Abstract: The final regulations for Institutional Eligibility Under the Higher Education Act of 1965, the Student Assistance General Provisions, the Federal Family Education Loan Program, and the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program implements provisions related to the eligibility of foreign institutions for participation in the Federal student aid programs that were added to the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-315) (HEOA), as well as other provisions related to the eligibility of foreign institutions. Specifically, these regulations establish new requirements in 34 CFR 668.23(h) for both audited financial statements and compliance audits for foreign institutions based in part on fiscal year funding received at the school for US students receiving Title IV, Higher Education Act (HEA) program funds. The final regulation in §668.23(h)(1) establishes new audited financial statement submission requirements for foreign institutions receiving Title IV, HEA program funds in the most recently completed fiscal year. The final regulation in §668.23(h)(2) separates foreign institutions into two groups, establishing new compliance audit requirements for foreign schools based upon whether the institution received less than $500,000 or $500,000 or more in Title IV, HEA program funds during the institution’s most recently completed fiscal year.

Short Statement: The final regulations for 34 CFR 668.23 resulted in a program change in burden hours. The burden increase inter alia results from incorporating changes based on statutory changes from the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-315) to current regulations regarding the requirement for and timelines of submissions of audited financial statements and compliance audits from foreign schools based in part on fiscal year funding received at the school for US students receiving Title IV, HEA program funds. The burden changes are a result of final changes to regulations to help to clarify which institutions are required to provide audited financial statements and compliance audits and at what level the reporting is required.
