    Title of Collection: Revised Second Chance Pell Experiment and 
Prison Education Program (PEP) Data Collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-NEW.
    Type of Review: A new ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and 
Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 675.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 6,750.
    Abstract: This is a request for a new information collection to 
collect programmatic and student information from participating 
institutions. This collection will cover the required statutory 
reporting for both the revised Second Chance Pell experiment and Prison 
Education Programs (PEPs) for confined or incarcerated individuals. 
Since schools participating in the Second Chance Pell experiment have 
three years to transition their programs under the experiment to comply 
with the PEP requirements, the data collected for the experiment and 
the PEP provisions is almost identical. The only difference is the 
specific information collected from institutions participating in the 
Second Chance Pell to provide a status of their progress in converting 
their current programs under the experiment to be in compliance with 
the PEP provisions.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance, Governance and 
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
