These regulations detail a comprehensive redesign of the certification system that will go into effect as the Department of Education creates supports necessary to implement the revisions. In the development of the proposed regulations, consideration was given to: (1) alternative approaches; (2) overlap and duplication with other statutory and regulatory provisions; and (3) significant economic impact on small business. No alternative approach, duplication, or overlap was identified based upoin available information.
