Regulations.gov Thursday, May 21, 2015 Unified Agenda
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. 

Regulations.gov Thursday, May 21, 2015 Unified Agenda
 In accordance with ED's Principles for Regulating listed in its regulatory plan (78 FR 1361, 

published January 8, 2013), 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 uncompleted actions 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. 

 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.

Title: Significant Disproportionality

Abstract: 

The Secretary will amend regulations under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which govern the

Assistance to States for the Education of Children with Disabilities program. Section 618(d) requires States to determine if there

is significant disproportionality based on race and ethnicity within the State and local educational agencies in the identification of

children as children with disabilities; the placement in particular educational settings of these children; and the incidence,

duration, and type of disciplinary actions, including suspensions and expulsions, taken against these children. Currently,

significant disproportionality is defined individually by each State. The new regulations will define and provide a national standard

methodology for calculating significant disproportionality.

Title: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

Abstract: 

WIOA was signed into law on July 22, 2014. It replaced the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, and amended the WagnerPeyser Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. WIOA promotes the integration of the workforce development system's four core

programs. In collaboration with the Department of Labor (DOL), the Department must issue an NPRM by January 8, 2015 and

final regulations by January 22, 2016. To meet this statutory timeline, the Department will work with DOL on various issues. The

Department will also regulate on the programs it administers under the Rehabilitation Act that were changed by WIOA.

Title: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

Abstract: 

The Departments of Education (ED) and Labor (DOL) are proposing, through this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), to

implement jointly-administered activities authorized by title I of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) (Pub. L.

113-128). Through these regulations, the Departments propose to implement job training system reforms and strengthen the

nation’s workforce development system to put Americans back to work and make the United States more competitive in the 21st

Century. This joint proposed rule provides guidance for State and local workforce development systems that increase the skill

and credential attainment, employment, retention, and earnings of participants, especially those with significant barriers to

employment, thereby improving the quality of the workforce, reducing welfare dependency, and enhancing the productivity and

competitiveness of the nation.

WIOA strengthened the alignment of the workforce development system’s six core programs by imposing unified strategic

planning requirements, common performance accountability measures, and requirements governing the one-stop delivery

system. In so doing, WIOA placed heightened emphasis on coordination and collaboration at the Federal, State, and local levels

to ensure a streamlined and coordinated service delivery system for job seekers, including those with disabilities, and

employers. To that end, the Departments of Education and Labor propose to issue this joint NPRM to implement jointlyadministered activities under title I of WIOA. These regulations lay the foundation, through coordination and collaboration at the

Federal level, for implementing the vision and goals of WIOA.
