SUMMARY: The 2012/14 Beginning 

Postsecondary Students Longitudinal 

Study (BPS:12/14), conducted by the 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES), is designed to follow a cohort 

of students who enroll in postsecondary 

education for the first time during the 

2011–2012 academic year, irrespective 

of date of high school completion. The 

study collects data on student 

persistence in, and completion of, 

postsecondary education programs; 

their transition to employment; 

demographic characteristics; and 

changes over time in their goals, marital 

status, income, and debt, among other 

measures.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that Federal agencies provide interested 

parties an early opportunity to comment 

on information collection requests. The 

Acting Director, Information Collection 

Clearance Division, Privacy, Information 

and Records Management Services, 

Office of Management, publishes this 

notice containing proposed information 

collection requests at the beginning of 

the Departmental review of the 

information collection. The Department 

of Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

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 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

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. 

Title of Collection: 2012/14 Beginning 

Postsecondary Students Longitudinal 

Study: (BPS:12/14) Field Test. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0631. 

Type of Review: Revision. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 13,975. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,294. 

Abstract: Data from BPS are used to 

help researchers and policymakers 

better understand how financial aid 

influences persistence and completion, 

what percentages of students complete 

various degree programs, what early 

employment and wage outcomes are for 

certificate and degree attainers, and why 

students leave school. This request is to 

conduct the BPS:12/14 first follow-up 

field test, including panel maintenance, 

student interviews and reinterviews, 

and administrative record matching. 

Following the field test study in 2013, 

NCES will submit a request for 

clearance of the BPS:12/14 full scale 

data collection to be conducted in 

spring 2014. Because only minimal 

changes are expected after the field test, 

NCES is requesting a waiver of the 60- 

day Federal Register Notice for the fullscale collection clearance submission. 

Dated: October 16, 2012.

Clearance Division, Privacy, Information and
