Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. 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: School Pulse Panel 

2022 Quarter 3 Revision. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0969. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 17,280. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 4,752. 

Abstract: The School Pulse Panel 

(SPP) is a new data collection originally 

designed to collect voluntary responses 

from a nationally representative sample 

of public schools to better understand 

how schools, students, and educators 

are responding to the ongoing stressors 

of the coronavirus pandemic. The SPP 

monthly data collection (OMB #1850– 

0969) was formally cleared in April 

2022, with change requests (OMB# 

1850–0969 v.2–3) to clear the May and 

June 2022 Questionnaires cleared 

shortly thereafter. This collection allows 

NCES to comply with the January 21, 

2021 E.O. 14000 Executive Order on 

Supporting the Reopening and 

Continuing Operation of Schools and 

Early Childhood Education Providers. 

Information is collected monthly from a 

nationally representative sample of 

public schools to better understand how 

schools, students, and educators are 

responding to the ongoing stressors of 

the coronavirus pandemic, along with 

other priority items for the White 

House, Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, and Department of 

Education program offices. The SPP 

study is extremely important 

particularly now that COVID–19 has not 

waned, and the pulse model is one that 

the agency will need after the pandemic 

subsides for other quick-turnaround 

data needs. The purpose of this 

submission is to propose and seek 30- 

day public comment on new items 

(within the scope of research domains 

both previously established and 

minimally revised in this request) to be 

collected on the August and September 

instruments (Appendix B.4). These 

items are considered very close to final 

and will go through minimal testing 

with school personnel to examine any 

comprehension concerns with item 

wording. Feedback from this testing, as 

well as additional input from SPP 

stakeholders, will result in 

modifications and additions that will be 

reflected in future change requests. 

Some previously approved items that 

are considered core content will be 

collected in August and September. 

Specifically, items on learning modes, 

quarantine, and some mitigation items 

will be repeated to maintain trend over 

time. Screener questions confirming 

point of contact information are also 

included in this revision. We would like 

to ask for updated contact information 

at the end of each survey to ensure we 

have the most up to date information for 

mailings and communications. Lastly, 

we plan to now add schools in the 

outlying areas to the sample, as 

described in revisions to Part B. All 

current study operations will be the 

same for the outlying areas, but we do 

need to send an introductory email to 

school principals. That email has been 

added to Appendix A. There are no 

changes to burden or costs associated 

with this revision.

Abstract: The National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) seeks 

authorization from OMB to make a 

change to the Integrated Postsecondary 

Education Data System (IPEDS) data 

collection. Current authorization expires 

August 31, 2022 (OMB# 1850–0582 

v.24–29). NCES is requesting a new 

clearance for the 2022–23, 2023–24, and 

2024–25 data collections to enable us to 

make changes to the IPEDS data 

collection components, clarify 

definitions and instructions throughout 

the components, and to continue the 

IPEDS collection of postsecondary data 

over the next three years. 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, student outcomes, 

revenues and expenditures, faculty 

salaries, and staff employed. The IPEDS 

web-based data collection system was 

implemented in 2000–01. In 2020–21, 

IPEDS collected data from 6,063 

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; approximately 300 nontitle IV institutions elect to respond 

each year. Institution closures and 

mergers have led to a decrease in the 

number of institutions in the IPEDS 

universe over the past few years. Due to 

these fluctuations, combined with the 

addition of new institutions, NCES uses 

rounded estimates for the number of 

institutions in the respondent burden 

calculations for the upcoming years 

(estimated 6,100 Title IV institutions 

plus 300 non-title IV institutions for a 

total of 6,400 institutions estimated to 

submit IPEDS data during the 2022–23 

through 2024–25 IPEDS data 

collections). IPEDS data are available to 

the public through the College Navigator 

and IPEDS Data Center websites. This 

clearance package includes a number of 

proposed changes to the data collection. 

As part of the public comment period 

review, NCES requests that IPEDS data 

submitters and other stakeholders 

respond to the directed questions found 

in Appendix D of this submission.

I. Introduction 

A. Background 

LPO administers certain DOE lending 

programs, including under Title XVII of 

the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as 

amended (‘‘Title XVII’’).1 Title XVII 

authorizes the Secretary of Energy (the 

‘‘Secretary’’) to make loan guarantees for 

projects that ‘‘avoid, reduce, utilize, or 

sequester air pollutants or 

anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse 

gases’’ and ‘‘employ new or significantly 

improved technologies as compared to 

commercial technologies in service in 

the United States.’’ 2 LPO has 

administered the Title XVII Loan 

Guarantee Program pursuant to its 

regulations set forth at 10 CFR part 609 

(the ‘‘Title XVII Rule’’), as required by 

the authorizing statute.3 LPO provides 

additional guidance to applicants and 

establishes requirements in the 

solicitations for loan guarantee 

applications, which are issued and 

updated from time to time. 

The Title XVII Rule sets forth the 

policies and procedures that DOE uses 

for the application process, which 

includes receiving, evaluating, and 

approving applications for loan 

guarantees to support eligible projects 

under Title XVII. The rule establishes 

the process by which DOE issues 

solicitations for applications for loan 

guarantees for eligible projects. The rule 

applies to all applications, conditional 

commitments, and loan guarantee 

agreements under the Title XVII Loan 

Guarantee Program and provides 

specific guidance to program applicants 

regarding eligibility for the program, the 

loan guarantee application process and 

requirements, criteria for DOE’s 

evaluation of applications, and the 

process for negotiation and execution of 

a loan guarantee agreement term sheet, 

conditional commitment, and loan 

guarantee agreement. The Title XVII
