**SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT SUBMISSION**  **A. Justification** 1. Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary . Identify any legal or administrative requirements that necessitate the collection. Attach a hard cop y of the appropriate section of each statute and regulation mandating or authorizing the collection of information , or you may provide a valid URL link or paste the applicable section 1

. Specify the review t ype of the collection (new, revision, extension, reinstatement with change, reinstatement without change) . If revised, brie fl y specify the changes. If a rulemaking is involved, make note of the sections or changed sections, if applicable. The Department of Education (the Department) proposes to amend the Student Assistance General Provisions regulations issued under the High er Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), to implement the changes made b y the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA) (Pub. L

. 113

- 4), which, among other provisions, amended section 485(f) of the HEA, otherwise known as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act)

. These proposed regulations are a result of negotiated rulemaki ng and would update and clarify the current regulations. This is a revision to the current collection due to changed regulatory action that requires additional collection and reporting b y the institutions. B urden that is impacted is in proposed §668.46 (b), §668.46(c) §668.46(j), and §668.46(k). The Department is requesting continued approval of the current collection along with consideration of the following revisions. 2. Indicate how, by

whom, and for what purpose the information is to be used. E xcept for a new collection, indicate the actual use the agency has made of the information received from the current collection. T he Clery Act requires institutions of higher education to comply with certain campus safet y - and securit y - related requirements as a condition of their participation in the title IV , HEA programs. Notably , VAWA amended the Clery Act to require institutions to compile statistics for incidents of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking and to include cert ain policies, procedures, and programs pertaining to these incidents in their annual securit y reports. The Department propose s to amend 34 CFR §668.46 in order to implement these statutory changes. And we propose to update this section by incorporating provisions

- XXXX (if applicable) added to the Clery

Act by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 , deleting outdated deadlines and cross

- references, and making other changes to improve the readabilit y and clarity of the regulations. The information that is collected and reported to the Department using the Annual Security Report is posted to the Department’s web page at The Campus Safety and Security Data Analy sis Cutting Tool which allows interested parties access to data regarding one or more institutions or data that has been aggregated. Additionally , the data is required to be made available on institutional web page s for disclosures to prospective and current students and prospective and current employ ees regarding the information. This allows interested parties to be aware of issues related to campus securit y at a given institution. 3. Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information involves the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or forms of information technology , e.g. permitting electronic submission of responses, and the basis for the decision of adopting this means of collection. Also describe an y consideration given to using technology

to reduce burden. On an annual basis i nstitutions electronicall y report their campus crime statistics via the Department’s Campus Safety and Security

Survey website. Institutions use a combination of their own sy stems and web sites to disclose information to current and prospective students and current and new employ ees . The use of this method of transmission allows for accuracy in the reporting of the information to the Department by institutions, minimizing t ranscription error b y multiple parties. 4. Describe efforts to identify duplication. Show specificall y wh y an y similar information alread y available cannot be used or modified for use for the purposes described in Item 2 above. The current requirements avoid duplication. There is no other s ys tem available that can be used or modified for this purpose

. 5. If the collection of information impacts small businesses or other small entities, describe any methods used to minimize burden. A small entit y may b e (1) a small business which is deemed to be one that is independently owned and operated and that is not dominant in its field of operation; (2) a small organization that is any not
- for

- profit enterprise that is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field; or (3) a small government jurisdiction, which is a government of a city , count y, town, township, school district, or special district with a population of less than 50,000. No small businesses are affected b y this information colle cted. 6. Describe the consequences to Federal program or policy activities if the collection is not conducted or is conducted less frequentl y, as well as an y technical or legal obstacles to reducing burden.3

- XXXX (if applicable) Absent this proposed data, current and prospective students, and current and prospective employ ees would not have sufficient information about the institution’s crime statistics to make informed decisions about whether to begin or continue their education or employ ment at a given institution

. 7. Explain any

special circumstances that would cause an information collection to be conducted in a manner:

 requiring respondents to report information to the agency more often than quarterl y;  requiring respondents to prepare a written response to a collection of information in fewer than 30 day s after receipt of it;
 requiring respondents to submit more than an original and two copies of any document;
 requiring respondents to retain records, other than health, medical, government contract, grant
- in

- ai d, or tax records for more than three y ears;  in connection with a statistical survey , that is not designed to produce valid and reliable results than can be generalized to the universe of study ;  requiring the use of a statistical data classification that h as not been reviewed and approved b y OMB;
 that includes a pledge of confidentiality that is not supported by

authority established in statute or regulation, that is not supported by disclosure and data security policies that are consistent with the pledge, or that unnecessaril y i mpedes sharing of data with other agencies for compatible confidential use; or
 requiring respondents to submit proprietary trade secrets, or other confidential information unless the agency can demonstrate that it has instituted pro cedures to protect the information ’ s confidentiality to the extent permitted by law. The collection of this information will continue to be conducted in a manner that is consistent with the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320. 5(d)(2)

. 8. As applicable, state that th e Department has published the 60 and 30 Federal Register notices as required b y 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on the information collection prior to submission to OMB. Summarize public comments received in response to that notice and describe acti ons taken b y the agency in response to these comments. Specifically address comments received on cost and hour burden. Describe efforts to consult with persons outside the agency to obtain their views on the availability

of data, frequency

of collection, the clarity

of instruction and record keeping, disclosure, or reporting format (if an y), and on the data elements to be recorded, disclosed, or reported. Consultation with representatives of those from whom information is to be obtained or those who must compile records should occur at least once every 3 y ears
– even if the collection of information activity

is the same as in prior periods. There may be ci rcumstances that may preclude consultation in a specific situation. These circumstances should be explained.4

- XXXX (if applicable) The proposed regulations were developed through the Negotiated Rulemaking process where the public provided its input and in consultation with in stitutions, victims, advocacy groups, campus police and security personnel, and other affected entities. The comment period for the information collection package will run concurrently with the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. 9. Explain any

decision to provide an y pa ym ent or gift to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees with meaningful justification

. No pay ments or gifts will be provided to the respondents. 10

. Describe an y assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents and the basis for the assurance in statute, regulation, or agency policy . If personally

identifiable information (PII) is being collected, a Privacy Act statement should be included on the instrument. Please provide a citation for the Sy stems of Record Not ice and the date a Privacy Impact Assessment was completed as indicated on the I C Data Form . A confidentiality statement with a legal citation that authorizes the pledge of confidentiality should be provided. 2 If the collection is subject to the Privacy Ac t, the Privacy

Act statement is deemed sufficient with respect to confidentiality . I f there is no expectation of confidentiality , simply state that the Department make s no pledge about the confidentiall y of the data. Privacy protected information would no t be included in the report b y the institution to the Department. Institutions would report via the Department’s crime statistics reporting web

- based tool. 11. Provide additional justification for an y questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behav ior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private. The justification should include the reasons wh y the agency considers the questions necessary , the specific uses to be made of the information, the explanation t o be given to persons from whom the information is requested, and an y steps to be taken to obtain their consent. The Department is not requesting an y s ensitive data. 12. Provide estimates of the hour burden of the collection of information. The statement should:

 Indicate the number of respondents by affected public ty

pe (federal government, individuals or households, private sector

– businesses or other for

- profit, private sector

– not
- for

- profit institutions, farms, state, local or tribal gover nments) , frequency of response, annual hour burden, and an explanation of how the burden was

estimated, including identification of burden t ype: recordkeeping, reporting or third party disclosure. All narrative should be included in item 12. Unless direct ed to do so, agencies should not conduct special survey s to obtain information on which to base hour burden estimates. Consultation with a sample (fewer than 10) of potential respondents is desirable. If the hour burden on respondents is expected to vary widel y because of differences in activity , size, or complexity , show the range of estimated hour burden, and explain the reasons for the variance. Generall y, estimates should not include burden hours for customary and usual business practices.
 If this re quest for approval covers more than one form, provide separate hour burden estimates for each form and aggregate the hour burdens in the ROCI S IC Burden Analy sis Table

. (The table should at minimum include Respondent types, IC activity , Respondent and Res ponses, Hours/Response, and Total Hours)
 Provide estimates of annualized cost to respondents of the hour burdens for collections of information, identifying and using appropriate wage rate categories. The cost of contracting out or paying outside parties for information collection activities should not be included here. Instead, this cost should be included in Item 14. As stat ed in Item 1, the Department is identif yi ng regulatory

sections that are impacted under proposed §668.46 (b), §668.46(c) §668.46(j), and §668.46(k) . Sections 668.46(b) and (c) are existing sections with associated burden currently identified in OMB information collection 1845

- 0022. Sections 668.46(j) and (k) are proposed regulations with new burden which will be associated with OMB information collection 1845

- 0022. Based on data compiled in the 2012 Campus Safety and Securit y Survey, there are 7,230 institutions reporting to the system . This figure includes 2,011 Public, 1,845 Private Not

for

- Profit, and 3,365 Private For

- Profit institutions. This data was collected from August to October 2013 and represents the most current information available. These are the figures used in the fo llowing calculations. 34 CFR § 668.46 Institutional securit y policies and crimes statistics. Under proposed §668.46(b) Annual security report , we have revised and expanded existing language and added new requirements for items to be reported annually . We propose to revise §668.46(b)(4)(i) to require institutions to address in their statements of current policies the jurisdiction of securit y pe rsonnel for the investigation of alleged criminal offenses, as well as an y agreements, such as written memoranda of understanding between the institution and those police agencies. This proposed change incorporates modifications made to the HEA b y the HEO A and responds to requests the Department has received regarding the memorandum of understanding between campus securit y personnel and State and local law enforcement. We propose to expand §668.46(b)(4)(iii) to include, in the statement of policy , the r equirement that the institution encourage accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes to the campus police and the appropriate police agency when a victim of a crime elects to or is unable to make such a report. This proposed change incorporates modificat ions made6

ICRAS Tracking and OMB Number: (1403) 1845

- 0022 v 10 Revised: 4/2 9 /14 RIN Number: XXXX

- XXXX (if applicable) to the HEA b y the VAWA, ensures complete reporting of crime statistics in the institution’s annual security report and provides for a safer campus community whether a crime is reported b y the victim or a third

- part y. We propose to revise and res tructure §668.46(b)(11). Specificall y, we propose to require institutions to include in their annual security report a statement of policy regarding the institution’s programs to prevent dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking as well as the procedures that the institutions would follow when one of these crimes is reported. These newl y defined crimes replace the previous “sex offense” throughout this subsection. This proposed change incorporates modifications made to the HEA b y VAWA. In §668.46(b)(11)(ii) , we propose that institutions must provide written information to the victim of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. This includes information regarding: the preservation of evidence to assist in pr oving the alleged criminal offense or obtaining a protective order; how and to whom an alleged offense is to be reported; options for the involvement of law enforcement and campus authorities; and where applicable the victim’s rights or institution’s respo nsibilities for orders of protection. This proposed change incorporates modifications made to the HEA by VAWA as well as changes discussed during the negotiations. In §668.46(b)(11)(iii) , we propose to add a section to specify that institutions must addr ess in their annual security report how they

will complete publicly

available recordkeeping for the purposes of Clery Act reporting while not including identifying information about the victim and while maintaining the confidentiality of any accommodations or protective measures given to the victim, to the extent that such exclusions would not impair the ability of the institution to provide such accommodations or protective measures. This proposed change incorporates modifications made to the HEA b y VAWA as well as discussions during negotiations. We propose to revise §668.46(b)(11)(iv) to require institutions to specify in their annual securit y reports that they will provide a written notification of an expanded list of services to students and employ ee s if the services are available. These services include existing counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, visa and immigration services for the victim, and other services that may be available at the institution and in the community . This proposed change incorporates modifications made to the HEA b y VAWA as well as discussions during negotiations. We propose to revise current §668.46(b)(11)(v) to require institutions to specify in their annual security

report that written notification would be provided to victims of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking regarding their options for, and the availability

of, changes to academic, living, transportation, and working situations. These options would have to be afforded any victim, regardless of whether the victim reports the crime to campus policy or law enforcement. This proposed change incorporates modifications made to the HEA b y VAWA, as well as discussions during negotiations.7

ICRAS Tracking and OMB Number: (1403) 1845

- 0022 v 10 Revised: 4/2 9 /14 RIN Number: XXXX

- XXXX (if applicable) We propose to add a new §668.46(b)(11)(vi) to require institutions to specify in their annual security

reports that when a student or employ ee of the institution reports to the institution that a person is a victim of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or s talking that victim will be provided a written explanation of their rights and options under this subsection, whether the offense occurred on campus or off campus. This proposed change incorporates modifications made to the HEA b y VAWA. Burden Calculatio n: On average, we estimate that the proposed changes in §668.46(b)(11) would take each institution 2.5 hours of additional burden. As a result, reporting burden at public institutions would increase b y 5,028 hours (2,011 public institutions time 2.5 hour s per institution). Reporting burden at private non

- profit institutions would increase by 4,635 hours (1,854 private non

- profit institutions times 2.5 hours per institution). Reporting burden at private for

- profit institutions would increase by 8,413 hours (3,365 private for

- profit institutions times 2.5 hours per institution). Collectively , burden in §668.46(b) would increase by 18,076 hours under OMB Control Number 1845

- 0022. Under proposed §668.46(c), Crime statistics, we have revised and expanded existing language and added new reporting requirements for items to be reported in the annual survey . The proposed revisions to §668.46(c)(1) would add the VAWA crimes of dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking to th e crimes for which an institution must collect and disclose statistics as part of their annual crime statistics reporting process. The Department is modifying its approach for the reporting and disclosing of sex offenses to reflect updates to the FBI’s (Uniform Crime Reporting) UCR Program and to improve the clarit y of §668.46(c)(1). The Department is proposing a restructuring of the paragraph to consolidate all the reportable Clery Act crimes and to specify the categories of crimes. While institutions w ould continue to be required to report statistics for the three most recent calendar y ears, the proposed reporting requirements have been expanded because of the addition of new crimes added by VAWA. We have revised §668.46(c )(4)(iii) and §668.46(c)(vii) to include gender identity and national origin as two new categories of bias that serve as the basis for a determination of a hate crime. The institution would have to identify the category of bias that motivated the crime. Under proposed §668.46(c)(6), we added stalking as a reportable crime. The Department defined “stalking” in the proposed regulations. These proposed changes incorporate longstanding sub

- regulatory guidance, implement the changes VAWA made to the HEA, and improve the overall clarity o f this paragraph. We believe that additional burden would be added because there are additional crimes,8

- 0022 v 10 Revised: 4/2 9 /14 RIN Number: XXXX

- XXXX (if applicable) categories of crimes, differentiation of hate crimes, and expansions of the categories of bias that must be reported. Burden Calculation: On average , we estimate that the proposed changes to the reporting of crime statistics would take each institution 1.50 hours of additional burden. As a result, reporting burden at public institutions would increase b y 3,017 hours (2,011 reporting public institutio ns times 1.50 hours per institution). Reporting burden at private non - profit institutions would increase b y 2,781 hours (1,854 private non

- profit institutions times 1.50 hours). Reporting burden at private for

- profit institutions would increase b y 5,048 hours (3,365 private for

- profit institutions times 1.50 hours per institution). Collectively , burden in §668.46(c) would increase by 10,846 hours under OMB Control Number 1845

- 0022. Under proposed §668.46(j), Programs to prevent dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking , we are proposing particular elements of the required description of the institution’s programs and ongoing campaigns about prevention and awareness that must be included in the institution’s annual security report. Proposed §668.46(j)(1)(i) would require that the institution’s statement would have to contain certain elements in the description of the primary prevention and awareness programs for incoming students and new employ ees including the institution’ s prohibition of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, definitions of those crimes and a definition of “consent” according to the applicable jurisdiction, a description of safe and positive options for by stander intervention, inf ormation on risk reduction, and other elements of paragraphs 668.46(b)(11)(ii)

– (vii) and (k)(2). This is being done to incorporate changes made to the HEA by VAWA. And proposed §668.46(j)(1)(ii) would require that the institution’s statement must contain certain elements in the description of the ongoing prevention and awareness campaigns for students and employ ees, including the institution’s prohibition of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking; definitions of those crimes; a de finition of consent according to the applicable jurisdiction, a description of safe and positive options for by stander intervention; information on risk reduction; and other elements of paragraphs 668.46(b)(11)(ii)

– (vii) and (k)(2). This is being done to incorporate changes made to the HEA b y VAWA. Burden Calculation: On average, we estimate that the proposed changes to the institution’s statements of policy and description of programs and ongoing campaigns would take each institution four hours of addit ional burden. As a result, reporting burden at public institutions would increase b y 8,044 hours (2,011 reporting public institutions times 4 hours per institution). Reporting burden at private non

- profit institutions would increase b y 7,416 hours (1,854 private non

- profit institutions times 4 hours). Reporting burden at private for

- profit institutions would increase by 13,460 hours (3,365 private for

- profit institutions times 4 hours per institution).9

- 0022. Under proposed §668.46(k), Procedures for institutional disciplinary action in cases of alleged dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking , we would implement the statutory

changes requiring an institution that participates in any title IV, HEA program, other than a foreign institution, to include a statement of policy in its annual security

report addressing the procedures for institutional disciplinary action in case s of alleged dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Proposed §668.46(k)(1) would require various additions to the institution’s statement of policy that must be included in the annual security report. While a statement of poli cy is required under current regulations (see §668.46(b)(11)(vii)), the proposed regulations would require the following additions to the statement of policy

. Proposed §668.46(k)(1)(i) provides that the statement of policy must describe each ty

pe of discip linary

proceeding used by

the institution including the steps, anticipated timelines, and decision

- making process for each, and how the institution determines which ty pe of disciplinary

hearing to use. Proposed §668.46(k)(1)(ii) would provide that the statement of policy

must describe the standard of evidence that would be used during any disciplinary

proceeding. Proposed §668.46(k)(1)(iii) provides that the statement of policy must list all possible sanctions an institution may impose following the resul ts of any disciplinary

proceeding. Proposed §668.46(k)(1)(iv) provides that the policy statement must describe the range of protective measures that the institution may offer following an allegation of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, o r stalking. Under proposed §668.46(k)(2), the institution would have to provide additional information regarding its disciplinary proceedings in the statement of policy . An institution’s statement of policy would have to provide that its disciplinary pro ceeding includes a prompt, fair, and impartial process from the initial investigation to the final result under proposed §668.46(k)(2)(i). The policy statement would have to provide that the proceeding will be conducted b y officials who receive annual tra ining on the issues related to dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and annual training on how to conduct an investigation and hearing process that protects the safet y of victims and promotes accountability under proposed §668. 46(k)(2)(ii). Under proposed §668.46(k)(2)(iii), an institution’s statement of policy must provide that its disciplinary proceeding will afford the accuser and the accused the same opportunities to have others present during an institutional disciplinary proceeding, including the opportunity to be accompanied to an y related meeting or proceeding by an advisor of their choice. As proposed under §668.46(k)(2)(iv), an institution cannot limit the choice or presence of an advisor, however, the institution may establish restrictions regarding the advisor’s participation in the proceedings as long as those restrictions apply equally to both the accuser and the accused. Finally , under proposed §668.46(k)(2)(v), an institution’s statement of policy

would require simultaneous notification, in writing, to both the accuser and the accused of the result of an y institutional disciplinary proceeding, the10

- XXXX (if applicable) institution’s procedures for the accused and the victim’s right to appeal the result, any change to the result, or wh en such results become final. Burden Calculation: On average, we estimate that the proposed changes to the institution’s statement of policy would take each institution 2.75 hours of additional burden. As a result, reporting burden at public institutio ns would increase by 5,530 hours (2,011 reporting public institutions times 2.75 hours per institution). Reporting burden at private non

- profit institutions would increase b y 5,099 hours (1,854 private non

- profit institutions times 2.75 hours). Reporting burden at private for

T he current distribution of the respondents, responses , and hours for the OM information collection 1845

- 0022 is shown below and the Department is requesting the continued approval of these respondents, responses , and hours. The proposed changes would increase the current burden associated with §668.46 in this collection as follows: 13. Provide an estimate of the total annual cost burden to respondents or record keepers resulting from the collection of information. (Do not include the cost of any hour burden shown in Items 12 and 14.)

 The cost estimate should be split into two components: (a) a total capital and start
- up cost component (annualized over its expected useful life); and (b) a total operation and maintenance and purchase of services component. The estimates should take into account costs associated with generating, maintaining, and disclosing or prov iding the information. Include descriptions of methods used to estimate major cost factors including s ys tem and technology acquisition, expected useful life of capital equipment, the discount rate(s), and the time period over which costs will be incurred. Capital and start
- up costs include, among other items, preparations for collecting information such as purchasing computers and software; monitoring, sampling, drilling and testing equipment; and acquiring and maintaining record storage facilities.
 If co st estimates are expected to vary widel y, agencies should present ranges of cost burdens and explain the reasons for the variance. The cost of contracting out information collection services should be a part of this cost burden estimate. In developing co st burden estimates, agencies may consult with a sample of respondents (fewer than 10), utilize the 60

- day

pre - OMB submission public comment process and use existing economic or regulatory

impact anal ys is associated with the rulemaking containing the infor mation collection, as appropriate.

- XXXX (if applicable) 14. Provide estimates of annualized cost to the Federal government. Also, provide a description of the method used to estimate cost, which should include quantification of hours, operational expenses (such as equipment, overhead, printing, and support staff), and any other expense that would not have been incurred without this collection of information. Agencies also may aggregate cost estimates from Items 12, 13, and 14 in a single table. There are no additional costs to the Federal government as a result of the regulations. 15. Explain the reasons for an y program changes or adjustments. Generally , adjustments in burden result from re

- estimating burden and/or from economic phenomenon outside of an agency ’ s control (e.g., correcting a burden estimate or an organic increase in the size of the reporting universe). Prog ram changes result from a deliberate action that materiall y changes a collection of information and generally are result of new statute or an agency action (e.g., changing a form, revising regulations, redefining the respondent universe, etc.). Burden chan ges should be disaggregated by t ype of change (i.e., adjustment, program change due to new statute, and/or program change due to agency discretion) , ty

pe of collection (new, revision, extension, reinstatement with change, reinstatement without change) and include totals for changes in burden hours , responses and cost s (if applicable)

. This is a request for a revision of a current collection

. The increase in burden is a result of the proposed regulations at § 668.46 implementing changes based on the reautho rization of VAWA and its effect on the Clery Act

. These program changes add to the current burden in part due to the inclusion of two new sections in §668.46 that require additional data collection and reporting b y institutions as well as revisions to the existing data collection and reporting requirements. 16. For collections of information whose results will be published, outline plans for tabulation and publication. Address any complex analy

tical techniques that will be used. Provide the time sched ule for the entire project, including beginning and ending dates of the collection of information, completion of report, publication dates, and other actions. Both the institution and the Department display the annual campus safet y and securit y survey res ults on web sites to comply with regulation and to offer greater information sharing with the public

. 17. If seeking approval to not display the expiration date for OMB approval of the information collection, explain the reasons that display would be ina

ppropriate. The Department is not seeking this approval. 18. Explain each exception to the certification statement identified in the Certification of Paperwork Reduction Act.
