and to directly distribute the disclosure 

template to prospective students. 

On January 6 and January 19, 2017, 

the Department announced dates by 

which institutions subject to the GE 

regulations must comply with certain 

provisions of the GE regulations, 

including the requirements in 34 CFR 

668.412(d) and (e). On March 6, 2017, 

the Department announced that it was 

allowing additional time, until July 1, 

2017, to comply with those 

requirements. On June 30, 2017 in an 

electronic announcement and in a 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on July 5, 2017, the Department 

announced that it was allowing 

additional time, until July 1, 2018, to 

comply with those requirements and 

invited comment (82 FR 30975). The 

Department received 45 comments on 

that action. Many commenters 

expressed general support for the GE 

regulations, while others expressed 

general opposition to the GE 

regulations. One commenter 

recommended the development of a 

mass upload tool for GE disclosure 

templates. Another commenter 

requested the Department review the 

information that had to be disclosed for 

GE programs, as they contended the 

disclosures were confusing to students. 

Other commenters provided comments 

on other aspects of the GE regulations, 

such as on the alternate earnings 

appeals process, the student warning 

requirement, and the reporting 

requirements. 

From December 4, 2017, through 

March 15, 2018, the Department 

conducted three negotiated rulemaking 

sessions related to the GE regulations. 

The committee did not reach consensus. 

The Department intends to develop 

proposed regulations that would replace 

the GE regulations. As part of this 

rulemaking process, the Department 

continues to evaluate the efficacy of 

these disclosures to students, including 

the manner in which the GE regulations 

would require institutions make these 

disclosures, and the burden associated 

with the implementation of these 

requirements. As the Department 

continues to review the utility of these 

requirements in connection with the 

proposed rulemaking, we are allowing 

institutions additional time—until July 

1, 2019—to comply with the provisions 

in 34 CFR 668.412(d) and (e). The 

requirements in 34 CFR 668.412(a), (b), 

and (c) that schools post disclosures on 

their program websites using the 

approved disclosure template provided 

by the Department and that those 

disclosures be updated annually remain 

in effect. 

We are inviting your comments on 

this action. We will consider these 

comments in determining whether to 

take any future action in connection 

with the implementation of the 

disclosure requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

17, 2018, the U.S. Copyright Office 

issued a proposed rulemaking to update 

its regulations governing the group 

registration option for newsletters, 

which are defined in part as a class of 

serials that are published at least two 

days each week. The Office proposed 

several changes, such as requiring 

applicants to submit their applications 

and deposit copies through the Office’s 

electronic registration system instead of 

submitting paper applications and 

physical deposit copies, amending the 

definition of ‘‘newsletter,’’ updating the 

eligibility requirements for this group 

registration option, and removing the 

requirement that newsletter publishers 

provide the Library of Congress with 

complimentary subscriptions or 

microfilm of the newsletter and the 

effect of this change on newsletter 

publishers in satisfying their obligations 

under the mandatory deposit 

requirement.1 The Office invited public 

comment on the notice of proposed 

rulemaking, to be provided by no later 

than June 18, 2018. However, to ensure 

that members of the public have 

sufficient time to respond, and to ensure 

that the Office has the benefit of a 

complete record, the Office is extending 

the submission deadline by an 

additional thirty days. Written
