-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary of Education publishes a semiannual agenda of
Federal regulatory and deregulatory actions. 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.

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 LaTanya

Relay Service (FRS) 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, Office of Management
and Budget, 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 that 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(6)).
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 ED from whom a reader can obtain additional information
regarding the planned action.
In accordance with ED's Principles for Regulating listed in its
regulatory plan (75 FR 79509, published Dec. 20, 2010); ED is committed
to regulations that improve the quality and equality of services to its
customers. ED will regulate only if 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 any regulations listed in this agenda that ED
plans to review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 610) to determine their economic impact on small entities. ED
has determined that none of the regulations in this agenda require
review under section 610.
This publication does not impose any binding obligation on ED with
regard to any specific item in the agenda. ED 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.
