The Pell Grant Expansions
under the PGE is a two-part, five-year
demonstration study sponsored by the
U.S. Department of Education that
focuses on the effects of expanded
access to Pell grants on students’
employment and earnings outcomes.
The primary outcome of interest is (1)
the employment status and earnings of
students who participate in the study
while secondary outcomes include (2)
students’ experiences with and
participation in education and training,
(3) measures of student debt and
financial aid, and (4) the extent of
participation in job search assistance
services.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before July 2,
2012.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
regarding burden and/or the collection
activity requirements should be
electronically mailed to
ICDocketMgr@ed.gov or mailed to U.S.

Section
3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires
that Federal agencies provide interested
parties an early opportunity to comment
on information collection requests. The
Director, Information Collection
Clearance Division, Privacy, Information
and Records Management Services,
Office of Management, publishes this
notice containing proposed information
collection requests at the beginning of
the Departmental review of the
information collection. The Department
of Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Pell Grant
Expansions Under the PGE Study 2012.
OMB Control Number: Pending .
Type of Review: New .
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 13,400.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 3,932.
Abstract: This study consists of two
substudies, each of which will examine
the impact of a single change to the Pell
grant eligibility criteria. The first
substudy will relax the prohibition on
receipt of Pell grants by students with
a bachelors’ degree. Individuals eligible
for the first substudy must have a

bachelor’s degree, be unemployed or
underemployed, and pursue a
vocational training program up to one
year in duration. The second substudy
will reduce the minimum duration and
intensity levels of programs that Pell
grant recipients must participate in from
15 weeks with 600 minimum clock
hours to 8 weeks with 150 minimum
clock hours. Each substudy will operate
through a set of PGE schools that
provide education and training services
that qualify as PGE programs.
Participants in both substudies will be
randomly assigned to either (1) a
treatment group, which will have
expanded access to Pell grants; or (2) a
control group, which will not have
access. Within both substudies, the
treatment group will be very similar to
the control at the time of random
assignment except for access to Pell
grants. Subsequent differences in the
employment and earnings outcomes
between treatment and control group
members can then be attributed to Pell
grant access. The first substudy will
involve roughly 28 PGE schools with an
average of 100 students participating per
school. The second substudy will
involve roughly 40 PGE schools with an
average of 200 participating students per
school. The expected sample of both
substudies combined is approximately
10,800 students. Data for this evaluation
will come from participants’ Free
Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) applications, PGE school
administrative records, Social Security
Administration earnings statements, and
a survey of study participants. The
study participant enrollment period is
expected to last from July 2012 to
January 2014. Data extracts from FAFSA
applications will occur between October
and December during years 2012–2014.
Administrative extracts from PGE
schools will occur between January and
March during years 2013–2015. A
stratified survey of treatment and
control group members with a targeted
total sample size of 2,000 will be fielded
between July 2014 and March 2015.

respondents one year after they received
their bachelor’s degree; the second
follow-up (B&B:08/12) will collect data
four years after bachelor’s degree
receipt. Interview data will be

administrative data sources, including
the Central Processing System, the
National Student Loan Data System, and
