Schedule of Committee Meetings--Borrower Defenses, Financial 
Responsibility, and Gainful Employment

AGENCY: Office of Postsecondary Education, Department of Education.

ACTION: Intent to establish negotiated rulemaking committees.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We announce our intention to establish two negotiated 
rulemaking committees to prepare proposed regulations for the Federal 
Student Aid programs authorized under title IV of the Higher Education 
Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The committees will include 
representatives of organizations or groups with interests that are 
significantly affected by the subject matter of the proposed 
regulations. We request nominations for individual negotiators who 
represent key stakeholder constituencies for the issues to be 
negotiated to serve on the committees, and we set a schedule for 
committee meetings. We also announce the creation of a subcommittee, 
and request nominations for individuals with pertinent expertise to 
participate on the subcommittee.

DATES: We must receive your nominations for negotiators to serve on the 
committees on or before September 29, 2017. The dates, times, and 
locations of the committee meetings are set out in the Schedule for 
Negotiations and Subcommittee Meetings section in the SUPPLEMENTARY 
INFORMATION section.
