SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 12, 2013, we published a notice in
the Federal Register (78 FR 35179) announcing our intention to
establish a negotiated rulemaking committee to prepare proposed
regulations for the Federal Student Aid programs authorized under title
IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) (title IV
Federal Student Aid programs) that would establish standards for
programs that prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized
occupation. In that notice, we set a schedule for two sessions of
committee meetings and requested nominations for individual negotiators
who represent key stakeholder constituencies for the issues to be
negotiated to serve on the committee.

announced in the Federal Register (78 FR 66865) that we were
rescheduling the second session of committee meetings from October 21-
23, 2013, to November 18-20, 2013, with the meeting on the final day
