postsecondary education such as 

enrollments, degrees and other awards 

earned, tuition and fees, average net 

price, student financial aid, graduation 

rates, revenues and expenditures, 

faculty salaries, and staff employed. The 

IPEDS web-based data collection system 

was implemented in 2000–01, and it 

collects basic data from approximately 

7,500 postsecondary institutions in the 

United States and the other jurisdictions 

that are eligible to participate in Title IV 

Federal financial aid programs. All Title 

IV institutions are required to respond 

to IPEDS (Section 490 of the Higher 

Education Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L. 

102–325)). IPEDS allows other (non-title 

IV) institutions to participate on a 

voluntary basis. About 200 elect to 

respond. IPEDS data are available to the 

public through the College Navigator 

and IPEDS Data Center Web sites. NCES 

seeks authorization to continue its 

IPEDS data collection. Current 

authorization expires 6/30/2014 (OMB 

No. 1850–0582). Clearance is also 

sought for the 2014–15 and 2015–16 

data collections in order to provide 

institutions advanced notice of changes 

to the current data collection. Because 

the already approved 2013–14 IPEDS 

data collection has not yet taken place, 

we are carrying over the documentation 

and estimated burden associated with 

the 2013–14 data collection. The 30-day 

public comment period for this 

collection concluded on September 9, 

2013. In response to the public 

comments, two revisions have been 

made to the proposed IPEDS 2013–2016 

collection: (1) The item ‘‘Serial Titles’’ 

was deleted from the Academic 

Libraries component because it had 

been deleted from the 2012 Academic 

Libraries Survey between the Technical 

Review Panel meeting and the 

submission of the clearance package, 

and (2) a cohort status report at 6 years 

was added for all institutions to the 

Outcome Measures component to 

accommodate the measurement of 

awards in a timeframe that will align 

with proposed policy changes related to 

federal student loan limits and to 

provide a second point in time measure 

to assist students and their parents in 

the college selection process. Award 

information will now be reported at 

both the 6 year and 8 year timeframe, 8 

years after the cohort enters the 

institution. As a result of these changes, 

NCES is opening another 30-day public 

comment period.

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records.
