The burden increase of 677,190 hours is a program change associated with the final regulation as a result of the requirement for institutions that prepare students in programs that lead to gainful employment in a recognized occupation to report and disclose a variety of information. Reporting will be required to associate classification of instructional program (CIP) codes for each program that leads to gainful employment as well as the location of the institution where the student either begins study or completes the program within the award year. In addition, the institutions will report information that will identify the students in those programs, the date the student completed the program, the amount the student received from private education loans and institutional financing programs, and whether the student matriculated into a higher credentialed program of study at the same or another institution. In addition, for each program under these final regulations, the institution will report on its Web site the name of the occupation and its Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code along with links to occupational links available through the Department of Labor's O-NET Web site. The institutional information will also include reporting about on-time graduation rates, cost of tuition and fees, the cost of room and board, and other institutional costs that a typical student would incur. Finally, beginning no later than July 1, 2011, institutions will report the placement rate for students completing the program as determined by their accrediting agency or State, until a new rate as developed by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) will be provided to the institution by the Department. In addition, the institution will disclose the median title IV, Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) student loan debt incurred by students who completed the program and separately the median private education loan and institutional financing debt that was incurred by graduating students.
