Title of Collection: 2017–18 National
Postsecondary Student Aid Study
Administrative Collection (NPSAS:18–
AC).
OMB Control Number: 1850–0666.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 10,804.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 63,335.
Abstract: This request is to conduct
the 2017–18 National Postsecondary
Student Aid Study, Administrative
Collection (NPSAS:18–AC). This study
is being conducted by the National
Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
NPSAS is a nationally representative
study of how students and their families
finance education beyond high school.
The first NPSAS was implemented by
NCES during the 1986–87 academic
year to meet the need for national data
about significant financial aid issues.
Since 1987, NPSAS has been fielded
every 3 to 4 years, most recently during
the 2015–16 academic year (NPSAS:16).
This submission is for NPSAS:18–AC,
which departs from the design of
previous NPSAS studies in three
respects: It is anticipated to include
state-representative estimates for
undergraduate students overall and in
public 2-year and public 4-year
institutions; it will provide financial aid
estimates 2-years earlier than how the
E:\FR\FM\13JYN1.SGM
13JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 133 / Thursday, July 13, 2017 / Notices
studies were previously scheduled; and
it will be the first NPSAS study without
a student interview component. Future
NPSAS collections will continue to
include a student interview every four
years (NPSAS:16, NPSAS:20,
NPSAS:24) to yield nationally
representative data. In alternating
cycles, an Administrative Collection
(NPSAS:18–AC, NPSAS:22–AC, and
NPSAS:26–AC) will be conducted in
which only administrative data from the
Department’s data systems and
institutional student records will be
compiled to yield state representative
data. This submission covers materials
and procedures related to enrollment
list collection, student record
abstractions, and matching to
administrative data files as part of the
NPSAS:18–AC data collection.

Abstract: Section 483, of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended
(HEA), mandates that the Secretary of
Education ‘‘. . . shall produce,
distribute, and process free of charge
common financial reporting forms as
described in this subsection to be used
for application and reapplication to
determine the need and eligibility of a
student for financial assistance . . .’’.
The determination of need and
eligibility are for the following Title IV,
HEA, federal student financial
assistance programs: The Federal Pell
Grant Program; the Campus-Based
programs (Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant
(FSEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS),
and the Federal Perkins Loan Program);
the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan
Program; the Teacher Education
Assistance for College and Higher
Education (TEACH) Grant; and the Iraq
and Afghanistan Service Grant.
Federal Student Aid (FSA), an office
of the U.S. Department of Education,
subsequently developed an application
process to collect and process the data
necessary to determine a student’s
eligibility to receive Title IV, HEA
program assistance. The application
process involves an applicant’s
submission of the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). After
submission and processing of the
FAFSA, an applicant receives a Student
Aid Report (SAR), which is a summary
of the processed data they submitted on
the FAFSA. The applicant reviews the
SAR, and, if necessary, will make
corrections or updates to their
submitted FAFSA data. Institutions of
higher education listed by the applicant
on the FAFSA also receive a summary
of processed data submitted on the
FAFSA which is called the Institutional
Student Information Record (ISIR).
ED and FSA seek OMB approval of all
application components as a single
‘‘collection of information’’. The
aggregate burden will be accounted for
under OMB Control Number 1845–0001.
The specific application components,
descriptions, and submission methods
for each are listed in Table 1.
