IPEDS is a system of surveys designed
to collect basic data from postsecondary institutions in the US. To
date, the main focus of IPEDS has been Title IV institutions, but
institutions that do not participate in these federal student
financial aid programs are becoming an increasingly important
source of educational opportunity in the country. But their scope
and nature are not well known. This survey is designed to arrive at
a statistical estimate of the number of non-Title IV
institutions.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
