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: Gainful Employment/Financial Value
Transparency Reporting Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 1845-NEW.
Type of Review: A new ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, local, and Tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 149,800.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,665,823.
Abstract: The regulations in Sec. 668.408 in Subpart Q--Financial
Value Transparency, that were negotiated in 2022 and the Final Rule
published in 2023, establish reporting requirements for postsecondary
institutions who participate in the title IV programs under the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended, to report on their students who
enroll in, complete, or withdraw from a gainful employment (GE) program
or an eligible non-GE program in specified award years. The new
regulations also define the timeframes for institutions to report the
required information. This is a request for a new collection to allow
the Department to obtain the required information and assess the burden
on institutions. The average burden hours of 2,665,823 is for the
average 149,860 responses for 4,518 respondents over 3 years. We
divided the total 3 year burden hours of 7,997,468, and the 499,580
responses by 3 to obtain these averages.
Dated: February 15, 2024.
