This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

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.
