The Department convened a negotiated rulemaking committee, the Institutional and Programmatic Eligibility Committee, to consider proposed regulations for the Federal Student Aid programs authorized under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA). Through the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), docket number ED-2022-OPE-0062, the Secretary proposes new regulations to promote transparency, competence, stability, and effective outcomes for students in the provision of postsecondary education.
The Department proposes the changes to the following sections in information collection 1845-0022 Student Assistance General Provisions. In § 668.14, the NPRM proposes requiring institutions that are provisionally certified and that are determined to be at risk of closure to submit an acceptable teach-out plan or agreement to the Department, the State, and the institutionâs recognized accrediting agency. In § 668.15, the NPRM proposes to simplify the regulations by consolidating the financial responsibility requirements for changes in ownership under proposed part 668, subpart L and removing and reserving current § 668.15. In §668.16, the NPRM proposes additional standards in the administrative capability regulations would ensure that institutions can appropriately administer the title IV, HEA programs. §668.23 the NPRM proposes new language that would require a domestic or foreign institution that is owned directly or indirectly by any foreign entity to provide documentation stating its status under the law of the jurisdiction under which it is organized. Also, in § 668.23the NPRM propose language that would require an institution to disclose in a footnote to its financial statement audit the dollar amounts it has spent in the preceding fiscal year on recruiting activities, advertising, and other pre-enrollment expenditures. In § 668.43 the NPRM proposes to establish a Department website for the posting and distribution of key information and disclosures pertaining to the institutionâs educational programs. In § 668.171, the NPRM proposes to amend the regulations by adding several new events to the existing reporting requirements and expanding others and by adding language which would also require a public institution to provide to the Department a letter from an official of the government entity or other signed documentation acceptable to the Department.
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 based on an estimated 374,872 hours.
