an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing

reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered
public records.
Title of Collection: Pell for Students who are Incarcerated
Experimental Site Initiative.
OMB Control Number: 1845-0139.
Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved
information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments;
Private Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 170.
[[Page 43115]]
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 12,750.
Abstract: Through the Pell for Students who are Incarcerated
experiment (also known as Second Chance Pell) the Department of
Education will provide selected eligible postsecondary institutions
with a waiver to the current statutory ban on incarcerated individuals,
who are otherwise eligible, from receiving Federal Pell Grant funds to
attend eligible postsecondary programs. The experiment aims to test
whether participation in high-quality educational opportunities
increases after access to financial aid for incarcerated adults is
expanded and to examine how waiving the restriction influences
individual academic and life outcomes. This is a reinstatement of the
information collection instrument that is used by the Department to
select qualified institutions.
