Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 21, 2024 / Notices
(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. 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: Gainful
Employment/Financial Value
Transparency Reporting Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW.
Type of Review: A new ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
local, and Tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 149,800.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 2,665,823.
Abstract: The regulations in § 668.408
in Subpart Q—Financial Value
Transparency, that were negotiated in
2022 and the Final Rule published in
2023, establish reporting requirements
for postsecondary institutions who
participate in the title IV programs
under the Higher Education Act of 1965,
as amended, to report on their students
who enroll in, complete, or withdraw
from a gainful employment (GE)
program or an eligible non-GE program
in specified award years. The new
regulations also define the timeframes
for institutions to report the required
information. This is a request for a new
collection to allow the Department to
obtain the required information and
assess the burden on institutions. The
average burden hours of 2,665,823 is for
the average 149,860 responses for 4,518
respondents over 3 years. We divided
the total 3 year burden hours of
7,997,468, and the 499,580 responses by
3 to obtain these averages.
