Department of Education Information Collection System
Welcome to the U.S. Department of Education Information Collection System. Here, you will be able to access the information collection document sets of all OMB approved collection efforts, as well as those collections waiting for OMB approval (pending). The following is a list of information collection document sets (referred to as Collection Packages hereafter). The Collection Packages are grouped by whether or not they have been approved.

Browse Pending Collections

Collection Packages awaiting approval by OMB may or may not have an OMB approval number. Assuming a Principal Office is designated a number 1800, and the Collection Package is given a serial number of 00101. If the collection Package does not yet have an approval number, it will appear as (00101)1800-NEW. If it was assigned an OMB number but has not yet been approved, it will appear as (00101)1800-0100.

Browse Active Collections

Approved Collection Packages are currently active. Assuming a Principal Office is designated a number 1800, the Collection Package was assigned a serial number of 00202, and OMB assigned a number of 0100 it would appear as (00202)1800-0100, exactly like an unapproved Collection Package that has been assigned an OMB number.

Upon approval of a burden change to an active collection, the EDICS Collection Package Detail page of the relevant collection will reflect the correspending changes. This link, named as 'Recent Change to Collection Package', will display the original and new values of the burden hours and annual responses, with the differences between the original and new values.
