Legal Services Corporation May 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Legal Services Corporation (``LSC'' or ``Corporation'') is republishing for additional comment previously proposed amendments (with certain additional revisions) to its regulations relating to financial eligibility for LSC-funded legal services. The proposed revisions are intended to reorganize the regulation to make it easier to read and follow; simplify and streamline the requirements of the rule to ease administrative burdens faced by LSC recipients in implementing the regulation and to aid LSC in enforcement of the regulation; and to clarify the focus of the regulation on the financial eligibility of applicants for LSC-funded legal services.

As part of its ongoing efforts to improve the administration of regulatory programs and requirements, Legal Services Corporation is soliciting suggestions for the possible clarification, modification, revision or deletion of existing LSC regulations, looking toward the development of a regulatory agenda and priorities for the years 2005- 2006.
