The Department of Education
(Department) proposes to amend the State authorization sections of
the Student Assistance General Provisions regulations issued under
the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), in 34 CFR Part
600. These proposed regulations are a result of negotiated
rule-making and would add new requirements to the current
regulations. This section of the proposed regulations,
600.9(d)(1)(v), specify the requirements for State authorization of
foreign additional locations and branch campuses of domestic
institutions. This request is for a new information collection to
include these new regulatory requirements.
This is a request for a new
information collection due to a program change based on proposed
regulations. These rules were developed under negotiated
rule-making. The Department is requesting an increase in burden of
160 hours for 80 institutional respondents at 2 hours per
response.
