Abstract: Under the new disclosure requirements, an institution must provide current and prospective students with information about each of its programs that prepares students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation (GE programs) using a disclosure template provided by the Secretary. The Secretary must specify the information to be included on the disclosure template in a notice published in the Federal Register. In accordance with the requirements of § 668.412 of the Gainful Employment (GE) final regulations published in the Federal Register on October 31, 2014 (79 FR 64890), as corrected on December 4, 2014 (79 FR 71957), this collection describes the items that must be disclosed on the GE disclosure template. This request revises the current information collection for the disclosure template to reflect the new disclosure requirements and provides notice of the information that institutions must disclose. The Department is further requesting that burden currently calculated for 1845-0107 be discharged and transfer the burden already calculated for §668.412 regarding the GE disclosure requirements from 1845-0123 to this information collection.

Short Statement: This is a revision of the current collection package. The Department is requesting discharge of the current burden assigned to 1845-0107 (448,152 hours, 2,611,405 respondents and 2,645,033 responses) due to the sunset provision of 34 CFR 668.6(d). The Department is requesting the transfer of the currently assessed 3,118,160 burden hours, 27,944,411 respondents and responses for 34 CFR 668.412 from approved information collection 1845-0123. Further following the transfer, we are requesting a decrease in the number of respondents by -13,987,039 to correct an over-counting of participating institutions. The corrected burden request for this information collection is now 13,957,372 respondents, 27,944,411 responses, and 3,118,160 hours.
