	Date Received in OIRA: 11/18/1992
Terms of Clearance: Approved as amended by ED's memoranda to OMB of 2/10/93 and 2/11/93. With the development of the PEQIS, ED shall no longer employ the Fast Response Survey System to collect data from postsecondary institutions In addition, ED shall withdraw from participation in the NSF-sponsored Higher Education Survey system when the current sponsorship agreement expires, since the PEQIS may meet the needs of the entire Department o Education. The PEQIS is cleared under the following conditions: -- Each survey submitted for OMB review under the PEQIS shall include a set of policy goals addressed by the survey, research questions in the context of these goals, and a map indicating how the survey items will help to answer the research questions. -- Although the PEQIS does not include a standing panel of less-than-t year institutions, the significant policy interest in this sector necessitates special efforts to include them in ED's research agenda. ED has indicated that IPEDS shall be used as a current source for sampling less-than-two-year schools through the PEQIS. -- If program offices in the Department request a sample that allows f analytical distinctions between specific strata of schools, ED shall draw a supplementary sample to the PEQIS panel consistent with the research needs and level of support from the requesting program office
