The amendment would require a school’s request to specify which Part 100 requirement(s) they are seeking an exemption from, to include a detailed rationale, and the anticipated impact on students. Such requests could be granted if the school demonstrates that such exemption(s) would support their ability to implement PBLA, consistent with the aims of the PLAN pilot.
