On September 8, 2008, the Department published in the Federal Register a Notice announcing its intention to establish negotiated rulemaking committees to implement certain parts of the Higher Education Opportunity Act. The Notice also announced six public meetings where interested parties may suggest issues that should be considered for action by the negotiating committees.
