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 the Spring and Fall 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:
<bullet> 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.
<bullet> 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)).
<bullet> A reference to where a reader can find the current
regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations.
<bullet> A citation of legal authority.
<bullet> 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 (78 FR 1361, published January 8, 2013), ED is
committed to regulations that improve the quality and equality of
services it provides to its customers. ED will regulate only if
absolutely necessary and then in the most flexible, most equitable, and
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 uncompleted actions 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.
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. Dates of future regulatory
actions are subject to revision in subsequent agendas.

published electronically and is available online at <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>.
