E6-13901. Student Assistance General Provisions; Federal Perkins Loan Program; Federal Work-Study Programs; Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program; Federal Family Education Loan Program; William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan ...

AGENCY:

Office of Postsecondary Education, Department of Education.

ACTION:

Interim final regulations; Corrections.

SUMMARY:

On July 3, 2006, we published in the Federal Register (71 FR 37990) interim final regulations for the Academic Competitiveness Grant and National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant programs. The interim final regulations also amended the Student Assistance General Provisions, Federal Perkins Loan Program, Federal Work-Study Programs, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program, Federal Family Education Loan Program, William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, and Federal Pell Grant Program.

In the DATES section of that notice, we inadvertently left two regulations off the list of regulations that contain information collection requirements with which affected parties need not comply until we publish in the Federal Register the control numbers assigned to these information collection requirements by the Office of Management and Budget. This notice corrects the error as follows:

On page 37990, in the second column, under the DATES section, in the third sentence, insert “691.16, 691.82,” immediately following “691.15,”.

In addition, we inadvertently included an incorrect citation in the notice of interim final regulations. This notice corrects the error as follows:

On page 37993, in the third column, in the first sentence of the paragraph beginning “Reason:”, replace “34 CFR 660.2” with “34 CFR 600.2”.
