SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 4, 2016, we published a notice in the Federal Register (81 FR 5969) announcing our intention to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee prior to publishing proposed regulations to implement part A of title I of the ESEA, as amended by the ESSA. We explained that the negotiated rulemaking committee would be convened to address proposed regulations that would: (1) Update existing assessment regulations to reflect changes to section 1111(b)(2) of the ESEA; and (2) relate to the requirement under section 1118(b) of the ESEA that title I, part A funds be used to supplement, and not supplant, non-
Federal funds. In the February 4, 2016, notice, we set a schedule for three sessions of committee meetings, including an optional third session from April 18-April 19, 2016, if the committee determined that a third session would enable the committee to complete its work of developing regulations that reflect a final consensus of the committee. We also announced the date, time, and locations of the three sessions.
We now announce that the April 18, 2016, meeting of the committee will be held at a different location than indicated in the February 4, 2016, notice.
Schedule for Negotiations: The committee will meet for its third session on April 18-April 19, 2016. The committee meetings will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
The April 18, 2016, committee meeting will be held at the U.S. Department of Education, Potomac Center Plaza, 550 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 22202. The April 19, 2016, committee meeting will be held at the U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20202.
The meetings are open to the public.
