Short Statement: A program change in burden resulting in an increase of 593,318 hours and 3,499,998 responses associated with the final regulations is as a result of the requirement for institutions that prepare students in programs that lead to gainful employment in a recognized occupation to disclose specified information. The bulk of the increase comes in the identification of the burden placed on prospective students reading the information that the institutions are required to provide on the gainful employment program's web page or informational materials about the specific program that leads to gainful employment. There is a net decrease in burden of 1,681 hours identified for institutions. The Department is now making available the template that institutions will be required to use to provide this information.
