VIII. Effective Date 

17. These regulations are effective on 

May 1, 2010. In accordance with 5 

U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Commission finds 

that good cause exists to make this Final 

Rule effective less than 30 days after its 

publication in the Federal Register. The 

rule concerns a matter of administrative 

procedures and does not affect the rights 

of persons appearing before the 

Commission. Therefore, there is no 

reason to make it effective at a later 

time. 

18. The provisions of 5 U.S.C. 801 

regarding Congressional review of Final 

Rules do not apply to this Final Rule, 

because the rule concerns agency 

procedure and practice and will not 

substantially affect the rights of nonagency parties. 

19. The Commission is issuing this as 

a Final Rule without a period for public 

comment. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), notice 

and comment procedures are 

unnecessary where a rulemaking 

concerns only agency procedure and 

practice, or where the agency finds that 

notice and comment is unnecessary. 

This rule concerns only matters of 

agency procedure and will not 

significantly affect regulated entities or 

the general public.

Magnet Schools Assistance Program 

AGENCY: Office of Innovation and 

Improvement, Department of Education. 

ACTION: Interim final rule; reopening 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: On March 4, 2010, the 

Department of Education published in 

the Federal Register an interim final 

rule and requested comments on that 

rule for the Magnet Schools Assistance 

Program (MSAP). The rule became 

effective March 4, 2010, and the 

comment period for the interim final 

rule ended on April 5, 2010. During the 

comment period, the Department 

received requests asking that the 

Department extend the comment period 

for the interim final rule. This document 

announces the reopening of the 

comment period. 

DATES: The Department reopens the 

public comment period for the interim 

final rule that was published in the 

Federal Register on March 4, 2010 

(75 FR 9777). Comments must be 

received on or before May 17, 2010.

through the Federal eRulemaking Portal 

or via postal mail, commercial delivery,

comments by fax or by e-mail. Please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department reopens the public 

comment period for the interim final 

rule that was published in the Federal 

Register on March 4, 2010 (75 FR 9777) 

because we have determined that a 

longer comment period would provide 

local educational agencies submitting 

grant applications under the MSAP for 

fiscal year (FY) 2010 funding and other 

interested parties an opportunity to 

submit comments on the interim rule 

after the May 3, 2010 application 

deadline date announced for the FY 

2010 grant competition in the notice 

inviting applications published on 

March 4, 2010 (75 FR 9879). 

The Department believes this 

approach will improve the quality of 

information available for rulemaking, so 

the Secretary is reopening the comment 

period. 

Dated: April 16, 2010.

Assistant Deputy Secretary for Innovation and

Fee-Generating Cases; Use of NonLSC Funds, Transfers of LSC Funds, 

Program Integrity; Attorneys’ Fees 

AGENCY: Legal Services Corporation. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: On February 11, 2010, LSC 

issued an Interim Final Rule and 

Request for Comments repealing its 

regulatory prohibition on the claiming 

of, and the collection and retention of 

attorneys’ fees pursuant to Federal and 

State law permitting or requiring the 

awarding of such fees. The action was 

taken in accordance with the 

elimination on the statutory prohibition 

on attorneys’ fees in LSC’s FY 2010 

appropriation legislation. The rule 

moved provisions on accounting for and 

use of attorneys’ fees and acceptance of 

reimbursements from clients from part 

1642 (which was eliminated) to part 

1609 of LSC’s regulations. LSC also 

made technical changes to its 

regulations to remove cross references to 

the obsolete statutory and regulatory 

citations. With this document, LSC is 

responding to the comments received 

and confirming the February 11 rule as 

final without change. 

DATES: This final rule is effective April 

26, 2010.
