Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations and Regulatory Plan

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Education.

ACTION: Publication of the semiannual agenda of Federal regulations and 
regulatory plan.

_______________________________________________________________________

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 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: 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 this edition of the Department of Education's regulatory 
agenda, the most important significant regulatory actions are 
included in The Regulatory Plan, which appears in Part II of this 
issue of the Federal Register. The Regulatory Plan entries are 
listed in the Table of Contents below and are denoted by the 
bracketed bold reference which directs the reader to the 
appropriate Sequence Number in Part II.

    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.

    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.

    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: August 19, 1994.

Steven Y. Winnick,

Acting General Counsel.

REGULATIONS

CFR Citation:  34 CFR 75

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed amendment would broaden the criteria the 
Secretary considers in determining the order in which discretionary 
grant applications will be selected for funding. Specifically the 
proposed amendment would expand the criteria to include a grant 
recipient's use of funds under all previous Department of Education 
grant programs. Currently the criteria include only past use of funds 
under the same grant programs. The proposed amendment will also clarify 
that the deadline date for the receipt of application is the date that 
the application is received at the Department, not the postmark date.

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 
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.

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 protection of 
FERPA, records which are created and maintained by a law enforcement 
unit of an educational agency or institution for the purpose of law 
enforcement.
