National Postsecondary
Student Aid Study: 2000 (NPSAS: 2000) (Field Test, Full Scale, and
Field Test and Full Scale for First Followup of Baccalaureate and
Beyond)
Approved
consistent with and as amended by ED's memos to OMB of 3/19/99 and
3/26/99. In addition, the following terms apply: 1) the
remuneration strategy proposed by ED is approved only for the
purposes of the field test. Prior to implementing the full scale,
ED will report on its results with respect to this remuneration
strategy for OMB consideration and review. 2) OMB is approving the
follow-up race/ ethnicity question consistent with the language
used in ED's memo of 3/26. 3) The data obtained by ED as result of
this race/ethnicity follow-up may be used for the purpose of
research on transitioning from the old race/ethnicity categories to
the new categories. When available, ED will report the results of
these efforts to OMB. However, data for the follow-up question will
not be used for longitudinal analysis of trends in post-secondary
student aid (i.e., the general research purpose of the information
collection), and where NPSAS 2000 is the base year. In this
situation, only the standard new categories will be used for
analysis.
