Abstract:. The National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) is seeking a
three-year clearance for a new survey
data collection for the College
Affordability and Transparency List
Explanation (CATE) form. The
collection of this information is
necessary pursuant to the Higher
Education Opportunity Act (HEOA)
Section 111, Part C (20 U.S.C. 1015a)
with the goal of increasing transparency
of college tuition prices for consumers.
The clearance should start with the
2011–12 collection year and extend
through the 2012–13 and 2013–14

collections. Part C of Section 111 of
HEOA included provisions for
improved transparency in college
tuition for consumers. In response to
these provisions, the Department of
Education created The College
Affordability and Transparency Center
(CATC) which can be accessed through
College Navigator. The CATC includes
information for students, parents, and
policymakers about college costs at
America’s colleges and universities. The
CATC also includes several lists of
institutions based on the tuition and
fees and/or net prices (the price of
attendance after considering all grant
and scholarship aid) charged to
students, including a list of institutions
that are 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
clearance being requested is to survey
the institutions on this list using the
College Affordability and Transparency
Explanation form to collect follow-up
information. The lists appearing in
CATC are generated using data collected
by the NCES through the Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System
(IPEDS). IPEDS is a mandatory data
collection for institutions that
participate in or are applicants for
participation in any federal student
financial aid program authorized by
Title IV of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1094,
Section 487(a)(17) and 34 CFR
668.14(b)(19)). The additional
information to be collected will be used
to write a summary report for Congress
which will also be posted on the College
Navigator website. The report will
summarize the general and sector
specific findings from the CATE using
descriptive statistics. The main cost
areas showing the highest increases will
be identified using the percent change
information provided by institutions.
The most commonly reported plans to
reduce the increases in those cost
increases will also be indicated. Finally,
the extent to which institutions
participate in setting tuition and fees
and net prices for students will be
described and the agencies outside of
the institutions that decide those
student charges will be identified.
