SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: ED School Climate
Surveys (EDSCLS) Benchmark Study
2016.
OMB Control Number: 1850—NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Voluntary.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 358,649.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 190,665.
Abstract: The ED School Climate
Surveys (EDSCLS) are a suite of survey
instruments being developed for
schools, districts, and states by the U.S.
Department of Education’s (ED)
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES). This national effort extends
current activities that measure school
climate, including the state-level efforts
of the Safe and Supportive Schools (S3)
grantees, which were awarded funds in
2010 by the ED’s Office of Safe and
Healthy Students (OSHS) to improve

school climate. Through the EDSCLS,
schools nationwide will have access to
survey instruments and a survey
platform that will allow for the
collection and reporting of school
climate data across stakeholders at the
local level. The surveys can be used to
produce school-, district-, and statelevel scores on various indicators of
school climate from the perspectives of
students, teachers, noninstructional
school staff and principals, and parents
and guardians. This request is to
conduct a national EDSCLS benchmark
study, collecting data from a nationally
representative sample of schools across
the United States, to create a national
comparison point for users of EDSCLS.
A nationally representative sample of
500 schools serving students in grades
5–12 will be sampled to participate in
the national benchmark study in spring
2016. The data collected from the
sampled schools will be used to
produce national school climate scores
on the various topics covered by
EDSCLS, which will be released in the
updated EDSCLS platform and provide
a basis for comparison between data
collected by schools and school systems
and the national school climate.

franchised service area. The electric
energy that the Applicant proposes to
export to Mexico would be surplus
energy purchased from third parties
