SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 12, 2013, we published a notice in the Federal Register (78 FR 35179) announcing our intention to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee to prepare proposed regulations for the Federal Student Aid programs authorized under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) (title IV Federal Student Aid programs) that would establish standards for programs that prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation. In that notice, we set a schedule for two sessions of committee meetings and requested nominations for individual negotiators who represent key stakeholder constituencies for the issues to be negotiated to serve on the committee.
Because of the shutdown of the Federal Government due to the lapse in appropriations for fiscal year 2014, on November 7, 2013, we announced in the Federal Register (78 FR 66865) that we were rescheduling the second session of committee meetings from October 21-
23, 2013, to November 18-20, 2013, with the meeting on the final day running from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
