Removal of Regulations
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Final regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to
remove unnecessary and obsolete regulations. As a result of new
legislation, absence of funding, and review in accordance with the
President's regulatory reinvention initiative, the Secretary has
determined [[Page 27224]] that these regulations are no longer needed.
The Secretary takes this action to remove the regulations from the CFR.
EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations are effective June 22, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenneth C. Depew, U.S. Department of
Education, Room 5112, FB-10, 600 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington,
DC 20202-2241. Telephone: (202) 401-8300. 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: President Clinton's memorandum of March 4,
1995, titled ``Regulatory Reinvention Initiative'' directed heads of
departments and agencies to review all existing regulations to
eliminate those that are outdated and modify others to increase
flexibility and reduce burden. The Department has undertaken a thorough
review of its existing regulations and has identified the regulations
removed by this document as obsolete and unnecessary.
The regulations being removed are no longer necessary to administer
the program, have been superseded by new legislation, or were issued to
implement a program that is no longer funded. To the extent that
regulations are needed to implement new legislation, they will be
issued separately from this document. Any determination to issue new
regulations will be carefully considered to ensure that it is
consistent with the President's regulatory reform efforts and the
principles in Executive Order 12866.
In consultation with customers and partners, the Department is also
reviewing its other existing regulations thoroughly at this time, and
those regulations will be amended as appropriate to eliminate or revise
outdated provisions, reduce burden, or increase flexibility. Amendments
that can be accomplished without statutory changes are expected to be
published for public comment as soon as the reviews are completed and
regulatory changes are drafted. For example, the notice of proposed
rulemaking published on May 1, 1995 (60 FR 21400), implementing
amendments to the Title I--Helping Disadvantaged Children Meet High
Standards program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of
1965, as amended by the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994,
includes the removal of four additional parts. In addition, the
Secretary will seek appropriate statutory changes if legislative
authority is required in order to achieve regulatory reform.
Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking
In accordance with section 437 of the General Education Provisions
Act (20 U.S.C. 1232) 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, these
regulations merely reflect statutory changes and remove unnecessary and
obsolete regulatory provisions. Removal of the regulations does not
establish or affect substantive policy. Therefore, the Secretary has
determined, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), that public comment is
unnecessary and contrary to the public interest.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980
These regulations have been examined under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1980 and have been found to contain no information collection
requirements.
Assessment of Educational Impact
Based on its own review, the Department has determined that the
regulations in this document do not require transmission of information
that is being gathered by or is available from any other agency or
authority of the United States.
