SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
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: 76,000.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,030,893.
    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 08/31/2019 (OMB #1850-0582). NCES is requesting a new clearance 
for the 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20 data collections to enable us to 
make a change to two of the IPEDS data collection components and to 
continue the IPEDS 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.
