DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Notice of the Rescission of Outdated Guidance Documents
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Secretary announces the guidance documents the Department
of Education (Department) is rescinding because they are outdated,
after conducting a review of its guidance under Executive Order (E.O.)
13891.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lynn Mahaffie, Department of
Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 6E-231, Washington, DC 20202.
Telephone: (202) 453-7862. Email: [email protected].
If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) or a text
telephone (TTY), call the Federal Relay Service (FRS), toll-free, at 1-
800-877-8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 9, 2019, the President issued
E.O. 13891 titled ``Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency
Guidance Documents.'' 84 FR 55235. Section 3(b) of the E.O. requires
the Department to ``review its guidance documents and, consistent with
applicable law, rescind those guidance documents that it determines
should no longer be in effect.'' This notice notifies the public,
including the Department's stakeholders, of the guidance documents the
Department rescinds as outdated (e.g., superseded by subsequent
statutory amendments or enactments), in accordance with section 3(b) of
E.O. 13891. The guidance documents identified as being rescinded in
this notice do not include any guidance documents the Department has,
is considering, or is planning to rescind through exercising the
Department's policy-making discretion (i.e., rescissions based on a
change in Department policy or statutory interpretation).
Additionally, section 3(a) of E.O. 13891 requires the Department to
develop a guidance portal that contains or links to all of its guidance
documents in effect. On February 26, 2020, the Department published a
notice in the Federal Register announcing that its guidance portal was
operational, in compliance with section 3(a) of the E.O. 85 FR 11056.
Section 4 of E.O. 13891 requires the Department to finalize
regulations to set forth processes and procedures for issuing guidance
documents. The Department's Spring 2020 Unified Agenda provides that
the timetable for these interim final regulations is August 2020. See
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202004&RIN=1801-AA22.
The below table lists the guidance documents the Department
rescinds, the office within the Department that issued the guidance,
the date the guidance was issued, and a link to the guidance (which the
Department will continue to make publicly available for historical
purposes).
Documents rescinded by the Office of Postsecondary Education are
listed in the Appendix to this notice. Those may be located at https://ifap.ed.gov/, by entering the title of the document into the Search
function.
