Department of Education October 14, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Secretary announces an extension of the deadline dates for specific filing and reporting activities, including those published in the Federal Register on March 22, 2005, (70 FR 14450), April 13, 2005 (70 FR 19423), and June 7, 2005, (70 FR 33134). The Secretary takes this action as a result of the extensive damage and disruption in the southern United States caused by Hurricane Rita. The new dates apply only to (1) institutions or third-party servicers that are located in a federally-declared disaster area and that were adversely affected by Hurricane Rita, and (2) applicants that are adversely affected by Hurricane Rita. The Secretary notes that the deadline extensions in this notice supplement the extensions published in the Federal Register on September 9, 2005, (70 FR 53640) for parties adversely affected by Hurricane Katrina. In addition, the Secretary reminds affected parties that additional guidance and regulatory relief are provided in Dear Colleague Letter GEN-04-04, available at: https://www.ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/ GEN0404.html.
