DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
34 CFR Parts 3 and 19
Official Seal; National Security Information Procedures
AGENCY: Department of Education.
ACTION: Final regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary amends the regulations governing the use of the
Official Seal of the Department of Education (ED) and removes the
regulations governing National Security Information Procedures. These
final regulations amend obsolete references in the provisions governing
use of the Official Seal and remove unnecessary requirements relating
to National Security Information Procedures. The Secretary takes this
action to update existing regulations and to eliminate unnecessary
regulations.
DATES: These regulations are effective September 22, 2000.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenneth C. Depew, Division of
Regulatory Services, Office of the General Counsel, Department of
Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., Room 6E109, FB-6, Washington, DC
20202-2241. Telephone: (202) 401-8300. If you use a telecommunications
device for the deaf (TDD), you may call the Federal Information Relay
Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339.
Individuals with disabilities may obtain this document in an
alternative format (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape, or computer
diskette) on request to the contact person listed in the preceding
paragraph.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These regulations amend the regulations in
34 CFR part 3 (Official Seal) to reflect the current organizational
structure of the Department.
The regulations in 34 CFR part 19 (National Security Information
Procedures) are removed because the Department's security
classification regulation does not affect members of the public.
Therefore, as confirmed by the Information Security Oversight Office,
National Archives and Records Administration, publication of these
regulations is unnecessary.
Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking
Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) we generally
offer interested parties the opportunity to comment on proposed
regulations. However, these amendments incorporate changes in internal
agency organization and management and do not establish new substantive
policy. Therefore, under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A), proposed rulemaking does
not apply to the extent these regulations concern agency organization
and procedure, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Secretary has
determined that proposed rulemaking is unnecessary.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
The Secretary certifies that these regulations would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
The regulations reflect internal departmental changes and would not
affect any small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
These regulations do not contain any information collection
requirements.
