DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
34 CFR Part 685
RIN 1840-AC11
Federal Direct Student Loan Program
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Final Standards, Criteria, and Procedures, compliance with
information collection requirements.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the final Standards, Criteria, and
Procedures under the Federal Direct Student Loan (Direct Loan) Program
to add the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control numbers to
certain sections of the Standards, Criteria, and Procedures. Those
sections contain information collection requirements approved by OMB.
The Secretary takes this action to inform the public that these
requirements have been approved, and therefore affected parties must
comply with them.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 19, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rachel Edelstein, U.S. Department of
Education, 600 Independence Avenue, S.W., Room 3012, ROB-3, Washington,
D.C. 20202. Telephone (202) 708-9406. Individuals who use a
telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m., and
8 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1, 1994, final Standards, Criteria,
and Procedures were published in the Federal Register governing the
repayment and consolidation of loans under the Federal Direct Student
Loan (Direct Loan) Program in the academic year beginning July 1, 1994
(59 FR 34278). Compliance with information collection requirements in
34 CFR 685.209, 685.213, 685.214, and 685.215 was delayed until those
requirements were approved by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1980. On September 23, 1994 OMB approved those information collection
requirements under that Act; therefore affected parties must now comply
with those requirements.
Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking
In accordance with section 431(b)(2)(A) of the General Education
Provisions Act (20 U.S.C. 1232(b)(2)(A)) and the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553), 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 proposed
rulemaking is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest and that
a delayed effective date is not required under 5 U.S.C 553(d)(3).
