of information through CATEF is required by 132 of the Higher Education
Act of 1965 as amended (HEA), 20 U.S.C. 1015a. CATEF collects follow-up
information from institutions that appear on the tuition and fees and/
or net price increase College Affordability and Transparency Center
(CATC) Lists for being in the five percent of institutions in their
institutional sector that have the highest increases, expressed as a
percentage change, over the three-year time period for which the most
recent data are available. The information collected through CATEF is
used to write a summary report for Congress which is also posted on the
CATC website (accessible through the College Navigator). The Department
will continue to use two CATEF forms: (1) Net Price and (2) Tuition and
Fees.
