Department of Education May 13, 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In May 2012, we announced our intention to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee to prepare proposed regulations for the Federal Student Aid programs authorized under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (title IV Federal Student Aid programs). On April 16, 2013, we announced additional topics for consideration by that committee and three public hearings at which interested parties may comment. We now announce a fourth public hearing at which interested parties may comment on the topics suggested by the Department and may suggest additional topics for consideration for action by the negotiated rulemaking committee. We extend the deadline date for the submission of written comments to June 4, 2013.
