II. Discussion
The Department recognizes the
stakeholders’ request for additional time
to prepare comments, and because it
encourages all stakeholders to provide
comment, the Department is extending
the comment period to February 13,
2007. The Department believes this
additional time allows for the
development and completion of
stakeholder comments without posing a
conflict to the DOE regarding its
rulemaking schedules.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
18, 2006, we published a notice in the
Federal Register (71 FR 47756)
announcing our intent to establish up to
four negotiated rulemaking committees
to prepare regulations under Title IV of
the HEA. The notice also announced a
series of four regional hearings at which
interested parties could suggest topics
for consideration for action by the
negotiating committees. We invited
parties to submit topics for
consideration in writing, as well. In the
notice, we also requested nominations
for individual negotiators who represent
key stakeholder constituencies that are
involved in the student financial
assistance programs authorized under
Title IV of the HEA to serve on these
committees.
On November 29, 2006, the Secretary
convened a forum on accreditation to
discuss strategies for making higher
education more accessible, affordable,
and accountable and to explore ways to
implement the recommendations of her
Commission on the Future of Higher
Education. One of the goals of the forum
was to take the work that the higher
education community has been doing to
improve the focus on student learning
outcomes and to discuss how to work
together for a more robust, outcomefocused, results-centered accreditation
system that will benefit students and
parents and empower them with
information. The forum also looked at
ways to streamline and improve the
accreditation process to support
innovation, promote consistency in
accreditation standards, increase
accountability, and be more transparent
to the public.
On December 8, 2006, we published
a notice in the Federal Register (71 FR
71117) announcing the establishment of
a negotiating committee to address
PO 00000
Frm 00003

topics related to the Federal student
loan programs authorized by Title IV,
Parts B, D, and E of the HEA. The notice
included the topics that committee was
likely to address, the members of that
committee, and the schedule for that
committee. That committee began
meeting in December 2006.
In addition, the December 8, 2006
notice announced the establishment of a
negotiating committee to address topics
related to the ACG and the National
SMART Grant programs. We list the
members of the ACG and National
SMART Grant committee, the topics
that committee will likely address, and
the schedule for that committee
elsewhere in this notice under ACG and
National SMART Grant Committee
Topics, Members, and Meeting
Schedule.
Finally, the December 8, 2006 notice
extended the deadline to respond to our
request for nominations for individual
negotiators who represent key
stakeholder constituencies to serve on
the ACG and National SMART Grant
programs committee and any additional
negotiating committees that may be
formed to address accreditation, or Title
IV programmatic, institutional
eligibility, and general provisions
topics.
After further consideration of the
information received at the regional
hearings, at the accreditation forum, and
in writing as a result of the notice, we
have decided to establish two additional
negotiating committees. One committee
will address programmatic, institutional
eligibility, and general provisions topics
related to Title IV Parts A (except for
ACG and National SMART Grant
programs), C, G, and H (except subpart
2) of the HEA. The other new committee
will address accreditation topics (Title
IV, Part H of the HEA). We list the
members of these committees, the topics
the committees will likely address, and
the schedule for these committees
elsewhere in this notice under General
Provisions Committee Topics, Members,
and Meeting Schedule and
Accreditation Committee Topics,
Members, and Meeting Schedule.
ACG and National SMART Grant
Committee Topics, Members, and
Meeting Schedule
The topics the ACG and National
SMART Grant Committee is likely to
address are:
• Rigorous secondary school
programs
• Mandatory institutional
participation in ACG and National
SMART Grants
• Eligibility of certificate programs for
ACG
