Abstract: The Federal Pell Grant (Pell Grant) program is a student
financial assistance program authorized under the Higher Education Act
of 1965, as amended (HEA). The program provides grant assistance to an
eligible student attending an institution of higher education. The
institution determines the students award and disburses program funds
on behalf of the Department of Education (the Department). Institutions
are required to report student Pell Grant payment information to the
Department electronically. Electronic reporting is conducted through
the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system. The COD system is
used by institutions to request, report, and reconcile grant funds
received from the Pell Grant program. The Department uses the
information collected in the COD system to aid in ensuring compliance
with fiscal and administrative requirements under the HEA for the Pell
Grant program and under 34 CFR 690 for the Pell Grant program
regulations. This is a request for an extension of the current
information collection.

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