SUMMARY: On September 20, 1996, the Department of Education published
in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for the
Student Assistance General Provisions (34 CFR Part 668) addressing
standards of financial responsibility (60 FR 49552-49574). The proposed
standards would apply to all institutions that participate in a program
authorized by title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended
(title IV, HEA programs).
On December 18, 1996, the Secretary published a notice in the
Federal Register (61 FR 66854) reopening the comment period on
particular parts of the September 20, 1996 NPRM until February 18,
1997. On February 18, 1997, the Secretary extended the reopened comment
period until March 24 to allow commenters to examine and comment upon
new information that would be made available through meetings and other
avenues (62 FR 7334).
The Secretary is extending the comment period for an additional 21
days. The Secretary is doing so to allow the higher education community
to comment on additional information regarding the proposed ratio
methodology, and to suggest possible revisions to that methodology.
