On September 4, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education published a notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment on extending an existing information collection related to accreditation participation and disclosures.
The Department is asking to extend OMB Control Number 1845-0156 without any changes. This collection covers institutional requirements under two federal regulations:
- 34 CFR § 668.26 – Addresses what happens when an institution ends its participation in Title IV federal student aid programs under the Higher Education Act (HEA).
- 34 CFR § 668.43 – Governs the disclosure of institutional and programmatic information that schools must provide to students.
Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before November 3, 2025.
“This is a request for an extension without change of a currently approved collection, 1845-0156 Accreditation Participation and Disclosures. These regulations are § 668.26—End of an institution’s participations in the Title IV, HEA programs and § 668.43—Institutional and programmatic information. There have been no changes to the regulations or burden assessment.”
