DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
34 CFR Part 668
RIN 1840-AB84
Student Assistance General Provisions
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Final regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lorraine Kennedy, U.S. Department of Education, 600 Independence
Avenue, SW., (Room 3053, ROB-3) Washington, DC 20202. Telephone (202)
708-7888. 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: Final regulations for the Student Assistance
General Provisions were published in the Federal Register on December
1, 1995 (60 FR 61830 [Ability-to-Benefit]). 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 May 1, 1996. 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.
