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Initiative'' directed heads of departments and agencies to review all existing regulations to eliminate those that are outdated and modify others to increase flexibility and reduce burden.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 The regulations being removed are no longer necessary to administer the program, have been superseded by new legislation, or were issued to implement a program that is no longer funded.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regulations thoroughly at this time, and those regulations will be amended as appropriate to eliminate or revise outdated provisions, reduce burden, or increase flexibility.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.
