The Department of Education (the
Department) proposes to amend the Student Assistance General
Provisions regulations issued under the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (HEA), to implement changes made to the Student
Assistance General Provisions regulations in §668.74 –
Employability of graduates. These proposed regulations are a result
of negotiated rulemaking and would add requirements to the current
regulations. The proposed regulation in §668.74(g)(2) contains a
provision that allows the Department to verify that an institution
correctly calculated its job placement rate by requiring an
institution to furnish to the Secretary, upon request,
documentation and other data that was used to calculate the
institution’s employment rate calculations.
This request is to revise the
currently approved information collection. These changes are due to
the proposed regulations offered through program change. The
proposed increase in burden to this information collection is 48
hours based on an additional estimated total of 1 response each
from 6 institutions. The institutions would have to provide the
background documentation of the employment rate calculation
information to the Secretary if requested.
