Abstract:
Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of surveys designed to collect basic data from approximately 7,000 Title IV postsecondary institutions in the United States and other jurisdictions. The IPEDS provides information on numbers of students enrolled, degrees completed, other awards earned, dollars expended, staff employed at postsecondary institutions, and cost and pricing information. The amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1998, Part C, Sec. 131, specify the need for the "redesign of relevant data systems to improve the usefulness and timeliness of the data collected by such systems." As a consequence, in 2000 IPEDS began to collect data through a web-based data collection system. The data collection is now entirely web-based, and is required for those institutions participating in Title IV federal student aid programs; other institutions participate on a voluntary basis. IPEDS data are available to the public through the College Navigator and IPEDS Data Center websites. This clearance package seeks authorization from OMB to continue IPEDS data collection through 2014, describes revisions to the currently approved (2010-11) IPEDS burden estimates, and includes a number of proposed changes to the data collection.

Short Statement:
There is a significant increase in estimated annual burden to respondents presented in this package due to (1) significant revisions to the previous burden estimates as a result of a new methodology for making estimates, consistent with advise from GAO; and (2) a set of changes to the data collection, described in this submission, mostly in the areas of student financial aid, human resources, and distance education that will improve on the usefulness to IPEDS data users including policymakers, researchers, and consumer. The majority of these changes were suggested by the IPEDS technical review panel and have been previously posted for public comment from the higher education community. The majority of the increase in burden is being considered as an adjustment -although there is a also a small reduction in burden due to program change. Please note that the difference in the summary table as it relates to the number of burden hours attributed to adjustment vs program change is due to eliminating multiple IC's(30+) and consolidating the IC's into 1 IC (since they are all the same respondent type). This change resulted in a one-time distortion of the number of burden hours attributed to adjustment. This should not be an issue with future clearances.
