Department of Education May 5, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Privacy, Information and Records Management Services, Office of Management, invites comments on the submission for OMB review as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L 104-13).

We announce our intention to establish one or more negotiated rulemaking committees to propose regulations under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The committees will include representatives of organizations or groups with interests that are significantly affected by the subject matter of the proposed regulations, as described more fully in the Regulatory Issues section of this document. We also announce three public hearings, at which interested parties may suggest additional issues that should be considered for action by the negotiating committees. In addition, for anyone unable to attend a public hearing, we announce that the Department will accept written comments. Finally, the Department announces that it will conduct roundtable discussions that focus on the areas of teacher preparation, college completion, and the Department's proposed ``First in the World'' competition, as more fully described in the Roundtable Discussions section of this document.
