View Rule

34 CFR 400

The Department will rescind its regulations at 34 CFR 400.1 -- 400.10 related to the Vocational and Applied Technology Education Programs because the requirements relative to the general provisions of career and technical education assistance to States have been superseded by the requirements of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV). With these actions we will deregulate and reserve 34 CFR 400.

34 CFR 401

The Department will rescind its regulations at 34 CFR 401.1 -- 401.5 (subpart A); 34 CFR 401.10 (subpart B); 34 CFR 401.20 -- 401.22 (subpart C); and 34 CFR 401.30 -- 401.31 (subpart D) related to the Indian Vocational Education Program. These actions are necessary because Perkins IV has updated requirements relative to the Indian Vocational Education Program, now authorized as the Native American Career and Technical Education Program (NACTEP). However, the Department will retain 34 CFR 401.23 relative to an applicant’s request for a hearing in response to the Secretary's decision not to make an award under NACTEP, and will therefore also retain Subpart C of 34 CFR 401 as 34 CFR 401.23. We are retaining 34 CFR 401.23 because the Secretary continues to implement the appeal process at the request of any applicant denied funding under NACTEP in accordance with the procedures set forth in 34 CFR 401.23. The Department will reserve Subparts A, B, and D of 34 CFR 401 and will retain Subpart C of 34 CFR 401 as indicated above.

Perkins IV has updated requirements and is now authorized as the Native Hawaiian Career and Technical Education Program (NHCTEP). Those Perkins IV NHCTEP requirements supersede the Native Hawaiian Vocational Education Program requirements in 34 CFR 402. Subpart B of 34 CFR 402 is currently reserved. The Department also will reserve subparts A, C and D of 34 CFR 402. With these action we will deregulate and reserve 34 CFR 402.

It is necessary to take these actions because these regulations are outdated and have been superseded by the requirements in Perkins IV. The Department will reserve subparts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I of 34 CFR 403. With these actions we will deregulate and reserve 34 CFR 403.

These actions are necessary because Perkins IV has updated requirements relative to the program and the program is no longer funded under Perkins IV.
