Hearing officials are career employees at the Department.

They hear appeals from institutions on disputed facts and the proper application ofthe regulations and law.

Theyhave a lot of discretion to resolve those issues, limited by a regulation that says they cannot override or nullify a
regulatory requirement. Decisions from the hearing official are subject to appeal by either party to the Secretary. If a
decision from a hearing official is not appealed, it becomes the final decision ofthe agency.

See 34 eFR part 668, Subpart G and Subpart H. Decisions from the hearing officials and from the Secretary can be
viewed at http://www.ed-oha.org/

I got a call from Pauline Abernathy asking about hearing officials. Who are ~hey, how are they selected, how much
discretion do they have to adjudicate proceedings, etc. Anything you can provide would be helpful. Thanks. jk

Subject: "analysis, additional data" link in gainful employment press release

David, do you know the answer to this question:

What page (web address) should the "Analysis, additional data" link on the gainful
employment press release go to?

(The press release is at http://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/proposed-rule-Iinks-federal-

student-aid-Ioan-repayment-~ates-and~debt-earnings.)

It is *possible* that if someone were to send me the URL of the page it should link to,
someone on my team might be able to make the change from home this evening, or tomorrow
morning.

Thanks) Pauline. The 3 links in the (in the Related Resources box on the press release on
the web) go to 3 different pages.

I'm pretty sure the 1st and 3rd links go to the correct pages~ I am not sure that the 2nd
link-- "Analysis 1 additional data" --goes to the correct page. It goes to a page called
"Negotiated Rulemaking for Higher Education 2009-10 - Team I-Program Integrity Issues."

I'd be happy to try to get that link changed if someone could tell me where it should go~
but ...

- I myself am unable to find the page it should go to.

- I lose my late web person in 19 minutes.

Hey, .Pauline! Good to .hear from you.

Justin and Jane~ I'm not sure I understand the problem.
The color chart is on the press release (http://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/proposed-rule-
links-federal-student-aid-loan-repayment-rates-and-debt-earnings).
The links in the Related Resources box on the press release (at the top right) seem to be
correct.

I'm probably missing something (been a long day).

Can anyone explain more clearly what the problem is?

Hi John and Fred,

Pauline and I at TICAS tried to reach you this morning in hopes of getting some clarity about the GE NPRM published
earlier this week. Would you have time to talk later today or Monday to help clarify a few points for us?

Many thanks,
