Title of Collection: 2023–24 National
Postsecondary Student Aid Study
(NPSAS:24) Field Test—Student Data
Collection and Student Records.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0666.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 7,237.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 8,663.
Abstract: This request is to conduct
the 2023–24 National Postsecondary
Student Aid Study Field Test
(NPSAS:24 FT) student data collection,
consisting of a student record data
abstraction and a student survey,
carrying over the approved NPSAS:24
FT Institution Collection (OMB#1859–
0666 v. 33). This study is being
conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), within the
Institute of Education Sciences (IES),
part of the U.S. Department of
Education.
This submission covers materials and
procedures related to the NPSAS:24
student data collection, which includes
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
abstraction of student data from
institutions and a student survey,
administered primarily as a web survey,
and carries over respondent burden,
procedures, and materials related to the
NPSAS:24 FT institution sampling,
enrollment list collection, and matching
to administrative data files as approved
by OMB in September 2022
(OMB#1859–0666 v. 33). The materials
and procedures are based on those
developed for previous institution-based
data collections, including the 2019–20
National Postsecondary Student Aid
Study (NPSAS:20) [OMB #1850–0666
v.25].
The first NPSAS was implemented by
NCES during the 1986–87 academic
year to meet the need for national data
about significant financial aid issues.
Since 1987, NPSAS has been fielded
every 2 to 4 years, most recently during
the 2019–20 academic year (NPSAS:20).
NPSAS:24 will be nationallyrepresentative. The NPSAS:24 field test
sample size will be 6,000 students, and
the full-scale sample will include
137,000 nationally representative
undergraduate and 25,000 nationally
representative graduate students who
will be asked to complete a survey and
for whom we will collect student
records and administrative data. If the
full-scale budget allows, we will include
state-representative sampling for the
full-scale collection and provide the
budget for a state-representative
sampling plan in the 30-day full-scale
package, planned for 2023. Also, if
exercised, NPSAS:24 will serve as the
base year for the 2024 cohort of the
Baccalaureate and Beyond (B&B)
Longitudinal Study and will include a
nationally representative sample of
students who will complete
requirements for the bachelor’s degree
during the NPSAS year (i.e., completed
at some point between July 1, 2022 and
June 30, 2023 for the field test and July
1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 for the fullscale). Subsets of questions in the
student survey will focus on describing
aspects of the experience of students in
their last year of postsecondary
education, including student debt and
education experiences. This submission
is designed to adequately justify the
need for and overall practical utility of
the full study, presenting the
overarching plan for all phases of the
student data collection and providing as
much detail about the measures to be
used as is available at the time of this
submission.
As part of this submission, NCES is
publishing a notice in the Federal
Register allowing first a 60- and then a
30-day public comment period. Field
test materials, procedures, and results

comment period on the final details of
the NPSAS:24 full-scale student records
and student survey data collections.

instructions for applicants provided in
the notice published in the Federal
Register on December 27, 2021 (86 FR
73264). Throughout section 4, the
Department has removed reference to
the Data Universal Numbering System
number (DUNS) given the full
implementation of the Unique Entity
Identifier (UEI). The Department has
also made some technical updates to the
instructions.
The revised common instructions are
set forth as follows:
Common Set of Instructions for
Applicants:
Application and Submission
Information
1. Address to Request Application
Package: You can obtain an application
package from the Department’s website
or Grants.gov.
To obtain a copy via the Department’s
website, use the following address:
www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/
grantapps/.
2. Content and Form of Application
Submission: Requirements concerning
the content and form of an application,
together with the forms you must
submit, are in the application package
for the program.
3. Submission Dates and Times:
Submit applications for grants under the
program electronically using Grants.gov.
For information (including dates and
times) about how to submit your
application electronically, please refer
to Other Submission Requirements in
section 5 of these instructions.
The Department does not consider an
application that does not comply with
the deadline requirements.
4. Unique Entity Identifier, Taxpayer
Identification Number, and System for
Award Management: To do business
with the Department, and to submit
your application electronically using
Grants.gov, you must—
a. Have a Unique Entity Identifier
(UEI) and a Taxpayer Identification
Number (TIN);
b. Be registered in the System for
Award Management (SAM.gov), the
Government’s primary registrant
database;
c. Provide your UEI number and TIN
on your application; and
d. Maintain an active SAM
registration with current information
while your application is under review
by the Department and, if you are
awarded a grant, during the project
period.
If you are a corporate entity, agency,
institution, or organization, you can
obtain a TIN from the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS). If you are an individual,
you can obtain a TIN from the IRS or the
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Social Security Administration. If you
need a new TIN, please allow two to
five weeks for your TIN to become
active.
The SAM registration process usually
takes approximately 7 to 10 business
days, but may take longer, depending on
the completeness and accuracy of the
data you enter into the SAM.gov
database. The Department recommends
that you register early, at least 10 to 14
business days before the application
deadline. If you are unable to submit an
application on Grants.gov by the
application deadline because you do not
have an active SAM registration, you
will not be considered for funding.
Note: Once your SAM.gov registration
is active, it may be 24 to 48 hours before
you can access the information in, and
submit an application through,
Grants.gov.
If you are currently registered with
SAM.gov, you may not need to make
any changes. However, please make
certain that the TIN associated with
your UEI is correct.
Note: You must update your SAM
registration annually. This may take
three or more business days.
Information about SAM is available at
www.SAM.gov. To further assist you
with registering in SAM.gov or updating
your existing SAM registration, see the
Quick Start Guide for Grant
Registrations and the Entity Registration
Video at https://sam.gov/content/entityregistration.
In addition, in order to submit your
application via Grants.gov, you must (1)
register as an applicant using your UEI
number and (2) be designated by your
organization’s E-Biz Point of Contact as
an Authorized Organization
Representative (AOR). Details on these
steps are outlined at the following
Grants.gov web page: https://
www.grants.gov/web/grants/
register.html.
5. Other Submission Requirements:
a. Electronic Submission of
Applications.
The Department is participating as a
partner in the Government-wide
Grants.gov site. Submit applications
electronically using Grants.gov and do
not email them unless explicitly
allowed in a competition NIA.
You may access the electronic grant
applications at www.grants.gov. You
may search for the downloadable
application package for this competition
