INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSMITTAL

OF APPLICATIONS

Note: Some of the procedures in these

differ from those in the Education

Department General Administrative

the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.

553) the Department generally offers

interested parties the opportunity to

comment on proposed regulations. However,

these amendments make procedural changes

only and do not establish new substantive

policy. Therefore, under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A),

the Secretary has determined that proposed

rulemaking is not required.
