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) 2022-23 through 2024-25.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0582.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 62,970.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 760,351.
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 August 31, 2022 (OMB# 1850-0582 v.24-29). NCES is requesting a
new clearance for the 2022-23, 2023-24, and 2024-25 data collections to
enable us to make changes to the IPEDS data collection components,
clarify definitions and instructions throughout the components, and to
continue the IPEDS collection of postsecondary data over the next three
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. In 2020-21, IPEDS
collected data from 6,063 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; approximately 300
non-title IV institutions elect to respond each year. Institution
closures and mergers have led to a decrease in the number of
institutions in the IPEDS universe over the past few years. Due to
these fluctuations, combined with the addition of new institutions,
NCES uses rounded estimates for the number of institutions in the
respondent burden calculations for the upcoming years (estimated 6,100
Title IV institutions plus 300 non-title IV institutions for a total of
6,400 institutions estimated to submit IPEDS data during the 2022-23
through 2024-25 IPEDS data collections). IPEDS data are available to
the public through the College Navigator and IPEDS Data Center
websites. This clearance package includes a number of proposed changes
to the data collection. As part of the public comment period review,
NCES requests that IPEDS data submitters and other stakeholders respond
to the directed questions found in Appendix D of this submission.
