If so, how should the Bureau decide when correction and resubmission of the HMDA LAR is necessary? 9. Should the Bureau’s HMDA review procedures or guidelines address circumstances in which HMDA data are reported by several financial institutions that have an affiliate and/or subsidiary relationship with each other? If so, how? 10. Are any changes needed in how the Bureau selects HMDA samples to conduct HMDA data integrity reviews? If so, what changes are needed and why? 11. Are any other changes needed in the manner in which the Bureau conducts its HMDA data integrity reviews? If so, what changes are needed and why? 12. Are there any technological or other changes that could be made to the HMDA data collection system or to the process by which it applies edits to identify possible errors that could help HMDA reporters reduce the frequency of errors or otherwise promote data integrity? To the extent possible, please provide a detailed explanation of any views expressed. For example, if a commenter suggests that an error threshold should be changed or apply to only certain HMDA data fields, the Bureau would be interested to understand how the commenter arrived at the suggestion. The Bureau encourages commenters to explain how any suggested changes to the Resubmission Guidelines could change HMDA compliance costs. Furthermore, the Bureau is interested in any comments regarding how changes to the Resubmission Guidelines may affect the reliability or usefulness of HMDA data. The Bureau anticipates that it will not separately propose and solicit public comment on any specific changes to its Resubmission Guidelines before finalizing and publishing the changes.

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; Public Law 102–325). IPEDS allows other (nontitle 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. ED requested emergency clearance processing (approved in November 2015; OMB# 1850–0582 v.17), due to the Government Accounting Standards Board’s (GASB) revision of their reporting standards that also impacts reporting of some of the institutions in IPEDS, to revise the 2015–16 IPEDS Finance forms and continue the remaining parts of the 2015–16 IPEDS collection as previously approved (OMB# 1850–0582 v.13–15). As part of the emergency clearance, new screening question was added to the 2015–16 IPEDS Finance survey for institutions to indicate whether they have additional (or decreased) pension expense, additional pension liability (or assets), or additional deferral to report as a result of GASB Statement 68. For the institutions that answer ‘‘yes’’, four fields have been added to collect the amounts of the additional (or decreased) expense, additional liability (or assets), deferred inflows of resources, and deferred outflows of resources. This submission extends the public comment period under regular approval process (with a 60-day followed by a 30-day public comment periods) on the revisions approved under the emergency clearance process (OMB# 1850–0582 v.17).

    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; Public Law 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.
    ED requested emergency clearance processing (approved in November 
2015; OMB# 1850-0582 v.17), due to the Government Accounting Standards 
Board's (GASB) revision of their reporting standards that also impacts 
reporting of some of the institutions in IPEDS, to revise the 2015-16 
IPEDS Finance forms and continue the remaining parts of the 2015-16 
IPEDS collection as previously approved (OMB# 1850-0582 v.13-15). As 
part of the emergency clearance, new screening question was added to 
the 2015-16 IPEDS Finance survey for institutions to indicate whether 
they have additional (or decreased) pension expense, additional pension 
liability (or assets), or additional deferral to report as a result of 
GASB Statement 68. For the institutions that answer ``yes'', four 
fields have been added to collect the amounts of the additional (or 
decreased) expense, additional liability (or assets), deferred inflows 
of resources, and deferred outflows of resources. This submission 
extends the public comment period under regular approval process (with 
a 60-day followed by a 30-day public comment periods) on the revisions 
approved under the emergency clearance process (OMB# 1850-0582 v.17).
