Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations and The Regulatory Plan

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Education.

ACTION: Publication of the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations and 
The 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 the 
agency contact listed for those regulations. General questions or 
comments related to 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, Office of Management 
and Budget (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 references, which direct the reader to the 
appropriate Sequence Numbers 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.

 A statement of whether the rulemaking is part of the 
Reinventing Government effort and, if so, the effect of the rulemaking.

 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.

    In accordance with the Secretary's Principles for Regulating, 
listed in the preamble to the Department's regulatory plan, the 
Department of Education is committed to limiting its regulations to 
those that improve the quality and equality of services to its 
customers, learners of all ages. The Department will regulate only 
when absolutely necessary and then in the most flexible, most 
equitable, least burdensome way possible.

    Interested members of the public are encouraged to comment on 
any of the items listed in this agenda that they believe are not 
consistent with the Principles for Regulating.

    The Department also will review all of its regulations 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. The Department may elect not to pursue any of 
the regulatory actions listed here, and regulatory action in 
addition to the items listed is not precluded. Dates of future 
regulatory actions are subject to revision in subsequent agendas.

Dated: October 2, 1995.

Judith A. Winston,

General Counsel.

1055. AMENDMENT TO EDUCATION DEPARTMENT GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE 
REGULATIONS

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Reinventing Government: This rulemaking is part of the Reinventing 
Government effort. It will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or 
duplication, or streamline requirements.

Legal Authority:  20 USC 1221e-3(a)(1)

CFR Citation:  34 CFR 75

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: These proposed regulations--based on a recommendation under 
the National Performance Review--amend existing regulations by 
broadening 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 past performance and previous use of 
funds, including failure to submit a performance report or submission 
of a report of unacceptable quality under any Department of Education 
grant programs. Currently the criteria include only past use of funds 
under the same grant programs. The proposed amendment would also 
clarify that the deadline date for the receipt of an application is the 
date that the application is received at the Department, not the 
postmark date. The proposed regulations would be developed in 
accordance with the Department's Principles for Regulating.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: These proposed regulations are needed to implement section 
444 of the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994, (Pub. L. 103-761). 
That provision amends the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act 
(FERPA) to specify certain requirements with regard to the disclosure 
of information from education records, the right of parents to inspect 
and review certain records maintained on their children by State 
educational agencies, and the maintenance and disclosure of 
disciplinary information found in education records. The provision also 
removes, in certain law enforcement instances, the requirement that 
schools notify parents or students before complying with a subpoena or 
court order. The regulations would be developed in accordance with the 
Department's Principles for Regulating.

Abstract: These proposed regulations would define a measure (called the 
Direct Loan cohort rate and a weighted average cohort rate) the 
Secretary may use to determine if a school may continue to participate 
in the Direct Loan Program. The regulations would also provide the 
Secretary with the authority to take limitation, suspension, and 
termination (L, S, and T) action against a school under certain 
specified circumstances; streamline the current L,S, and T, procedures; 
and revise the exceptional mitigating circumstances under which a 
school may appeal its loss of eligibility to participate in the Direct 
Loan and FFEL Programs.
