postsecondary education such as
enrollments, degrees and other awards
earned, tuition and fees, average net
price, student financial aid, graduation
rates, revenues and expenditures,
faculty salaries, and staff employed. The
IPEDS web-based data collection system
was implemented in 2000–01, and it
collects basic data from approximately
7,500 postsecondary institutions in the
United States and the other jurisdictions
that are eligible to participate in Title IV
Federal financial aid programs. All Title
IV institutions are required to respond
to IPEDS (Section 490 of the Higher
Education Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L.
102–325)). IPEDS allows other (non-title
IV) institutions to participate on a
voluntary basis. About 200 elect to
respond. IPEDS data are available to the
public through the College Navigator
and IPEDS Data Center Web sites. NCES
seeks authorization to continue its
IPEDS data collection. Current
authorization expires 6/30/2014 (OMB
No. 1850–0582). Clearance is also
sought for the 2014–15 and 2015–16
data collections in order to provide
institutions advanced notice of changes
to the current data collection. Because
the already approved 2013–14 IPEDS
data collection has not yet taken place,
we are carrying over the documentation
and estimated burden associated with
the 2013–14 data collection. The 30-day
public comment period for this
collection concluded on September 9,
2013. In response to the public
comments, two revisions have been
made to the proposed IPEDS 2013–2016
collection: (1) The item ‘‘Serial Titles’’
was deleted from the Academic
Libraries component because it had
been deleted from the 2012 Academic
Libraries Survey between the Technical
Review Panel meeting and the
submission of the clearance package,
and (2) a cohort status report at 6 years
was added for all institutions to the
Outcome Measures component to
accommodate the measurement of
awards in a timeframe that will align
with proposed policy changes related to
federal student loan limits and to
provide a second point in time measure
to assist students and their parents in
the college selection process. Award
information will now be reported at
both the 6 year and 8 year timeframe, 8
years after the cohort enters the
institution. As a result of these changes,

respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
