II. Rulemaking
Section 222.3 of CFR Title 34, which
establishes the annual January 31
Impact Aid application deadline, is
currently in effect. However, due to
changes in the applications that were
necessitated by legislative amendments
in the 2013 National Defense
Authorization Act (Pub. L. 112–239) and
the related revision, production, and
distribution of the application packages,
the Secretary extends the deadline for
the potential applicants under section
8002 for fiscal year 2014. Because this
amendment makes a procedural change
for this year only as a result of unique
circumstances, proposed rulemaking is
not required under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A).
In addition, the Secretary has waived
rulemaking under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) for
the one-time suspension of the
regulatory deadline date because it
would be impracticable and contrary to
the public interest. It would be
impracticable because Section 8002
applicants need to be able to submit an
FY 2014 application as soon as possible
after January 31, 2013, to receive
funding for their 2013–2014 school year
on a timely basis. The months required
for rulemaking would make it
impossible for districts to receive this
annual funding in a timely manner.
Rulemaking would also be contrary to
the public interest because the
Department’s ability to make FY 2014
payments would be stalled, thus
affecting school districts in their
planning and provision of services.
