U.S. Department of Education Issue Papers and Other Resources
The Department usually provides issue papers that contain background information on the topic under consideration, along with regulatory text and other resources. The Department also provides other resources, and negotiators have their own opportunity to submit resources and suggested regulatory text. We will add these resources to this page as they are published.
