Removal of Regulations

AGENCY: Department of Education.

ACTION: Final regulations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to 
remove unnecessary and obsolete regulations. As a result of new 
legislation, absence of funding, and review in accordance with the 
President's regulatory reinvention initiative, the Secretary has 
determined [[Page 27224]] that these regulations are no longer needed. 
The Secretary takes this action to remove the regulations from the CFR.

EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations are effective June 22, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenneth C. Depew, U.S. Department of 
Education, Room 5112, FB-10, 600 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, 
DC 20202-2241. Telephone: (202) 401-8300. 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: President Clinton's memorandum of March 4, 
1995, titled ``Regulatory Reinvention Initiative'' directed heads of 
departments and agencies to review all existing regulations to 
eliminate those that are outdated and modify others to increase 
flexibility and reduce burden. The Department has undertaken a thorough 
review of its existing regulations and has identified the regulations 
removed by this document as obsolete and unnecessary.
    The regulations being removed are no longer necessary to administer 
the program, have been superseded by new legislation, or were issued to 
implement a program that is no longer funded. To the extent that 
regulations are needed to implement new legislation, they will be 
issued separately from this document. Any determination to issue new 
regulations will be carefully considered to ensure that it is 
consistent with the President's regulatory reform efforts and the 
principles in Executive Order 12866.
    In consultation with customers and partners, the Department is also 
reviewing its other existing regulations thoroughly at this time, and 
those regulations will be amended as appropriate to eliminate or revise 
outdated provisions, reduce burden, or increase flexibility. Amendments 
that can be accomplished without statutory changes are expected to be 
published for public comment as soon as the reviews are completed and 
regulatory changes are drafted. For example, the notice of proposed 
rulemaking published on May 1, 1995 (60 FR 21400), implementing 
amendments to the Title I--Helping Disadvantaged Children Meet High 
Standards program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 
1965, as amended by the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994, 
includes the removal of four additional parts. In addition, the 
Secretary will seek appropriate statutory changes if legislative 
authority is required in order to achieve regulatory reform.

Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

    In accordance with section 437 of the General Education Provisions 
Act (20 U.S.C. 1232) and the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553), it is the practice of the Secretary to offer interested parties 
the opportunity to comment on proposed regulations. However, these 
regulations merely reflect statutory changes and remove unnecessary and 
obsolete regulatory provisions. Removal of the regulations does not 
establish or affect substantive policy. Therefore, the Secretary has 
determined, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), that public comment is 
unnecessary and contrary to the public interest.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980

    These regulations have been examined under the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1980 and have been found to contain no information collection 
requirements.
Assessment of Educational Impact

    Based on its own review, the Department has determined that the 
regulations in this document do not require transmission of information 
that is being gathered by or is available from any other agency or 
authority of the United States.
