This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by helping to
improve the security of a strategic
partner. This proposed sale will
contribute to Iraq’s stability and
sovereignty by increasing its situational
awareness and ability to identify
potential Chemical, Biological,
Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN)
agents. This proposed sale directly
supports the Iraqi government and
serves the interests of the Iraqi people
and the United States.

survey, surveillance, and sampling to
reduce the effects of exposure to these
hazardous agents.
The proposed sale of this equipment

known offset agreements proposed in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require approximately 35 U.S.
Government or contractor
representatives to travel to Iraq for a
period of up 2 years to provide
management and training.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System
(IPEDS) 2013–2016.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0582.
Type of Review: Revision of an
existing collection of information.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 71,867.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 929,530.
Abstract: The Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System
(IPEDS) is a web-based data collection
system designed to collect basic data
from all postsecondary institutions in
the United States and the other
jurisdictions. IPEDS enables NCES to
report on key dimensions of
postsecondary education such as
enrollments, degrees and other awards
earned, tuition and fees, average net
price, student financial aid, graduation

rates, revenues and expenditures,
faculty salaries, and staff employed. The
IPEDS web-based data collection system
was implemented in 2000–01, and it
collects basic data from approximately
7,500 postsecondary institutions in the
United States and the other jurisdictions
that are eligible to participate in Title IV
Federal financial aid programs. All Title
IV institutions are required to respond
to IPEDS (Section 490 of the Higher
Education Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L.
102–325)). IPEDS allows other (non-title
IV) institutions to participate on a
voluntary basis. About 200 elect to
respond. IPEDS data are available to the
public through the College Navigator
and IPEDS Data Center Web sites. The
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES) seeks authorization to continue
its IPEDS data collection. Current
authorization expires 6/30/2014 (OMB
No. 1850–0582). We are requesting a
new clearance for the 2014–15 and
2015–16 data collections now in order
to provide institutions advanced notice
of changes to the current data collection.
Because the already approved 2013–14
IPEDS data collection has not yet taken
place, we are carrying over the
documentation and estimated burden
associated with the 2013–14 data
collection.
