Abstract: Federal Student Aid (FSA) is requesting a new information
collection to collect the required information from institutions
regarding foreign gifts and contracts as specified in the Higher
Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended. Section 117 of the HEA,
codified at 20 U.S.C. 1011f, provides that institutions of higher
education must file a disclosure report with the Secretary of Education
on January 31 or July 31, whichever is sooner, under certain
circumstances.
In June of 2020, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) established
a collection of information, Foreign Gifts and Contracts Disclosures,
1801-0006, through ED's Partner Enterprise Business Collaboration
(PEBC) system. That collection is under an OMB control number for ED's
Office of the General Counsel (OGC), which has worked closely with FSA
in recent years with respect to administration of Section 117.
With this request for a new collection, the Department would be
returning the collection of this information to FSA, which is the
office with primary responsibility for the administration of Section
117 within the Department going forward. At present, the Department
plans to continue to collect this data through its PEBC system with
only slight modifications based on public comment.
