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: Student Assistance General Provisions--Annual
Fire Safety Report.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0097.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and
Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,310.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,313.
Abstract: The Department of Education regulations at 34 CFR 668.49
require institutions to collect statistics on fires occurring in on-
campus student housing facilities, including the number and cause of
each fire, the number of injuries related to each fire that required
treatment at a medical facility, the number of deaths related to each
fire, and the value of property damage caused by each fire.
Institutions must also publish an annual fire safety report containing
the institution's policies regarding fire safety and the fire
statistics information. Further institutions are required to maintain a
fire log that records the date, time, nature, and general location of
each fire in on-campus student housing facilities. Due to the effects
of the COVID-9 pandemic, the Department lacks sufficient data to allow
for more
[[Page 58902]]
accurate updates to the usage of these regulations. This request is for
an extension without change to the reporting requirements contained in
the regulations. The collection requirements in the regulations are
necessary to meet institutional information reporting to students and
staff as well as for reporting to Congress through the Secretary.
Dated: October 20, 2021.
Kate Mullan,
PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance Governance and
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
Evaluation and Policy Development.
