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: 2017-18 National Postsecondary Student Aid 
Study Administrative Collection (NPSAS: 18-AC).
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0666.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 10,804.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 63,335.
    Abstract: This request is to conduct the 2017-18 National 
Postsecondary Student Aid Study, Administrative Collection (NPSAS:18-
AC). This study is being conducted by the National Center for Education 
Statistics (NCES). NPSAS is a nationally representative study of how 
students and their families finance education beyond high school. The 
first NPSAS was implemented by NCES during the 1986-87 academic year to 
meet the need for national data about significant financial aid issues. 
Since 1987, NPSAS has been fielded every 3 to 4 years, most recently 
during the 2015-16 academic year (NPSAS:16). This submission is for 
NPSAS:18-AC, which departs from the design of previous NPSAS studies in 
three respects: It is anticipated to include state-representative 
estimates for undergraduate students overall and in public 2-year and 
public 4-year institutions; it will provide financial aid estimates 2-
years earlier than how the studies were previously scheduled; and

[[Page 45282]]

it will be the first NPSAS study without a student interview component. 
Future NPSAS collections will continue to include a student interview 
every four years (NPSAS:16, NPSAS:20, NPSAS:24) to yield nationally 
representative data. In alternating cycles, an Administrative 
Collection (NPSAS:18-AC, NPSAS:22-AC, and NPSAS:26-AC) will be 
conducted in which only administrative data from the Department's data 
systems and institutional student records will be compiled to yield 
state representative data. This submission covers materials and 
procedures related to enrollment list collection, student record 
abstractions, and matching to administrative data files as part of the 
NPSAS:18-AC data collection.
