SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. 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: Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System
(IPEDS) 2015–2016 Pension Liabilities
Update.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0582.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
local and tribal governments, Private
Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 71,867.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,050,870.
Abstract: The Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System
(IPEDS) is a web-based data collection
system designed to collect basic data
from all postsecondary institutions in
the United States and the other
jurisdictions. IPEDS enables The
National Center of Education Statistics
(NCES) to report on key dimensions of
postsecondary education such as
enrollments, degrees and other awards
earned, tuition and fees, average net
price, student financial aid, graduation
rates, revenues and expenditures,
faculty salaries, and staff employed. 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 institutions
elect to respond. IPEDS data are
available to the public through the
College Navigator and IPEDS Web sites.
Additional Information: ED is
requesting emergency processing due to
an unanticipated event. The
Government Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) changed the reporting
standards for pensions such that
unfunded pension liabilities are now
included in the financial statements
(GASB Standard 68). In the initial
reporting year (2015), institutions will
report the total amount of accrued
pension liabilities. This will result in a
dramatic increase in reported expenses
for the 2015 year. In subsequent years,
reporting will show only the
incremental increase in unfunded
pension liabilities. The approximately
2,000 public institutions using GASB
accounting standards that have ever
participated in pension systems will be
particularly affected by this change in
reporting standards when the IPEDS
collection opens on December 9, 2015.
To accommodate this change, NCES
proposes to add to the IPEDS Finance
survey a new screening question and
three new fields related to the unfunded
pension liabilities to allow the affected
institutions to provide information that
will allow NCES to correctly calculate
cost per Full-Time Enrolled Student for
these institutions. This addition is
expected to increase IPEDS reporting
burden for approximately 2,000 Public
GASB institutions by an average of 30
minutes. ED requests approval of this
emergency request by November 20,
2015.
Dated: October 15, 2015.
