What is a significant rule?

Significant regulatory action is a term used to describe an agency rule that has had or might have a large impact on the economy, environment, public health, or state or local governments. These actions may also conflict with other rules or presidential priorities. As part of its role in the regulatory review process, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) determines which rules meet this definition.

    The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) was amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in 2015, which replaced the provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA). The ESSA, in part, reduced the authority of the U.S. Department of Education over state education systems by giving both states and school districts more power to determine their own testing standards, academic assessments, and intervention methods. The ESSA made changes to Title I of the ESEA, "including the ability of the Secretary to provide demonstration authority to a State educational agency (SEA) to pilot an innovative assessment and use it for accountability and reporting purposes... before scaling such an assessment statewide."[1]

    In response to the statutory changes implemented by the ESSA, the Department of Education proposed amendments to innovative assessment demonstration authority on July 11, 2016, "to provide clarity to SEAs regarding the requirements for applying for and implementing innovative assessment demonstration authority. These regulations will also help to ensure that SEAs provided this authority can develop and administer high-quality, valid, and reliable assessments that measure student mastery of challenging State academic standards, improve the design and delivery of large-scale assessments, and better inform classroom instruction, ultimately leading to improved academic outcomes for all students," according to the proposed rule.[2]

    Summary of the rule

    The following is a summary of the rule from the rule's entry in the Federal Register:

    “ The Secretary issues final regulations under title I, part B of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to implement changes made to the ESEA by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) enacted on December 10, 2015, including the ability of the Secretary to provide demonstration authority to a State educational agency (SEA) to pilot an innovative assessment and use it for accountability and reporting purposes under title I, part A of the ESEA before scaling such an assessment statewide.[1][3] ”

    Summary of provisions

    The following is a summary of the provisions from the rule's entry in the Federal Register:[2]

    “ The proposed regulations would support implementation of provisions in section 1204 of title I, part B of the ESEA, as amended by the ESSA, that permit the Secretary to provide innovative assessment demonstration authority to an SEA or consortium of SEAs, including by:
    • Establishing requirements for applications for the demonstration authority and selection criteria for evaluating those applications through a peer-review process;
    • Establishing requirements for the transition, at the conclusion of an SEA's or consortium's demonstration authority period, to statewide use of the innovative assessment for the purposes of academic assessments and the statewide accountability system under section 1111; and
    • Establishing parameters for withdrawing an SEA's or consortium's demonstration authority if the SEA or consortium does not meet certain requirements.[3]
