1400-AC60 201410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1400 Department of State STATE Exchange Visitor Program--Teachers

The Department is amending existing regulations governing the teacher category of the Exchange Visitor Program. The proposed amendments clarify the duration of program participation, amend eligibility requirements with a reduction from 3 to 2 years of full-time teaching experience, introduce a required cultural component, and propose the implementation of a 2-year bar for repeat participation to foster the purpose of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 ("Fulbright-Hays Act"). These proposed changes will enhance the integrity and programmatic effectiveness of the teacher category.
