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: Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System 
(IPEDS) 2016-2019.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0582.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 77,600.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 999,060.
    Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) seeks 
authorization from OMB to continue the Integrated Postsecondary 
Education Data System (IPEDS) data collection. Current authorization 
expires 12/31/2016 (OMB No. 1850-0582). We are requesting a new 
clearance for the 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19 data collections to 
enable us to provide consistency in our collection of postsecondary 
data over the next 3 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, 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. This clearance package includes a number 
of proposed changes to the data collection.
