authority of section 4(b) of Executive 

Order 12866 ‘‘Regulatory Planning and

to encourage more effective public 

participation in the regulatory process 

by providing the public with early 

information about pending regulatory 

activities.

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 

(74 FR 64194, published December 7, 

2009); 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.

The entire Unified Agenda is 

published electronically and is available
