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: State Authorization.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0144.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and
Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 5,428.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,714.
Abstract: The Department of Education (the Department) requests
extension of this information collection regarding Institutional
Eligibility regulations in Sec. 600.9--State Authorization. These
regulations were a result of negotiated rulemaking in early 2019 and
the requirements to these regulations have not changed.
The regulations in Sec. 600.9(c)(2)(i) require an institution to
determine in which State a student is located while enrolled in a
distance education or correspondence course when the institution
participates in a State authorization reciprocity agreement under which
it is covered in accordance with the institution's policies and
procedures. The updates to the policies and procedures are not reported
to the Department nor is there a specified format for such information.
The regulations in Sec. 600.9(c)(2)(ii) require an institution,
upon request from the Secretary, provide the written documentation of
its determination of a student's location, including the basis for such
determination. There is no specific form or format for the institutions
to provide this information to the Department upon request. It is
anticipated that an institution would provide the pertinent portions of
the policy and procedures manual to respond to such a request from the
[[Page 48010]]
Department, but it may provide the requested information in another
method.
Dated: August 1, 2022.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance, Governance and
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
Evaluation and Policy Development.
