The Department of Education has announced a request for public comments on extending an existing information collection requirement related to the Student Assistance General Provisions—Annual Fire Safety Report. This request is made under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and seeks to continue collecting data on fires in on-campus student housing without any changes to the current rules. The public is invited to provide feedback on the necessity of this data collection, its timeliness, and suggestions for minimizing its burden. Comments should be submitted by February 14, 2025.
Simple Explanation
Imagine a school asking about fires in student dorms every year to make sure everyone's safe. They want to keep asking the same questions, and they need people to say if this is important and how to make it easier to answer.
