    Title of Collection: Gainful Employment Recent Graduates Employment 
and Earning Survey Pilot Test.
    OMB Control Number: 1845--NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,040.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 170.
    Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of 
the U.S. Department of Education (ED) is required by regulation to 
develop an earnings survey to support gainful employment program 
evaluations (see 34 CFR 668.406 as specified in final regulations 
published in the Federal Register in October 2014). NCES is responsible 
for developing the survey and the technical standards to which programs 
must adhere in its administration. The regulations specify that the 
Secretary of Education will publish in the Federal Register a pilot-
tested earnings survey and the standards required for its 
administration. The draft standards are being published for public 
comment in a separate announcement. This request is to conduct a pilot 
test of the Recent Graduates Employment and Earnings Survey (RGEES). 
The RGEES pilot test will measure unit response rates and enable 
comparisons to earnings data collected through other surveys and in 
administrative records. The pilot study results will be used to compare 
median earnings collected through the survey to median earnings for 
graduates from comparable programs based on a match to the Social 
Security Administration as part of the 2012 gainful employment 
informational rates.
