SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 29, 2024, the Department published
in the Federal Register final regulations amending the Education
Department General Administrative Regulations and related regulatory
provisions (89 FR 70300). Those final regulations contain technical
errors, which we are correcting. This document does not contain any
substantive changes to the regulations.
Specifically, we are correcting:
<bullet> The wording of the regulatory text being replaced in Sec.
75.50;
<bullet> Section 75.210 by restoring a selection criterion factor
from the current regulation which was inadvertently omitted from the
revisions to that section;
<bullet> One paragraph designation in Sec. 75.225;
<bullet> Punctuation in the section heading for Sec. 75.591 to
maintain the format of the current heading;
<bullet> The wording of the regulatory text being replaced in the
amendatory instruction for Sec. 76.100;
<bullet> The section number in the amendatory instruction for Sec.
76.564;
<bullet> A reference to Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, or
``CFDA number,'' in Sec. 76.711, and making a related conforming edit
to replace that term with Assistance Listing Number, or ``ALN'';
<bullet> The instruction for Sec. 76.783, to remove only one
instance of the word ``or''; and
<bullet> A typo in the instruction for Sec. 79.4.
Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking and Delayed Effective Date
In accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553, the Department generally offers interested parties the opportunity
to comment on proposed regulations. However, the APA provides that an
agency is not required to conduct notice-and-comment rulemaking when
the agency, for good cause, finds that notice and public comment
thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
[[Page 79147]]
to the public interest (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)). There is good cause to
waive rulemaking here as unnecessary.
Rulemaking is ``unnecessary'' in those situations in which ``the
administrative rule is a routine determination, insignificant in nature
and impact, and inconsequential to the industry and to the public.''
Utility Solid Waste Activities Group v. EPA, 236 F.3d 749, 755 (D.C.
Cir. 2001), quoting U.S. Department of Justice, Attorney General's
Manual on the Administrative Procedure Act 31 (1947) and South Carolina
v. Block, 558 F. Supp. 1004, 1016 (D.S.C. 1983). The regulatory changes
in this document are necessary to correct technical errors and do not
establish any new substantive rules and do not make substantive changes
to these regulations. Therefore, the Department has determined that
publication of a proposed rule is unnecessary under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B).
The APA generally requires that regulations be published at least
30 days before their effective date, unless the agency has good cause
to implement its regulations sooner (5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)). As previously
stated, because the regulatory changes correct errors, there is good
cause to waive the delayed effective date in the APA and make the
corrections effective September 30, 2024.
