between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U. S. C. Chapter 35) requires that the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an
early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB
may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the
extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat
the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal
law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform
its statutory obligations. The Director of the Information Resources
Group publishes this notice containing proposed information collection
requests prior to submission of these requests to OMB. Each proposed
information collection, grouped by office, contains the following: (1)
Type of review requested, e.g., new, revision, extension, existing or
reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4)
Description of the need for, and proposed use of, the information; (5)
Respondents and frequency of collection; and (6) Reporting and/or
Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites public comment at the address
specified above. Copies of the requests are available from Patrick J.
Sherrill at the address specified above.

Type of Review: Revision.
Title: Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) 1996
through 1997/1998.
Frequency: Annually.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, local or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.
Reporting Burden and Recordkeeping:
Responses: 37,234.
Burden Hours: 92,980.
Abstract: The IPEDS provides information on postsecondary
education--it's providers, enrollments, completions, and finances in
addition to other information. The recent publication of final
regulations for Student Right-to-Know and changes in financial
accounting standards for nonprofit institutions have made it necessary
for NCES to modify the IPEDS data collection for 1996 and 1997 to help
institutions adapt to these changes.
