Title of Collection: Integrated 

Postsecondary Education Data System 

(IPEDS) 2013–2016. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0582. 

Type of Review: Revision of a Current 

Information Collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 77,600. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 954,030. 

Abstract: The Integrated 

Postsecondary Education Data System 

(IPEDS) is a web-based data collection 

system designed to collect basic data 

from all postsecondary institutions in 

the United States and the other 

jurisdictions. IPEDS enables NCES to 

report on key dimensions of 

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. The 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES) seeks authorization to continue 

its IPEDS data collection. Current 

authorization expires 6/30/2014 (OMB 

No. 1850–0582). We are requesting a 

new clearance for the 2014–15 and 

2015–16 data collections now in order 

to provide institutions a one-year 

advance 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.
