The proposed regulations will revise
Subsection J of the General Provisions Regulations otherwise known
as the ability to benefit (ATB) rules. Among the proposed changes
included are a requirement that test publishers and States describe
its process to determine how a test administrator would have the
necessary training, knowledge, skills, and integrity to test ATB
students. The proposed changes would require a test publisher and a
State to describe how it would determine that a test administrator
has the ability and facilities to keep its ATB tests secure against
disclosure or improper release. The proposed changes would require
a test administrator or State to describe how it would identify
test irregularities, describe proposed corrective actions, and its
decertification process. The proposed regulations would require
that the Agreement between the Department and the test publisher or
State, as applicable, would be updated with the proposed changes in
this Subpart.
The burden estimate from the
previously approved collection activity was 1,165 respondents and
181,110 burden hours. The implementation of the proposed
regulations as a result of the Negotiated Rulemaking process
created additional information collection burden of 59,050
hours.
