The proposed regulations establish the standards to participate in the student financial aid assistance programs authorized by Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965,(HEA),as amended. The proposed regulations assure the Secretary that the integrity of the programs are protected from fraud and misuse of program funds. These proposed regulations modify the standards of administrative capability and propose new requirements for institutional disclosures to enrolled students and prospective students on written arrangements entered into with other institutions who will not be granting the degree or certificate. These proposed regulations also expand disclosures to students and prospective students so those students have contact information in order to make complaints to the institution's accreditor, approval and licensing agencies. The proposed regulations consolidate the satisfactory academic progress standards in 34 CFR 668.34, therefore we are administratively transferring the attributable amount of burden that was in 34 CFR 668.16(e) to 34 CFR 668.34. The proposed regulations in 34 CFR 668.13 require that the period of participation for a private, for-profit foreign institution expires after three years rather than the six year period for a domestic institution. The proposed regulations in 34 CFR 668.171 require that in order for an institution to be considered financially responsible, the institution must notify the Secretary that it is designated as a public institution by the country or other governmental entity that has the legal authority to make that designation. That entity must confirm that the institution is a public institution and is backed by the full faith and credit of the governmental entity, as documented. This proposed regulation also includes a requirement that the foreign public institution must not be in violation of the past performance requirements in 34 CFR 668.174.

Changing Regulations
The increase of 21,982 burden hours is due to a statutory change in the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) (Pub. L. 110-315) that requires institutions to develop and follow procedures to evaluate the validity of a student's high school completion as final in the implementing regulations at 34 CFR 668.16(p). The downward administrative adjustment of 21,000 burden hours is reflective of the transfer of the satisfactory academic progress regulations being moved from 34 CFR 668.16 to 34 CFR 668.34, thus the burden associated with OMB 1845-0022 (and 34 CFR 668.16) is transferred to OMB 1845-NEW2 - Satisfactory Academic Progress (04267). The remaining 830,308 increase in burden hours reflect business process improvement to prevent and counteract fraud, abuse, and waste by providing for accurate clock hour to credit hour conversions, clarifying when a student is considered to have withdrawn in order to calculate the proper amounts of earned and unearned Title IV, HEA funds, require expanded disclosure to students enrolled in programs of study where a portion of the student's program is provided by another institution that will not be providing the student with the degree or certificate, and through the reduction of the Secretary's approval for foreign institution's participation in Title IV, HEA programs from 6 years to 3 years for private, for-profit foreign institutions.
