without failure, but allows for some 

deformation in the structure. 

The FAA concludes that modern large 

engines, including those on the GVI, are 

novel and unusual compared to those 

envisioned when § 25.361(b)(1) was 

adopted and thus warrant special 

conditions. The proposed special 

conditions contain design criteria 

recommended by ARAC. The proposed 

special conditions also clarify the 

design criteria that apply to auxiliary 

power units. 

Applicability 

As discussed above, these proposed 

special conditions are applicable to the 

GVI. Should Gulfstream apply at a later 

date for a change to the type certificate 

to include another model incorporating 

the same novel or unusual design 

features, these proposed special 

conditions would apply to that model as 

well. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only certain novel 

or unusual design features of the GVI. It 

is not a rule of general applicability.

and recordkeeping requirements. 

The authority citation for these 

special conditions is as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 

44702, 44704. 

The Proposed Special Conditions 

Accordingly, the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes the 

following special conditions as part of 

the type certification basis for the GVI 

airplanes. 

In lieu of § 25.361(b) the following 

special conditions are proposed: 

1. For turbine engine installations, the 

engine mounts, pylons and adjacent 

supporting airframe structure must be 

designed to withstand 1g level flight 

loads acting simultaneously with the 

maximum limit torque loads imposed 

by each of the following: 

(a) Sudden engine deceleration due to 

a malfunction which could result in a 

temporary loss of power or thrust; and 

(b) The maximum acceleration of the 

engine. 

2. For auxiliary power unit 

installations, the power unit mounts 

and adjacent supporting airframe 

structure must be designed to withstand 

1g level flight loads acting 

simultaneously with the maximum limit 

torque loads imposed by each of the 

following: 

(a) Sudden auxiliary power unit 

deceleration due to malfunction or 

structural failure; and 

(b) The maximum acceleration of the 

power unit. 

3. For engine supporting structure, an 

ultimate loading condition must be 

considered that combines 1g flight loads 

with the transient dynamic loads 

resulting from: 

(a) The loss of any fan, compressor, or 

turbine blade; and 

(b) Separately, where applicable to a 

specific engine design, any other engine 

structural failure that results in higher 

loads. 

4. The ultimate loads developed from 

the conditions specified in paragraphs 

3(a) and 3(b) are to be multiplied by a 

factor of 1.0 when applied to engine 

mounts and pylons and multiplied by a 

factor of 1.25 when applied to adjacent 

supporting airframe structure. 

5. Any permanent deformation that 

results from the conditions specified in 

paragraph 3 must not prevent continued 

safe flight and landing.

[Docket ID ED–2011–OPE–0003] 

Negotiated Rulemaking Committees; 

Public Hearings 

AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary 

Education, Department of Education. 

ACTION: Intent to establish negotiated 

rulemaking committees. 

SUMMARY: We announce our intention to 

establish one or more negotiated 

rulemaking committees to propose 

regulations under the Higher Education 

Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The 

committees will include representatives 

of organizations or groups with interests 

that are significantly affected by the 

subject matter of the proposed 

regulations, as described more fully in 

the Regulatory Issues section of this 

document. We also announce three

the negotiating committees. In addition, 

for anyone unable to attend a public 

hearing, we announce that the 

Department will accept written 

comments. 

Finally, the Department announces 

that it will conduct roundtable 

discussions that focus on the areas of 

teacher preparation, college completion, 

and the Department’s proposed ‘‘First in 

the World’’ competition, as more fully 

described in the Roundtable Discussions 

section of this document. 

DATES: The dates, times, and locations

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

492 of the HEA requires that, before 

publishing any proposed regulations to 

implement programs authorized under 

title IV of the HEA, the Secretary obtain 

public involvement in the development 

of the proposed regulations. After 

obtaining advice and recommendations 

from the public, the Secretary conducts 

negotiated rulemaking to develop the 

proposed regulations. We announce our 

intent to develop proposed title IV, HEA 

regulations by following the negotiated 

rulemaking procedures in section 492 of 

the HEA. 

We intend to select participants for 

each negotiated rulemaking committees 

from nominees of the organizations and 

groups that represent the interests 

significantly affected by the proposed 

regulations. To the extent possible, we 

will select, from the nominees, 

individual negotiators who reflect the 

diversity among program participants, 

in accordance with section 492(b)(1) of 

the HEA. 

In addition, the Secretary is interested 

in receiving public comment on the 

issues summarized in the Roundtable 

Discussions section of this notice. The 

Secretary is particularly interested in 

receiving public comment on the 

development of proposed regulations 

under sections 205 and 207 in title II of 

the HEA on streamlining institutional 

reporting requirements and improving 

State identification of low-performing 

teacher preparation programs. 

Regulatory Issues 

We intend to convene at least one 

committee to develop proposed 

regulations to address title IV loan 

program issues. These regulations 

would address issues such as those 

arising from the changes made to the 

HEA by the Student Aid Fiscal 

Responsibility Act (SAFRA), title II of 

the Health Care and Education 

Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111– 

152), which ended the origination of 

loans under the Federal Family 

Education Loan (FFEL) Program as of 

July 1, 2010. With this statutory change, 

all new Stafford, PLUS and 

Consolidation loan originations with a 

first disbursement on or after July 1, 

2010, are made under the William D. 

Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) 

Program. As a result of the statutory 

change, the Department intends to 

streamline the loan program regulations 

by repealing unnecessary FFEL Program 

regulations in 34 CFR part 682 and 

incorporating and modifying necessary 

requirements within the Direct Loan 

Program regulations in 34 CFR part 685, 

as appropriate. In addition, we intend to 

address, through negotiated rulemaking, 

other issues in the Federal student loan 

programs, including possible changes in 

the regulations governing the incomecontingent and income-based repayment 

plans and the process for making total 

and permanent disability 

determinations. 

As noted elsewhere in this notice, we 

are also considering developing 

proposed regulations to streamline 

institutional reporting requirements, 

and proposed regulations regarding 

better State identification of lowperforming teacher preparation 

programs pursuant to sections 205 and 

207 of the HEA through focusing 

reporting on improved measures of 

program quality. 

After a complete review of the public 

comments presented at the public 

hearings and in the written submissions, 

we will publish a subsequent document 

(or documents) announcing the specific 

subject areas for which we intend to 

establish one or more negotiated 

rulemaking committees, and a request 

for nominations for individual 

negotiators who represent the interests 

significantly affected by the proposed 

regulations. 

Public Hearings 

We will hold three public hearings for 

interested parties to discuss the 

rulemaking agenda. The public hearings 

will be held on: 

• May 16, 2011, at Pacific Lutheran 

University in Tacoma, Washington 

• May 19, 2011, at Loyola UniversityLakeshore Campus in Chicago, Illinois 

• May 26, 2011, at College of 

Charleston in Charleston, South 

Carolina 

The public hearings will be held from 

9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., local time. 

Further information on the public 

hearing sites, including addresses and 

directions, is available at http:// 

www2.ed.gov/policy/highered/reg/ 

hearulemaking/2011/hearings.html. 

Individuals desiring to present 

comments at the public hearings must 

register by sending an e-mail to 

negreg.2011@ed.gov. The e-mail should 

include the name of the presenter along 

with a general timeframe during which 

the individual would like to speak (for 

example, a presenter could indicate 

morning or afternoon, or before 11:00 

a.m. or after 3:00 p.m.). We will attempt 

to accommodate each speaker’s 

preference but, if we are unable to do so, 

we will make the determination based 

on the time and date the e-mail was 

received. It is likely that each 

participant will be limited to five 

minutes. The Department will notify 

registrants indicating the specific 

location and time slot reserved for them. 

An individual may make only one 

presentation at the public hearings. If 

we receive more registrations than we 

are able to accommodate, the 

Department reserves the right to reject 

the registration of an entity or 

individual that is affiliated with an 

entity or individual that is already 

scheduled to present comments, and to 

select among registrants to ensure that a 

broad range of entities and individuals 

is allowed to present. We will accept 

walk-in registrations for any remaining 

time slots on a first-come first-served 

basis beginning at 8:30 a.m. on the day 

of the public hearing at the 

Department’s on-site registration table. 

Speakers may also submit written 

comments. In addition, for anyone who 

does not present comments at a public 

hearing, the Department will accept 

written comments through May 20, 

2011. (See the ADDRESSES sections of 

this document for submission 

information.) 

Roundtable Discussions 

On the day following each public 

hearing, the Department intends to 

conduct roundtable discussions at the 

same location as each public hearing, 

from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. local time. 

The Department also intends to conduct 

roundtable discussions from 9:00 a.m. to 

1:00 p.m. local time at Tennessee State 

University in Nashville, Tennessee on 

May 12, 2011. The Department may 

hold additional roundtable discussions, 

which will be announced on the 

Department’s Web site at: http:// 

www2.ed.gov/policy/highered/reg/ 

hearulemaking/2011/roundtable.html. 

These roundtable discussions are 

intended to complement the hearings, 

which will have a broader focus, and 

inform the policy development process 

in the specific areas of teacher 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
25652 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 87 / Thursday, May 5, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

preparation, college completion, and a 

‘‘First in the World’’ competition. For 

those unable to attend one of the policy 

roundtable discussions, we will also 

accept written comments and 

suggestions on the topics discussed at 

the roundtable. 

The Department intends to use these 

roundtable discussions to inform our 

postsecondary education policies in 

three key areas—teacher preparation, 

college completion, and the proposed 

‘‘First in the World’’ grant competition, 

proposed in the President’s fiscal year 

(FY) 2012 budget under the Fund for the 

Improvement of Postsecondary 

Education (FIPSE). The three roundtable 

discussions at each of the four locations 

announced above will each focus on one 

of these areas. 

The first topic will be the design and 

implementation plans for teacher 

preparation programs. We will discuss: 

(1) The proposed Presidential Teaching 

Fellows program along with the already 

authorized Honorable Augustus F. 

Hawkins Centers for Excellence program 

(subpart 2, part B, title II of the HEA) for 

which the Administration has requested 

funding; (2) ways in which the 

Department can streamline institutional 

reporting requirements; and (3) State 

identification of low-performing teacher 

preparation programs pursuant to 

sections 205 and 207 of the HEA. 

A second topic will be college 

completion, with a focus on obtaining 

information about State-level reform 

efforts that show the most promise for 

increasing college completion. We will 

also discuss the College Completion 

Incentive Grants program, proposed in 

the President’s fiscal year (FY) 2012 

budget, which would encourage States 

to make systemic reforms in their higher 

education systems to increase the 

number of students who complete a 

postsecondary degree or certificate 

program and also reward institutions 

within those States that increase their 

completion rates. 

The third topic will be possible 

priorities and structure for the (FIPSE) 

‘‘First in the World’’ competition. The 

purpose of this discussion is to obtain 

information about institutional reform 

efforts that show the most promise for 

increasing college completion, 

expanding institutional capacity, and 

improving quality of student outcomes. 

This input will be used to inform the 

development of competitive preferences 

and invitational priorities and the 

structure of the FIPSE ‘‘First in the 

World’’ competition. 

While the Department is inviting 

representatives of students, families, 

teachers, teacher educators, college 

access professionals, and college 

success practitioners to participate in 

these roundtable discussions, the 

roundtable discussions will also be 

open to the public, with opportunities 

to provide public comment. Individuals 

desiring to participate in the roundtable 

discussions must register by sending an 

email to HigherEducationRoundtable.

2011@ed.gov. The email should include 

the name of the participant and his or 

her affiliation, and identify which 

policy roundtable discussion she or he 

would like to participate in, and at 

which location. We will attempt to 

accommodate each participant’s 

preference but, if we are unable to do so, 

we will make the determination based 

on the time and date the email was 

received. The Department will notify 

each registrant by email of the specific 

location and roundtable discussion he 

or she was selected to participate in. An 

individual may only participate in one 

roundtable discussion per location. If 

we receive more registrations than we 

are able to accommodate, the 

Department reserves the right to reject 

the registration of an entity or 

individual that is affiliated with an 

entity or individual that is already 

scheduled to participate in the same 

roundtable discussion, and to select 

among registrants to ensure that a broad 

range of entities and individuals are 

allowed to present. We will accept 

walk-in participants on a first-come 

first-served basis beginning at 8:30 a.m. 

on the day of each roundtable 

discussion at the Department’s on-site 

registration table. 

The public hearing/roundtable sites 

are accessible to individuals with 

disabilities. Individuals needing an 

auxiliary aid or service to participate in 

the hearing or a roundtable discussion 

(e.g., interpreting service, assistive 

listening device, or materials in 

alternative format), should notify the 

contact person identified for 

information about hearings listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT in 

this document in advance of the 

scheduled hearing date. Although we 

will attempt to meet any request we 

receive, we may not be able to make 

available the requested auxiliary aid or 

service if we do not have sufficient time 

to arrange it. 

Schedule for Negotiations 

We anticipate that any negotiated 

rulemaking committees established after 

these public hearings will begin 

negotiations in August or September 

2011, with each committee meeting for 

up to three sessions of approximately 

three days at roughly monthly intervals. 

The committees will meet in the 

Washington, DC area. The dates and 

locations of these meetings will be 

announced in a subsequent document in 

the Federal Register, and will be posted 

on the Department’s Web site at: 

http://www2.ed.gov/policy/highered/
