Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI)

AGENCY:  Department of Education

ACTION:  Extension of closing date notice to solicit public comments.

SUMMARY:  The purpose of this notice of extension of closing date
is to allow the public--particularly school officials, teachers,
and college and university faculty--additional time to prepare and
submit their comments.  Many of these educators only very recently
became aware of the notice and will not be able to meet the
September 6, 1994 deadline.  Also, many other potential commenters
have been away from work during the comment period (summer months)
and have neither received nor been given information on the public
notice.  An extension of the comment period will permit many more
educators and other interested parties to submit comments and
recommendations.

DATES:  The revised deadline for receipt of comments on
implementing the "Educational Research, Development, Dissemination,
and Improvement Act of 1994" is November 9, 1994.

ADDRESSES:  Comments responding to the July 7 FEDERAL REGISTER
notice should be addressed to Dr. Laurence Peters, U.S. Department
of Education, 555 New Jersey Avenue, NW, room 600, Washington, D.C.
20208-5530.  Comments may also be sent to the Department of
Education at the Internet electronic mail address:
reauth_comments@inet.ed.gov.

and the activities it will carry out, as well as establish, in
