This action merges the following three prior RINs:  RIN 1840-AD54 Pell Grants for Prison Education Programs; 1840-AD55 Determining the Amount of Federal Education Assistance Funds Received by Institutions of Higher Education (90/10); 1840-AD66 Change in Ownership and Change in Control.

For Pell Grants for Prison Education Programs, the Consolidated Appropriation Act, 2021 defines prison education programs for purposes of Pell Grant eligibility. The Secretary published final regulations regarding correctional facilities and eligible institutions of higher education seeking to establish eligibility for the Pell Grant program.

For 90/10, to reflect changes to the HEA made by the American Rescue Plan Act, the Secretary published regulations that amend the Student Assistance General Provisions (34 CFR 668.28 Non-Title IV revenue) governing whether proprietary institutions meet the requirement in 34 CFR 668.14(b)(16) that institutions receive at least 10 percent of their revenue from sources other than Federal education assistance funds.

For Changes in Ownership, the Secretary published regulations that amend provisions regulations in 34 CFR 600.31 on institution and program eligibility under the HEA, including 34 CFR 600.31, that are associated with changes in institutional ownership resulting in a change in control.
