland Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20202-2241; telephone: (202) 401-
2884. 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: Section 4(b) of Executive Order 12866, dated 
September 30, 1993, requires the Department of Education (ED) to 
publish, at a time and in a manner specified by the Administrator of 
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, an agenda of all 
regulations under development or review. The Regulatory Flexibility 
Act, 5 U.S.C. 602(a), requires ED to publish, in October and April of 
each year, a regulatory flexibility agenda. The regulatory flexibility 
agenda may be combined with any other agenda that satisfies the 
statutory requirements (5 U.S.C. 605(a)). In compliance with the 
Executive order and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Secretary 
publishes this agenda.

    For each set of regulations listed, the agenda provides the 
title of the document, the type of document, a citation of any 
rulemaking or other action taken since publication of the most 
recent agenda, and planned dates of future rulemaking. In addition, 
the agenda provides the following information:

 An abstract, which includes a description of the problem to be 
addressed, any principal alternatives being considered, and potential 
costs and benefits of the action.

 An indication of whether the planned action is likely to have 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601(b)).

 A reference to where a reader can find the current regulations 
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

 A citation of legal authority.

 The name, address, and telephone number of the contact person 
at the Department from whom a reader can obtain additional information 
regarding the planned action.

 An indication if the action is subject to OMB review or is 
economically significant.

    If the ``Abstract'' section of an entry refers readers to the 
preamble, it means that amendments to those particular regulations 
would be designed (1) to effect regulatory relief, including 
reducing paperwork and compliance burdens, improving cost 
effectiveness, and to the extent possible, vesting greater 
discretion in State and local agencies and (2), if necessary, to 
clarify and simplify requirements governing that program.

    The Department also will review all regulations that will be 
published to ensure that, if appropriate, those regulations support 
the National Education Goals. These goals call for:

 All children starting school ready to learn;

 Increasing the high school graduation rate to at least 90 
percent;

 U.S. students demonstrating competency in challenging subject 
matter, including English, mathematics, science, history, and 
geography;

 U.S. students becoming first in the world in science and 
mathematics achievement;

 Adult Americans becoming literate and possessing the knowledge 
and skills necessary to compete in a global economy and to exercise the 
rights and responsibilities of citizenship; and

 Freeing every school of drugs and violence so as to offer a 
disciplined environment conducive to learning.

    This publication in the Federal Register does not impose any 
binding obligation on the Department with regard to any specific 
item on the agenda. Regulatory action in addition to the items 
listed is not precluded. Dates of future regulatory actions are 
subject to revision in subsequent agendas.

Dated: February 25, 1994.

Judith A. Winston,

General Counsel.

Abstract: In connection with a proposal from the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) in 1988 to merge its Circular A102 and A-110, the 
Department published a proposed regulations to unify its grant 
administrative requirements for all types of recipients in a new 34 CFR 
Part 74. In 1990, OMB published a Federal Register notice cancelling 
plans to merge the circulars (55 FR 45289), and proceeded to revise 
Circular A-110, which it published in final form on November 29, 1993 
(58 FR 62992). Consequently, the Department modifies this proposed 
action to amend the current 34 CFR Part 74 to incorporate the grant 
administrative provisions of the new OMB Circular A-110, which applies 
to recipients that are institutions of higher education, hospitals, or 
non-profit organizations.

Significance:

CFR Citation:  34 CFR 75

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: These regulations proposed to amend part 75 to revise 
references to multi-year project periods and application, reporting, 
and prior approval requirements in conjunction with the Department's 
Quality Improvement Team's recommendation for changing the way 
continuation applications are awarded and administered for FY 95. It is 
projected the changes will reduce the Department's person days from 
6,800 to 2,400, and associated costs from $1,350,000 to $488,000. Other 
benefits include enabling grantees to start projects on time and plan 
better. The changes will eliminate steps that entail processing 
unnecessary paperwork, and cumbersome multi-level clearances that add 
little value to the quality of awards and require activities that do 
not contribute to the quality of the award.

CFR Citation:  34 CFR 76; 34 CFR 298

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: These regulations propose to make changes that would limit 
the interest liability of the Department under the Cash Management 
Improvement Act of 1990 (CMIA) in cases when the Department is late in 
making an initial payment under a State-administered program because a 
State failed to submit a plan or other required document in a timely 
fashion. Also, because granting pre-award costs would result in the 
significant interest liabilities under the CMIA, the preamble to the 
NPRM notifies States that the Department will no longer grant pre-award 
costs to a State that fails to submit a substantially approvable State 
plan by the date established for the submission of the plan.

963. FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY

Significance:
Regulatory Plan entry: Undetermined

Legal Authority:  20 USC 1232g

CFR Citation:  34 CFR 099

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The regulations are needed to implement section 1555 of the 
Higher Education Amendments of 1992, P.L. 102-325, codified at 20 
U.S.C. section 1232g(a)(4)(B)(ii). The provision amends the Family 
Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to exclude from the 
definition of ``education records,'' and thereby from the restrictions 
of FERPA, records which are maintained by a law enforcement unit of an 
educational agency or institution for the purpose of law enforcement. 
The second Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) which implements these 
changes to the regulations seeks additional public comments regarding 
the proposed definition of ``disciplinary action or proceeding'' which 
was included in the NPRM for clarification purposes.

Abstract: The Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1992 establish

Federal rehabilitation programs. Minimum compliance with the evaluation 
standards would be a prerequisite for funding.
