摘要

The Secretary makes technical amendments to the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) to implement amendments to the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) made by the Improving America's Schools Act (IASA). The provisions will diminish the paperwork burden for recipients, permit the Secretary to approve State plans for a period longer than three years, authorize the Secretary to take actions other than termination actions if, after a hearing, the Secretary determines that a State plan is not substantially approvable, improve the procedures and requirements governing hearings for the recovery of funds, implement other statutory requirements and make other technical changes to EDGAR.
