![Page 11: Reg. Busters Presenters: Bill Cheetham, Associate Vice-President For Enrollment - LeMoyne College, Syracuse, NY John View, Financial Aid Compliance Officer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2c5503460f94c46fcd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Reg Busting After Passage
There are several tools that one can use to make further comments before final regulations are written.
NPRM – Notice of proposed Rulemaking – this process begins with the Dept. of Ed. Posting a notice(IFAP)
![Page 12: Reg. Busters Presenters: Bill Cheetham, Associate Vice-President For Enrollment - LeMoyne College, Syracuse, NY John View, Financial Aid Compliance Officer](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2c5503460f94c46fcd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
NPRM Example
On August 8, 2014 – DE- published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NRPM) in the Federal Register that proposes rules that will apply to PLUS Loan program (Credit History). A PDF copy of the NPRM is attached to this announcement and is also available directly on the IFAP website under Federal Registers. Schools normally have 30 days to comment.

NPRM
The NPRM is your way of making direct comments into the federal review process to potentially have the impact and/or modification you are seeking
The department does read these comments and must respond, in writing in the Federal Register
