In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (Privacy Act), the Department of Education (Department) publishes this notice of a new system of records entitled ``National Title I Study of Implementation and Outcomes: Early Childhood Language Development'' (18-13-28). The National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance at the Department's Institute of Education Sciences (IES) awarded a contract in September 2009 to Mathematica Policy Research to conduct the Title I study. The system of records will contain information on approximately 1,000 teachers, 5,000 students, and 5,000 parents from 100 Title I schools with prekindergarten programs in 11 school districts.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 3501 et seq.), ED is proposing an extension of an existing information collection.

On June 12, 2013, we announced our intention to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee to prepare proposed regulations to establish standards for programs that prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation. We also announced the schedule for committee meetings. Because of the Federal Government shutdown due to a lapse in appropriations, we are rescheduling the second session of committee meetings to November 18-20, 2013. In addition, the last day of the second session will end at 5:00 p.m. instead of at noon.
