SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 22, 2007, we published a notice in the Federal Register (72 FR 59494) announcing our intent to establish one or two negotiated rulemaking committees to prepare proposed regulations under Title IV of the HEA. In the notice, we also announced three hearings where interested parties could suggest issues for consideration by the negotiating committees. We also invited parties to submit issues for consideration in writing. Finally, we requested nominations for individual negotiators, who represent key stakeholder constituencies that are involved in the Federal student aid programs, to serve on these committees. After considering the information we received at the hearings and in writing, we have decided to establish two negotiating committees that will begin meeting in January 2008. The first committee will develop proposed regulations for the TEACH Grant program. The TEACH Grant regulations will be in a new Part 686 in Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The second committee will develop proposed regulations for the Federal student loan programs. In selecting individuals from the submitted nominations, the Department has tried to assemble a balanced and complementary representation of the interests affected by the subject matter, consistent with section 492 of the HEA. PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 We believe the individuals selected will bring valuable knowledge and expertise to the table, and will work as a cohesive unit to assist us in developing proposed regulations that are both reasonable and effective. Individuals that were not selected as members of the committees will be able to attend the meetings and have access to the negotiators. The committee meetings will be open to the public. Participation in the rulemaking process is not limited to members of the committees or those who work with the committees. Following the negotiated rulemaking process, we will publish for public comment proposed regulations in the Federal Register. We anticipate that proposed regulations developed by the TEACH Grant committee will be published in April 2008. We anticipate that proposed regulations developed by the Student Loan committee will be published in June 2008. TEACH Grant Committee Topics, Members, and Meeting Schedule The topics the TEACH Grant Committee are likely to address all relate to the new TEACH Grant program and include: Institutional Eligibility. Program Eligibility. Student Eligibility. Conversion of Grant to Loan. Repayment. Conforming Changes. This list of topics is tentative. Topics may be added as the process continues. The members of the TEACH Grant Committee and the interests they are representing are: Elementary and Secondary Education and Alternative Routes to Teacher Certification: Dr. Nell Ingram, Dallas Independent School District. Four-year Public Institutions: William Graves, Dean, Darden College of Education, Old Dominion University. Sandra Robinson, Dean, College of Education, University of Central Florida.
