GAO-12-960R 1 (2012-07-27)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadoxw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO Accountability * Integrity * Reliability United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 B-323730 July 27, 2012 The Honorable Tom Harkin Chairman The Honorable Michael B. Enzi Ranking Member Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions United States Senate The Honorable John Kline Chairman The Honorable George Miller Ranking Member Committee on Education and the Workforce House of Representatives Subject: Department of Education: Federal Pell Grant Program Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Education (Education), entitled Federal Pell Grant Program (RIN: 1840-AD11). We received the rule on July 13, 2012. It was published in the Federal Register as an interim final rule; request for comments on May 2, 2012. 77 Fed. Reg. 25,893. The interim final rule amends sections of the Federal Pell Grant Program regulations to make them consistent with recent changes in the law that prohibit a student from receiving two consecutive Pell Grants in a single award year. The interim final rule is effective on May 2, 2012. The Congressional Review Act (CRA) requires a 60-day delay in the effective date of a major rule from the date of publication in the Federal Register or receipt of the rule by Congress, whichever is later. 5 U.S.C. § 801 (a)(3)(A). However, notwithstanding the 60-day delay requirement, any rule that an agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedures are impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest is to take effect when the promulgating agency so determines. §§ 553(d)(3), 808(2). Accordingly, Education believes it has good cause to make the interim final rule effective on publication because it merely reflects statutory changes and removes GAO-12-960R
