Foreign Gifts and Contracts Disclosures

Federal Student Aid (FSA) is requesting a new information collection to collect the required information from institutions regarding foreign gifts and contracts as specified in the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended. Section 117 of the HEA, codified at 20 U.S.C. § 1011f, provides that institutions of higher education must file a disclosure report with the Secretary of Education on January 31 or July 31, whichever is sooner, under certain circumstances. In June of 2020, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) established a collection of information, Foreign Gifts and Contracts Disclosures, 1801-0006, through ED’s Partner Enterprise Business Collaboration (PEBC) system. That collection is under an OMB control number for ED’s Office of the General Counsel (OGC), which has worked closely with FSA in recent years with respect to administration of Section 117. With this request for a new collection, the Department would be returning the collection of this information to FSA, which is the office with primary responsibility for the administration of Section 117 within the Department going forward. At present, the Department plans to continue to collect this data through its PEBC system with only slight modifications based on public comment.
