Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Education.
ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.
_______________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY: The Secretary of Education publishes a semiannual agenda of
Federal regulations. 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 Sandy
Jablonski, Division of Regulatory Services, Office of the General
Counsel, Department of Education, Room 6E107, FB-6, 400 Maryland Avenue

who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the
Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) 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, OMB, 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, which 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(b)).
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 the Department from whom a reader can obtain additional information
regarding the planned action.
In accordance with the Secretary's Principles for Regulating
listed in the Department's regulatory plan, the Department of
Education is committed to regulating that improves the quality and
equality of services to its customers, learners of all ages. ED
will regulate only when 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 regulations listed in this
agenda that are designated for periodic review under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610).
We will also review all regulations that are published to
ensure that, if appropriate, those regulations support the National
Education Goals.
This publication in the Federal Register does not impose any
binding obligation on the Department with regard to any specific
item in the agenda. The Department 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.

733. STUDENT RIGHTS IN RESEARCH, EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAMS, AND TESTING
Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 20 USC 1232h
CFR Citation: 34 CFR 98
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: These regulations are needed to implement section 1017 of the
Goals 2000: Educate America Act (Pub. L. 103-227, 20 U.S.C. 1232h).
That provision amends the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA)
to require schools, in certain instances, to make specific educational
materials available to parents for inspection. The provision also
amends the PPRA to prohibit schools from requiring a student to submit
to certain surveys, analyses, or evaluations without prior parental
consent. The regulations are being developed in accordance with the
Department's Principles for Regulating.

suspension actions and limitation, suspension, and termination actions
under title IV of the HEA. Additionally, these regulations set the
dollar threshold on prohibited lower-tier procurement transactions with
excluded persons at $25,000. These regulations also relocate the Drug-
Free Workplace Act regulations in a separate part from the debarment
and suspension regulations.
