SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the 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: Recent Graduates Employment and Earnings 
Survey (RGEES) Standards and Survey Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 22,123.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,770.
    Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of 
the U.S. Department of Education (Department) is required by regulation 
to develop an earnings survey to support gainful employment (GE) 
program evaluations. The regulations specify that the Secretary of 
Education will publish in the Federal Register the survey and the 
standards required for its administration. NCES has developed the 
Recent Graduates Employment and Earnings Survey (RGEES) Standards and 
Survey Form. The RGEES can be used in a debt-to-earnings (D/E) ratio 
appeal under the GE regulations as an alternative to the Social 
Security administration earnings data.
    Institutions that choose to submit alternate earnings appeal 
information will survey all Title IV funded students who graduated from 
GE programs during the same period that the Department used to 
calculate the D/E ratios, or a comparable period as defined in 
668.406(b)(3) of the regulations. The survey will provide an additional 
source of earnings data for the Department to consider before 
determining final D/E ratios for programs subject to the gainful

[[Page 37245]]

employment regulations. Programs with final D/E ratios that fail to 
meet the minimum threshold may face sanctions, including the possible 
loss of Title IV federal student financial aid program funds.
