Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 07/27/2007
	Date Received in OIRA: 05/30/2007
Terms of Clearance: This collection is approved for one year only. This collection does not currently meet OMB standards for the collection of data on race and ethnicity. ED and OMB are working to bring this and ED's other collections into conformance with the OMB standards, and it is expected that the resubmission of this collection will contain a clear plan for bringing this collection into conformance with the OMB standards. In addition, OMB appreciates the Department’s willingness to expand IPEDS to collect more detailed student financial aid data, improve data on ED’s program performance measures, and collect new data on institutional accountability and transfer of credit policies. However, OMB also recognizes that any expansion of IPEDS needs to be closely coordinated with the Department’s other postsecondary efforts, including its strategy for collecting postsecondary student level data. By January 2008, OMB requests that the Department provide a coordinated plan on how it plans to revise IPEDS and otherwise improve its postsecondary education data, as well as a timetable for implementation and major interim steps. This plan should explicitly address how the Department could improve its program performance measures for its postsecondary education programs (particularly the student aid programs), and/or how they could improve the data collected on existing measures. Completing this plan by January 2008 will provide enough time to discuss this strategy with OMB before the submission of the 2008-2009 information collection request.

Abstract: IPEDS is a system of surveys designed to collect basic data from approximately 6,600 Title IV postsecondary institutions in the United States.
