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. The
Department is soliciting comments on
the proposed information collection
request (ICR) that is described below.
The Department 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: Revised Second
Chance Pell Experiment and Prison
Education Program (PEP) Data
Collection.
OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW.
Type of Review: A new ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private
sector; State, local, and Tribal
governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 675.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 6,750.
Abstract: This is a request for a new
information collection to collect
programmatic and student information
from participating institutions. This
collection will cover the required
statutory reporting for both the revised
Second Chance Pell experiment and
Prison Education Programs (PEPs) for
confined or incarcerated individuals.
Since schools participating in the
Second Chance Pell experiment have
three years to transition their programs
under the experiment to comply with
the PEP requirements, the data collected
for the experiment and the PEP
provisions is almost identical. The only
difference is the specific information
collected from institutions participating
in the Second Chance Pell to provide a
status of their progress in converting
their current programs under the
experiment to be in compliance with the
PEP provisions.

Title of Collection: Foreign Institution
Reporting Requirements under the

OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW.
Type of Review: A new ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
local, and Tribal governments; private
sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 104.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 52.
Abstract: The Department of
Education (the Department) is
requesting a new information collection,
1845–NEW, Foreign Institution
Reporting Requirements under the
CARES Act, be made available for full
clearance with public comment. Section
3510(a) of the CARES Act, Public Law
116–136 (March 27, 2020), authorized
the Secretary of Education (Secretary) to
permit a foreign institution, in the case
of a public health emergency, major
disaster or emergency, or national
emergency declared by the applicable
government authorities in the country in
which the foreign institution is located,
to provide any part of an otherwise
eligible program to be offered via
distance education for the duration of
such emergency or disaster and the
following payment period for purposes
of title IV of the Higher Education Act
of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1070 et seq.).
Additionally, under section 3510(d) of
E:\FR\FM\14DEN1.SGM
14DEN1
86640
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 239 / Thursday, December 14, 2023 / Notices
the CARES Act, the Secretary may allow
a foreign institution to enter into a
written arrangement with an institution
of higher education located in the
United States that participates in the
Federal Direct Loan Program under part
D of title IV of the Higher Education Act
of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1087a et seq.) for the
purpose of allowing a student of the
foreign institution who is a borrower of
a loan made under such part to take
courses from the institution of higher
education located in the United States.
The CARES Act requires foreign
institutions that use either type of
authority described above to report such
use to the Secretary. Institutions are
required to report use of either distance
education or written arrangements to
the Department no later than 30 days
after it begins offering coursework
online to Direct Loan recipients. The
Department must also collect specific
information from a school that requests
a waiver in order to determine if the
school is eligible to receive the waiver.
On May 12, 2020, Federal Student Aid,
an Office of the Department, notified
foreign institutions of the new authority
and requested that any foreign
institution who wished to utilize this
new authority to respond with
information specified in the email. This
information collection was discontinued
following the discontinuation of the
national COVID–19 emergency status.
However, due to other global situations
we are now requesting a new collection
to allow for the on-going use of the
CARES Act waiver.

Abstract: The Department of Education (the Department) is
requesting a new information collection, 1845-NEW, Foreign Institution
Reporting Requirements under the CARES Act, be made available for full
clearance with public comment. Section 3510(a) of the CARES Act, Public
Law 116-136 (March 27, 2020), authorized the Secretary of Education
(Secretary) to permit a foreign institution, in the case of a public
health emergency, major disaster or emergency, or national emergency
declared by the applicable government authorities in the country in
which the foreign institution is located, to provide any part of an
otherwise eligible program to be offered via distance education for the
duration of such emergency or disaster and the following payment period
for purposes of title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C.
1070 et seq.). Additionally, under section 3510(d) of
[[Page 86640]]
the CARES Act, the Secretary may allow a foreign institution to enter
into a written arrangement with an institution of higher education
located in the United States that participates in the Federal Direct
Loan Program under part D of title IV of the Higher Education Act of
1965 (20 U.S.C. 1087a et seq.) for the purpose of allowing a student of
the foreign institution who is a borrower of a loan made under such
part to take courses from the institution of higher education located
in the United States. The CARES Act requires foreign institutions that
use either type of authority described above to report such use to the
Secretary. Institutions are required to report use of either distance
education or written arrangements to the Department no later than 30
days after it begins offering coursework online to Direct Loan
recipients. The Department must also collect specific information from
a school that requests a waiver in order to determine if the school is
eligible to receive the waiver. On May 12, 2020, Federal Student Aid,
an Office of the Department, notified foreign institutions of the new
authority and requested that any foreign institution who wished to
utilize this new authority to respond with information specified in the
email. This information collection was discontinued following the
discontinuation of the national COVID-19 emergency status. However, due
to other global situations we are now requesting a new collection to
allow for the on-going use of the CARES Act waiver.
