OMB is particulary interested in determing whether public commenters raise concerns with amendments to the rule which change the annual notification of rights and the removal of the requirement to adopt written student records. The preamble to the final rule should address whether the the Department has achieved the appropriate balance between ensuring parents are afforded their rights under the law and providing sufficient flexibility for educational agencies and institutions. In addition, ED shall address any comments on whether the requirement of SEAs to afford access to education records will create significant burden and disruption of operations on the SEAs, and will evaluate any suggestions as to how to minimize such burdens or disruptions.
