OMB 1880-0544
The Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) reviews, investigates, and processes complaints of alleged violations of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) filed by parents and eligible students. FPCO’s authority to investigate, review, and process complaints extends to allegations of violations of FERPA by any recipient of Unites States Department of Education (Department) funds under a program administered by the Secretary (e.g., schools, school districts, postsecondary institutions, state educational agencies, and other third parties that receive Department funds). This revision includes the addition of the PPRA Complaint form that would allow parents to file a complaint. The Department expects to receive more than 10 complaints under the PPRA requiring approval.
The latest form for FERPA and PPRA E-Complaint Forms expires 2022-07-31 and is listed under ICR 201809-1880-001.
