DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI);
Organization, Functions, and Authority Delegations
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Extension of closing date notice to solicit public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice of extension of closing date is to
allow the public--particularly school officials, teachers, and college
and university faculty--additional time to prepare and submit their
comments. Many of these educators only very recently became aware of
the notice and will not be able to meet the September 6, 1994 deadline.
Also, many other potential commenters have been away from work during
the comment period (summer months) and have neither received nor been
given information on the public notice. An extension of the comment
period will permit many more educators and other interested parties to
submit comments and recommendations.
DATES: The revised deadline for receipt of comments on implementing the
``Educational Research, Development, Dissemination, and Improvement Act
of 1994'' is November 9, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Comments responding to the July 7 Federal Register notice
should be addressed to Dr. Laurence Peters, U.S. Department of
Education, 555 New Jersey Avenue, NW., room 600, Washington, DC 20208-
5530. Comments may also be sent to the Department of Education at the
Internet electronic mail address: reauth-comments@inet.ed.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 7, 1994, the Department of Education
published a notice in the Federal Register (59 FR 34802) inviting the
public to comment on the implementation by the Office of Educational
Research and Improvement (OERI) of its new authorizing legislation, the
``Educational Research, Development, Dissemination, and Improvement Act
of 1994.'' Comments will be used to help the Assistant Secretary plan
for the reorganization of OERI and the activities it will carry out, as
well as establish, in collaboration with the National Educational
Research Policy and Priorities Board, priorities for OERI's future
work. Detailed information on the statutory requirements of the
``Educational Research, Development, Dissemination, and Improvement Act
of 1994'' and on issues of special interest to the Assistant Secretary
were included in the July 7 notice. The notice indicated that comments
must be received on or before September 6, 1994.
