## Abstract

The Secretary amends the Student Assistance General Provisions regulations by adding a new Subpart J. These regulations govern the approval and administration of tests that may be used to determine a student's eligibility for assistance under the student financial assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (Title IV, HEA programs), if that student does not have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent. The regulations also provide for a passing score for each approved test. The regulations implement changes made to section 484(d) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended by the Higher Education Amendments of 1992, Public Law 102-325.
