    Type of Review: A new information collection.

    Abstract: The Department of Education (the Department) is seeking a 
new OMB control number for the collection of URLs hosting institutional 
contracts and contract data relating to campus banking agreements. This 
is a new requirement of the final Program Integrity and Improvement 
regulations published on October 30, 2015. When the Department added 
the requirement for institutions to post campus banking agreement 
contracts and contract data to their Web sites, consumer advocates 
requested that a central repository for these web addresses be made 
publicly available for research and comparison purposes. This database 
will allow interested parties, such as students, families, press, 
institutions, and researchers to easily access and compare banking 
agreements available at different institutions.

    Dated: October 20, 2016.

Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of 
the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management.
