Abstract: This is an extension of an existing collection under OMB Control No. 1870–0505.

The ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2023. The regulations that require the collection of information are set forth below.

    Abstract: This is an extension of an existing collection under OMB 
Control No. 1870-0505. This collection was originally submitted by the 
U.S. Department of Education (the Department) in December 2018 in 
connection with a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for the 
Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or 
Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance to propose amendments 
to the Department's implementing regulations for title IX of the 
Education Amendments of 1972. (ICR Reference No. 201811-1870-001). The 
Department finalized its rulemaking in May 2020 and the ICR was 
approved by OMB on December 8, 2020 (ICR Reference No. 202005-1870-
001). The ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2023. The 
regulations that require the collection of information are set forth 
below.
    Section 106.45(b)(2) Notice of Allegations requires all recipients, 
upon receipt of a formal complaint, to provide written notice to the 
complainant and the respondent, informing the parties of the 
recipient's grievance process and providing sufficient details of the 
sexual harassment allegations being investigated. This written notice 
will help ensure that the nature and scope of the investigation, and 
the recipient's procedures, are clearly understood by the parties at 
the commencement of an investigation.
    Section 106.45(b)(9) Informal resolution requires that recipients 
who wish to provide parties with the option of informal resolution of 
formal complaints, may offer this option to the parties but may only 
proceed by: first, providing the parties with written notice disclosing 
the sexual harassment allegations, the requirements of an informal 
resolution process, any consequences from participating in the informal 
resolution process; and second, obtaining the parties' voluntary, 
written consent to the informal resolution process. This provision 
permits--but does not require--recipients to allow for voluntary 
participation in an informal resolution as a method of resolving the 
allegations raised in formal complaints without completing the 
investigation and adjudication. Additionally, recipients may not offer 
or facilitate an informal resolution process to resolve allegations 
that an employee sexually harassed a student.
    Section 106.45(b)(10) requires recipients to maintain certain 
documentation regarding their title IX activities. Recipients would be 
required to maintain for a period of seven years records of: sexual 
harassment investigations, including any determination regarding 
responsibility and any audio or audiovisual recording or transcript 
required under Sec.  106.45(b)(6)(i), any disciplinary sanctions 
imposed on the respondent, and any remedies provided to the complainant 
designed to restore or preserve equal access to the recipient's 
education program or activity; any appeal and the result therefrom; any 
informal resolution; and all materials used to train Title IX 
Coordinators, investigators, decision-makers, and any person who 
facilitates an informal resolution process. Additionally, for each
