The links below are to comments submitted in response to the Federal Register Notice of May 26, 2009 regarding the establishment of negotiated rulemaking committees to prepare proposed regulations under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA).  In addition to announcing the intent to establish these committees, the Department also solicited comments on issues that should be considered for action by the negotiating committees.

The files linked below are the comments received regarding the negotiated rulemaking activities.  These files are all in Portable Document Format (PDF).  If you have difficulty accessing these PDF files, please contact Wendy Macias, either by e-mail or by telephone at (202) 502-7526.  Note that some of these files are large and may take some time to download.
