Sec. 668.44  Availability of employees for information dissemination purposes.

    (a) Availability. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this 
section each institution shall designate an employee or group of 
employees who shall be available on a full-time basis to assist enrolled 
or prospective students in obtaining the information specified in 
Secs. 668.43 and 668.44.
    (2) If the institution designates one person, that person shall be 
available, upon reasonable notice, to any enrolled or prospective 
student throughout the normal administrative working hours of that 
institution.

    (3) If more than one person is designated, their combined work 
schedules must be arranged so that at least one of them is available, 
upon reasonable notice, throughout the normal administrative working 
hours of that institution.
    (b) Waiver. (1) the Secretary may waive the requirement that the 
employee or group of employees designated under paragraph (a) of this 
section be available on a full-time basis if the institution's total 
enrollment, or the portion of the enrollment participating in the title 
IV, HEA programs, is too small to necessitate an employee or group of 
employees being available on a full-time basis.
    (2) In determining whether an institution's total enrollment or the 
number of title IV, HEA program recipients is too small, the Secretary 
considers whether there will be an insufficient demand for information 
dissemination services among its enrolled or prospective students to 
necessitate the full-time availability of an employee or group of 
employees.
    (3) To receive a waiver, the institution shall apply to the 
Secretary at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Secretary.
    (c) The granting of a waiver under paragraph (b) of this section 
does not exempt an institution from designating a specific employee or 
group of employees to carry out on a part-time basis the information 
dissemination requirements.
