Abstract: The Department of Education is requesting a revision of the current burden hours in 1845-0022. The Department proposes to amend the regulations issued under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), to implement the changes made by the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA) (Pub. L. 113-4), which, among other provisions, amended section 485(f) of the HEA, otherwise known as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act). These proposed regulations are a result of negotiated rulemaking and would update and clarify the current regulations. This is a revision to the current collection due to changed regulatory action that requires additional collection and reporting by the institutions. Burden that is impacted is in proposed 668.46 (b), 668.46(c) 668.46(j), and 668.46(k). The Department is requesting continued approval of the current collection along with consideration of the following revisions.

Short Statement: This is a request for a revision of a current collection. The increase in burden is a result of the proposed regulations at 668.46 implementing changes based on the reauthorization of VAWA and its effect on the Clery Act. These program changes add to the current burden in part due to the inclusion of two new sections in 668.46 that require additional data collection and reporting by institutions as well as revisions to the existing data collection and reporting requirements.
