The IPEDS web-based data collection system was implemented in 2000–01, and it collects basic data from approximately 7,500 postsecondary institutions in the United States and the other jurisdictions that are eligible to participate in Title IV Federal financial aid programs. All Title IV institutions are required to respond to IPEDS (Section 490 of the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L. 102–325)). IPEDS allows other (non-title IV) institutions to participate on a voluntary basis. About 200 elect to respond. IPEDS data are available to the public through the College Navigator and IPEDS Data Center Web sites. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) seeks authorization to continue its IPEDS data collection. Current authorization expires 6/30/2014 (OMB No. 1850–0582).

implemented in 2000-01, and it collects basic data from approximately 
7,500 postsecondary institutions in the United States and the other
