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: National Center for Information and Technical
Support for Postsecondary Students with Disabilities (NCITSPSD) Program
Database.
OMB Control Number: 1840-0841.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments;
Private Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,583.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 13,749.
Abstract: In 2021, a federal discretionary grant was awarded via
the National Center for Information and Technical Support for
Postsecondary Students with Disabilities Program (NCITSPSD) to the
National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD) at the
University of Minnesota and is authorized by Congress in the Higher
Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (777.4). The NCITSPSD program grant
was originally awarded in 2015 to the Association on Higher Education
and Disability (AHEAD). The NCCSD College Disability Resource Database
(CeDar) is designed to address a gap in information about services and
accessibility for college students with disabilities, who make up 11%
of the undergraduate population. Existing general information about
colleges is available in the U.S. Department of Education's on-line
College Navigator and College Affordability and Transparency Center,
but the only information about students with disabilities in these
databases is the percentage of students registered with
[[Page 31545]]
campus disability services office. At this time, this is the only
database that provides systemic collection of information about campus-
level, disability-related services, access, and activities at colleges
and universities in the United States. The NCCSD survey asks all U.S.
campuses to provide basic information about disability services,
accessibility of campuses, and disability-related activities that may
affect inclusion and the campus climate. The data is available to the
public in an accessible and searchable database to assist prospective
college students and their families in making informed decisions during
the college search process. Because the database is public, researchers
and policy makers are able to utilize the data to gather information
about disability and higher education in systemic ways.
