Institute of Education Sciences Type of Review: New. Title of Collection: College Affordability and Transparency Explanation (CATE) Form 2011–2014. OMB Control Number: Pending. Agency Form Number(s): N/A. Frequency of Responses: Annually. Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 532. Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 1,596. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 60817 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.

Explanation (CATE) Form 2011-2014.
    OMB Control Number: Pending.
    Agency Form Number(s): N/A.
    Frequency of Responses: Annually.

    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.
