Sections 1, 2, and 4 of this Act, and the amendments made by such sections, shall take effect on the date that is 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act. The Secretary of Education and the Commissioner for Education Statistics shall take such steps as are necessary to ensure that the transition to, and implementation of, the postsecondary student data system required under section 132(l) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as added by section 2 of this Act, happens in a manner that initially reduces the reporting burden for postsecondary institutions that reported into the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) on the day before enactment of this Act.
Such steps may include testing early versions of the postsecondary student data system or early versions of the data collection or aggregate information summary features of the system with a targeted group of users.
