The Secretary amends the Student
Assistance General Provisions by adding new Subpart Q to Part 668.
This subpart applies to postsecondary educational programs that
lead to gainful employment in recognized occupations. This new
section, 668.406, allows for an institution to submit alternate
earnings appeals to challenge the Secretary's determination of a
gainful employment program that is failing or in the zone under the
debt to earnings rates.
US Code:
20 USC 11088, 1094 Name of Law: the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (HEA)
This is a new collection due to
the changes to burden under Section 668.406 that are a result of
the addition of Subpart Q of Part 668. The program changes are
based on agency discretion upon completion of Negotiated Rulemaking
sessions. The burden changes from the NPRM to the Final Regulations
are due to updated estimates of GE programs and comments from
affected parties.
