    SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the Student Assistance General Provisions 
    regulations to add the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control 
    number to certain sections of the regulations. These sections contain 
    information collection requirements approved by OMB. The Secretary 
    takes this action to inform the public that these requirements have 
    been approved and affected parties must comply with them.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations are effective on July 1, 1996.

    3053, ROB-3) Washington, D.C. 20202. Telephone (202) 708-7888.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Final regulations for the Student Assistance 
    General Provisions were published in
    
    [[Page 29961]]
    
    the Federal Register on November 29 and December 1, 1995 (60 FR 61424 
    [Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act], 61776 [Student Right-to-Know 
    Act]). Compliance with information collection requirements in certain 
    sections of these regulations was delayed until those requirements were 
    approved by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. OMB approved 
    the information collection requirements in the regulations on March 14, 
    1996 for the graduation rate portion of the Student Right-to-Know Act 
    and Campus Security Act, and March 29, 1996 for the Equity in Athletics 
    Disclosure Act. The information collection requirements in these 
    regulations will therefore become effective with all of the other 
    provisions of the regulations on July 1, 1996.
    
    Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking
    
        It is the practice of the Secretary to offer interested parties the 
    opportunity to comment on proposed regulations. However, the 
    publication of OMB control numbers is purely technical and does not 
    establish substantive policy. Therefore, the Secretary has determined 
    under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), that public comment on the regulations is 
    unnecessary and contrary to the public interest.
