13538 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 55 / Friday, March 21, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The interim final rules that are the

subject of these corrections implement

the childhood disability provisions of

sections 211 and 212 of Public Law

104–193, the Personal Responsibility

and Work Opportunity Reconciliation

Act of 1996 that provide a new

definition of disability for children (i.e.,

individuals under age 18), mandate

changes to the evaluation process for

children’s disability claims and

continuing disability reviews, and

require that disability redeterminations

be performed for 18-year-olds eligible as

children in the month before the month

they attain age 18.

Need for Correction

We are making several editorial and

other changes, including those needed

to correct amendatory language to

correspond with our intended changes

and those needed to clarify our original

intent. Other corrections, mostly

typographical ones, are being made

elsewhere in today’s issue of the

Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

As published, the final rule contains

errors which may prove to be

misleading and are in need of

clarification. In particular, the statement

of availability that is being removed

from § 582.340(a)(1) essentially repeats

the statement of availability that is in

the footnote to § 582.340(a).

Correction of Publication

Accordingly, FR Doc. 96–24875, a

final rule published on September 30,

1996 (61 FR 51168) that amended 24

CFR part 582, is corrected as follows:

§ 582.5 [Corrected]

1. On page 51169, in the third

column, in § 582.5, paragraph (3) of the

defined term ‘‘Person with disabilities’’

is corrected by adding the character ‘‘)’’

in § 582.310, paragraph (a), the citation

‘‘(42 U.S.C. 1437a(3)(1))’’ is corrected to

§ 582.340 [Corrected]

3. On page 51171, in the third

column, in § 582.340, paragraph (a)(1) is

corrected by removing the last sentence,

which reads ‘‘(OMB Circulars are

available from the Executive Office of

the President, Publication Service, 725

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

34 CFR Part 682

RINS 1840–AC35, 1840–AC33

Federal Family Education Loan

Program

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Final Regulations.

SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the

regulations governing the Federal

Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program

to add the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) control number to certain

sections of the regulations. These

sections contain information collection

requirements approved by OMB. Under

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

no persons are required to respond to a

collection of information unless it

displays a valid OMB control number.

The Secretary takes this action to inform

the public that these requirements have

been approved and affected parties must

comply with them.

EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations are

effective on July 1, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ron

Streets or George Harris, FFEL Program

Policy Section, Policy Development

Division, Policy, Training, and Analysis

Service, U.S. Department of Education,

3053, ROB–3), Washington, D.C. 20202.

Telephone (202) 708–8242. Individuals

who use a telecommunications device

for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal

Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–

800–877–8339 between 8 a.m. and 8

p.m., Eastern time, Monday through

Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Final

regulations for the FFEL Program

entitled Due Diligence Requirements (61

FR 60478) and Guaranty AgenciesConflicts of Interest (61 FR 60426) were

published in the Federal Register on

November 27, 1996. Compliance with

information collection requirements in

certain sections of these regulations was

delayed until those requirements were

approved by OMB under the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995. OMB approved

the information collection requirements

in the regulations on January 17, 1997.

The information collection requirements

in these regulations will, therefore,

become effective with all of the other

provisions of the regulations on July 1,

1997.

Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

It is the practice of the Secretary to

offer interested parties the opportunity

to comment on proposed regulations.

However, the publication of OMB

control numbers is purely technical and

does not establish substantive policy.

Therefore, the Secretary has determined

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), that public

comment on the regulations is

unnecessary and contrary to the public

interest.

36 CFR Part 200

Organization, Functions, and

Procedures; Information Availability

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule; technical

amendment.

SUMMARY: This technical amendment

streamlines the rules for obtaining

information from the Forest Service by

combining related sections into a single

rule and by making editorial changes to

clarify the procedures by which the

public may obtain agency information.

apparent when the agency reviewed its

regulations as part of the President’s

Regulatory Reinvention Initiative. The

intended effect is to make the rule easier

to use and understand.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective

March 21, 1997.
