[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 67 (Thursday, April 7, 2016)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 20250-20251] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-08053] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 34 CFR Part 668 RIN 1840-AD14 [Docket ID ED-2015-OPE-0020] Program Integrity and Improvement; Corrections AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary Education, Department of Education. ACTION: Final rule; corrections. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Department of Education published final regulations for Program Integrity and Improvement in the Federal Register on October 30, 2015 (80 FR 67125). This document corrects errors in the final regulations. DATES: Effective July 1, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ashley Higgins, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW., Room 6W234, Washington, DC 20202. Telephone: (202) 453-6097. If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf or a text telephone, call the Federal Relay Service, toll free, at 1-800-877- 8339. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of October 30, 2015 (80 FR 67125): (a) In Sec. 668.164(e)(2), we inadvertently limited the permissible use of any personally identifiable information about a student to activities that support making payments of title IV funds, when institutions must make other types of payments to students. Accordingly, on page 67197, in the middle column, we correct Sec. 668.164(e)(2)(ii)(B) of the regulations by replacing the phrase ``of title IV, HEA program funds'' with the phrase ``to the student''. (b) Under the final regulations, institutions with Tier one arrangements must make public both the full contract and selected contract data. In the regulatory text, we inadvertently omitted reference to the contract data in Sec. 668.164(e)(2)(viii). Accordingly, on page 67197, in the right-hand column, we correct Sec. 668.164(e)(2)(viii) of the regulations by adding the words ``and contract data as described in paragraph (e)(2)(vii) of this section'' after the word ``contract''. (c) In Sec. 668.164(e)(3) of the regulations, we inadvertently limited the information an institution may share to enrollment information relating to title IV recipients, when institutions are permitted to share under the final regulations such information for all students. Accordingly, on page 67198, in the left-hand column, we correct Sec. 668.164(e)(3) by replacing ``title IV recipients' '' with ``students' ''. (d) In Sec. 668.164(f)(4)(i)(A) of the regulations we incorrectly omitted a word. Accordingly, on page 67198, in the middle column, we correct Sec. 668.164(f)(4)(i)(A) by adding ``information'' after ``identifiable''. (e) In Sec. 668.164(f)(4)(vi) of the regulations, we inadvertently included a redundant phrase. Accordingly, on page 67198, in the right- hand column, we correct Sec. 668.164(f)(4)(vi) by replacing the phrase ``If the institution is located in a State, ensure'' with the word ``Ensure''. (f) In Sec. 668.164(f)(4)(xii) of the regulations, we inadvertently implied that Sec. 668.164(d)(4)(i) was a voluntary requirement for institutions with a Tier two arrangement that falls below the threshold number of students. Accordingly, on page 67199, in the left-hand column, we correct Sec. 668.164(f)(4)(xii) by adding the word ``applicable'' before the word ``provisions'' and removing the reference to ``(d)(4)(i), (f)(4), and (f)(5)'' and adding in its place ``(f)(4) and (5)''. (g) In Sec. 668.164(f)(5) of the regulations, we inadvertently limited the information an institution may share to enrollment information relating to title IV recipients, when institutions are [[Page 20251]] permitted to share under the final regulations such information for all students. Accordingly, on page 67199, in the left-hand column, we correct Sec. 668.164(f)(5) by replacing the phrase ``title IV recipients' '' with the word ``students' ''. (h) In Sec. 668.165(a)(2), we inadvertently omitted the new definition set out in Sec. 668.161. Accordingly, on page 67200, in the middle column, we correct Sec. 668.165(a)(2) by removing the phrase ``student's account at the institution'' and replacing it with the phrase ``student ledger account''. (i) In Sec. 668.166(a)(2), we inadvertently omitted the new definition set out in Sec. 668.161. Accordingly, on page 67201, in the right-hand column, we correct Sec. 668.166(a)(2) by removing the phrase ``Federal account'' and replacing it with the phrase ``depository account''. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking In accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553, it is the Secretary's practice to offer interested parties the opportunity to comment on proposed regulations. However, the regulatory changes in this document are necessary to correct errors and do not establish any new substantive rules. Therefore, the Secretary has determined that publication of a proposed rule is unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). Accessible Format: Individuals with disabilities can obtain this document in an accessible format (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape, or compact disc) on request to the contact person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
