The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for the Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance (Title IX NPRM) to propose amendments to the Departmentâs implementing regulations for Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The Departmentâs proposed regulations would require a recipient to maintain various documents regarding its Title IX activities for a period of at least seven years. These requirements are specified in proposed 34 CFR 106.8(f).
Recipients impacted by the proposed regulations include local education agencies, institutes of higher education and other entities that receive Federal grant funds from the Department. The information collected would allow recipients and the Department to assess on a longitudinal basis whether a recipient is complying with the Departmentâs Title IX regulations when it is has information about sex discrimination, the prevalence of sex discrimination affecting access to a recipientâs education program or activity, and whether additional or different training is necessary for the recipient to fulfill its obligations under Title IX.

This is a new collection and the program change is due to modification of the collection of information under amendments to the Departmentâs Title IX regulations and it would result in an increase of burden to respondents. In total, modifications to recordkeeping systems would cost $42,546,322.76 in Year 1 and would have an ongoing burden of $34,737,562.06 per year. The program change would result in an increase in burden and responses of 500,980 hours and 24,600 responses.
