Congress has been actively engaged in efforts to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), most recently amended by the No Child Left Behind Act. This book examines the hour and cost burden associated with complying with the ESEA statutory and regulatory reporting requirements associated with 16 information collection packages. The book also discusses which requirements, if any, experts say create burden, the types of burdens and benefits schools say requirements create, and how education solicits feedback from stakeholders on regulatory burden.

In the "Higher Education Opportunity Act" of 2008, Congress charged the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance with conducting a review and analysis of regulations affecting higher education to determine the extent to which regulations are overly burdensome and need to be streamlined, improved, or eliminated. Specifically, Congress suggested the Advisory Committee determine which regulations are "duplicative, no longer necessary, inconsistent with other federal regulations, or overly burdensome." Pursuant to this legislative mandate, the Advisory Committee took the following steps: (1) convened two review panels of individuals with relevant experience and knowledge to review the regulations under the "Higher Education Act" (HEA) and make recommendations for streamlining, improvement, or elimination; (2) developed and maintained a website to provide information on HEA regulations, including an area for the community to offer recommendations of regulations in need of streamlining; (3) held two public hearings designed to identify the most burdensome aspects of individual regulations and the overall regulatory system, as well as proposed improvements; (4) designed and conducted an anonymous and confidential web-based survey, which generated over 2,000 responses, to assess the higher education community's perceptions of regulatory burden; (5) specified a set of community-driven perceived problems and proposed solutions for both the individual regulations cited in the study and the overall system of regulation; and (6) validated the perceived problems and proposed solutions with over 100 volunteers from the higher education community. In addition, the Committee conducted numerous meetings, conference calls, and presentations throughout the study to solicit feedback and suggestions on regulatory burden. While extensive, these approaches have limitations, which are outlined in the Conclusions and Recommendations section (pages 47-49). The overarching finding is that the higher education community perceives the regulations under the HEA to be unnecessarily burdensome. More important, the majority view is that the specific regulations cited in the study can be improved without adverse effects on program integrity or student success. This view includes, as well, a strong sense that certain components of the overall, one-size-fits-all system of regulation under the HEA require improvement. Perhaps most important, the majority opinion is that improvements to individual regulations and the system will not only lower regulatory burden without adverse effects, but generate savings that can be used to expand student access and persistence. Based on these findings, the following recommendations are made--one legislative and one regulatory: (1) Congress should direct the Secretary of Education to convene at least two review panels of higher education representatives to provide advice and recommendations on the 15 regulations cited in this report and on the feasibility of alternative approaches to the current system of regulation, including the provision of regulatory relief based on performance indicators. Such panels should be incorporated as routine collaboration during retrospective reviews of regulations; and (2) The Secretary of Education should conduct an immediate review of the 15 regulations cited in this report, including an analysis of the feasibility of implementing the proposed solutions and identifying any adverse effects on program integrity, student success, and cost of compliance. The Advisory Committee strongly supports Executive Order 13563 of January 18, 2011, which states that regulatory systems must be based on the best available science, allow for public participation, and use the most innovative and least burdensome tools for achieving regulatory ends. Applying this philosophy and approach to the regulations under the HEA promises rewards for both institutions and students. Appended are: (1) Profile of Survey Respondents; (2) Profile of Regulations Used In Study; (3) Additional Suggestions of Burdensome Regulations by Survey Respondents; (4) Review Panel #1; (5) Review Panel #2; (6) June 25, 2010 Hearing Panelists; (7) September 30, 2011 Hearing Panelists; (8) Letter from ACSFA Chair and Vice Chair; (9) ACSFA Members; (10) ACSFA Staff; and (11) ACSFA Authorizing Legislation.

Research universities are critical contributors to our national research enterprise. They are the principal source of a world-class labor force and fundamental discoveries that enhance our lives and the lives of others around the world. These institutions help to create an educated citizenry capable of making informed and crucial choices as participants in a democratic society. However many are concerned that the unintended cumulative effect of federal regulations undercuts the productivity of the research enterprise and diminishes the return on the federal investment in research. Optimizing the Nation's Investment in Academic Research reviews the regulatory framework as it currently exists, considers specific regulations that have placed undue and often unanticipated burdens on the research enterprise, and reassesses the process by which these regulations are created, reviewed, and retired. This review is critical to strengthen the partnership between the federal government and research institutions, to maximize the creation of new knowledge and products, to provide for the effective training and education of the next generation of scholars and workers, and to optimize the return on the federal investment in research for the benefit of the American people.

In the "Higher Education Opportunity Act" of 2008, Congress charged the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance with conducting a review and analysis of regulations affecting higher education, to determine the extent to which regulations are overly burdensome and need to be streamlined, improved, or eliminated. Specifically, Congress recommended the Advisory Committee determine which regulations are "duplicative, no longer necessary, inconsistent with other federal regulations, or overly burdensome." Pursuant to the legislative mandate, the Advisory Committee convened two review panels of individuals who have experience with federal regulations affecting all sectors of higher education to review regulations and make recommendations for streamlining, improvement, or elimination. In addition, a website was developed and maintained to provide information on HEA regulations, including an area for the public to offer recommendations of regulations in need of streamlining. The Committee further engaged the community through numerous meetings, conference calls, and presentations soliciting feedback and suggestions on regulatory burden. This report presents preliminary findings from the review panels, the website, and the web-based survey implemented to assess the perceptions of the higher education community toward specific regulations and the overall regulatory system, as well as preferences for future regulatory reform efforts. Design of the study efforts, including the survey, was driven by five questions: (1) How burdensome does the higher education community consider the regulations under the HEA? Which regulations are perceived as most burdensome?; (2) Can HEA regulations be streamlined or eliminated without adversely affecting program integrity, accountability, student access, and student success?; (3) Are key components of the system of regulation under the HEA perceived as needing change?; (4) Would streamlining or eliminating individual regulations reduce costs for institutions and students? Would modifications to the system of regulation reduce such costs?; and (5) What should be the focus of future regulatory reform efforts for higher education? How should such efforts proceed? Findings to the first research question are: (1) A large majority of respondents perceive the regulations under the HEA as a whole as burdensome or overly burdensome; (2) Respondents perceive overlap between the HEA regulations and other regulations, particularly with state regulations and other federal regulations; (3) A majority of respondents rank the regulations under the HEA as most burdensome among all types of regulation; and (4) The majority of office administrators perceive 14 of the 15 regulations cited in the survey as very burdensome or burdensome. Finding to the second question is: The majority of office administrators perceive that many of the 15 regulations cited in the survey could be either eliminated or modified without losing necessary protections. Findings to the third research question are: (1) The majority of respondents perceive the monitoring processes to be effective at identifying problem areas and informing changes to the regulations, although a plurality judge them as only marginally effective; (2) A majority of both senior executives and office administrators perceive the negotiated rulemaking process as effective but needing change; (3) Less than a third of the office administrators indicate familiarity with the federal regulatory burden calculations; and (4) Of those office administrators familiar with the federal regulatory burden calculations, a large majority view them as inaccurate. Findings to the fourth question are: (1) The majority of office administrators perceive that modifying or eliminating 13 of the 15 regulations cited would yield significant or very significant savings; and (2) Senior executives perceive that savings from regulatory reform would be used most likely for expanding counseling and customer services, as well as increasing need-based institutional aid. Finding to the fifth research question are: (1) The majority of both senior executives and office administrators prefer pursuing sector-specific or performance-based regulatory structures; (2) The majority of senior executives prefer 8 of the 13 triggers for regulatory relief cited in the survey; and (3) The majority of both senior executives and office administrators find further study of the HEA regulations, a comprehensive study, or an ED review of regulations with the community to be very or somewhat helpful. Appended are: (1) Profile of Survey Respondents; (2) Profile of Individual Regulations Used in the Higher Education Regulations Study Survey; (3) Additional Suggestions of Burdensome Requirements by Survey Respondents; (4) Title IV Review Panelists Higher Education Regulations Study Review Panel #1; (5) Higher Education Act Review Panelists Higher Education Regulations Study Review Panel #2; (6) Letter from Advisory Committee Chair and Vice Chair Announcing Survey; (7) Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance Members; (8) Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance Staff; (9) Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance Authorizing Legislation.
