Title: Institutional Survey of the Operation of the Federal Work-Study Program
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 04/27/1998
	Date Received in OIRA: 02/23/1998
Terms of Clearance: Approved as amended by ED's memos and revisions of 4/8/98 4/20/98 and 4/27/98. Also, ED agrees the following: 1) ED will continue to investigate the feasibility of linking existing studies with the proposed study in order to analyze differences in student outcomes between FWS recipients, students who work on their own, and students who don't work; 2) ED will in the future attempt to ensure that all pretesting on survey instruments are completed prior to beginning the clearance process under the PRA; 3) In order to better understand what institutions know about FWS job placement for their students and whether those placements can be linked to students' academic interests and career goals, ED will re-insert question 4.9 and 4.10 into the survey instrument; 4) OMB notes that this study collects data similar to data collected on the FISAP. ED indicates in the 4/8 memo to OMB that they cannot rely on the existing FISAP data to supplement the present study because the FISAP data is outdated. In light of the existence of valuable information on campus based programs in the FISAP and in the interest of avoiding duplicative reporting, ED will in future collections dealing with campus based programs, make greater efforts to coordinate the timing of the implementation of information collection efforts with the availability of timel and relevant FISAP data; 5) Consistent with the 4/20/98 memo, in the three-stage sampling design for the student survey, ED will use a PPS sampling technique in the second stage of the sample (e.g., in selecting a subset of the institutions used in the present survey). OMB notes that ED's use of only those responding institutions in order to select a student sample is justified by ED's study methodology which includes analytical links between the institutional survey and the student survey.
