    AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Education.
    
    ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.
    
    _______________________________________________________________________
    
    SUMMARY: The Secretary of Education publishes a semiannual agenda of 
    Federal regulatory and deregulatory actions. The agenda is issued under 
    the authority of section 4(b) of Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory 
    Planning and Review.'' The purpose of the agenda is to encourage more 
    effective public participation in the regulatory process by providing 
    the public with early information about pending regulatory activities.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions or comments related to 
    specific regulations listed in this agenda should be directed to the 
    agency contact listed for the regulations. Questions or comments 
    related to preparation of this agenda should be directed to Stanley M. 
    Cohen, Division of Regulatory Services, Office of the General Counsel, 
    Department of Education, Room 6E117, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., 
    Washington, DC 20202-2241; telephone: (202) 401-6305. Individuals who 
    use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal 
    Relay Service (FRS) at 1-800-877-8339.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 4(b) of Executive Order 12866, dated 
    September 30, 1993, requires the Department of Education (ED) to 
    publish, at a time and in a manner specified by the Administrator of 
    the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management 
    and Budget, an agenda of all regulations under development or review. 
    The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 602(a), requires ED to 
    publish, in October and April of each year, a regulatory flexibility 
    agenda.
    
        The regulatory flexibility agenda may be combined with any 
    other agenda that satisfies the statutory requirements (5 U.S.C. 
    605(a)). In compliance with the Executive Order and the Regulatory 
    Flexibility Act, the Secretary publishes this agenda.
    
        For each set of regulations listed, the agenda provides the 
    title of the document, the type of document, a citation to any 
    rulemaking or other action taken since publication of the most 
    recent agenda, and planned dates of future rulemaking. In addition, 
    the agenda provides the following information:
    
     An abstract that includes a description of the problem to be 
    addressed, any principal alternatives being considered, and potential 
    costs and benefits of the action.
    
     An indication of whether the planned action is likely to have 
    significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
    as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601(6)).
    
     A reference to where a reader can find the current regulations 
    in the Code of Federal Regulations.
    
     A citation of legal authority.
    
     The name, address, and telephone number of the contact person 
    at ED from whom a reader can obtain additional information regarding 
    the planned action.
    
        In accordance with ED's Principles for Regulating listed in its 
    regulatory plan (74 FR 64194, published December 7, 2009); ED is 
    committed to regulations that improve the quality and equality of 
    services to its customers. ED will regulate only if absolutely 
    necessary and then in the most flexible, most equitable, least 
    burdensome way possible.
    
        Interested members of the public are invited to comment on any 
    of the items listed in this agenda that they believe are not 
    consistent with the Principles for Regulating. Members of the 
    public are also invited to comment on any regulations listed in 
    this agenda that ED plans to review under section 610 of the 
    Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610) to determine their 
    economic impact on small entities. ED has determined that none of 
    the regulations in this agenda require review under section 610.
    
        This publication does not impose any binding obligation on ED 
    with regard to any specific item in the agenda. ED may elect not to 
    pursue any of the regulatory actions listed here, and regulatory 
    action in addition to the items listed is not precluded. Dates of 
    future regulatory actions are subject to revision in subsequent 
    agendas.
